We Are Your Spinal-cord

Update/Edit: I am resubmitting this photograph. I re-shot the idea last year, with the city in the background... it fit better with the concept. Anyway, I just realized that I had never re-updated it on DA, so here we go.

_{I was slightly annoyed with my assignment this week in photography class. We were supposed to photograph something meaningful that shows our photographic style and personal expression. Immediately, I thought of submitting photos of my family. They mean the most to me, and this city and these people are still far too foreign to consider them personal.
But of course, I had to shoot a new roll of film and couldn't use old negatives. I thought about photographing friends, and that didn't work out. So I decided to try something a little conceptual. I don't generally like the whole conceptual stuff, because it often comes out cheesy. But it was my last resort. So this is supposed to represent my family and the people who have made me who I am.}
