"I got stitches"

This last Sunday my sister and her family were in town. A couple of us were in the back yard with the dogs playing ball. My nephew was tossing a tennis ball for the dogs when on one throw he lost his balance from atop the rock he was standing. He nicked his eyebrow on a illplaced sprinkler head. Luckily for us we just happen to have a P.A. in the family that can do a little stitching up for free.

Recently I have been thinking that I would like to take some stock medical photography since I have easy access to facilities. So when this opportunity presented itself, along with a guaranteed model release, I jumped at the chance. Here is one of the better images from the shoot. I only had limited opportunity though since it only took 3 stitches. I also wished I had a macro lens handy.
