Pins and Aspirin

Ms. McCord's six-person high school photography class was the highlight of my senior year. How much fun I had with Kim and Holly and Dave and our Pentax cameras. You would think that since there were only six of us I could remember the other two. I can't.

This is a photogram. I poured a bottle of aspirin and a box of straight pins directly onto photo paper in the darkroom and then exposed it under the enlarger.

Nineteen years later this image came to mind as I was thinking about Pain and Healing and how they are inseparable companions if I let them stick together.
