The explanation of this image involves pretty graphic medical terminology,

Ha ! Arn, these are digital photographs of the developed xray film (radiographs). And this is actually my first xray 'self portrait' (my 'vital areas' were covered with lead, BTW). The other shots are from post-operative trauma and reconstructive cases, and skeletal models I've built using surplus (used) orthopaedic implants. The radiology crew has taken xray images of all kinds of strange things for me(beeper/cellphone, cadaver bones, plants, household appliances, etc.). -John(ebones)

...dude, you must be glowing in the dark after all the (great) x-ray pics I've seen you post! How many doses have you taken? btw. isn't this technically taken with the x-ray machine instead of a Sony? ;) great pic. -Arn

BTW, how do you find subjects willing to "pose" for you?
