In days of yore, when someone had a terrible migraine headache, it was said that they were being possessed by evil spirits and someone would then drill holes in the inflicted person's head to set them free and purge the demons. When I have a bad migraine, I know I sometimes think about that practice and am thankful I don't own or know how to operate a drill. Here is a link to a smaller version of the stock photography I used. Thanks for viewing!

I KNOW the feeling. There are actually people today who drill holes in their own heads. Forgot the reason, but they weren't insane. Excellent surreal image. Superb work, Smoosh.

I wish I knew how to do half the things you can do with manipulation. I smiled hard when I first saw this.

Totally off topic - I own a drill :) Always wanted one, waited every Christmas and birthday with no results so went and out myself one about 4 years ago - I have used it once already lol. Not for migraines though.

Now your image - I find it quite disturbing and can imagine a migraine just looking at it. I like the way you have placed holes outside the face as well. I am not quite sure what this picture is saying to me but it is very arresting, and somehow familiar and strange at the same time.

In the days of yore? I think they still do that where i live now. Love the colours in this shot, but If I had as many holes as that girl did, I would probably go and live in a crazy golf course. Nice picture.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments! And .zorrofox, to answer your question, I wanted those floating holes on the background to represent the "pain/evil" that escaped after relieving the migraine. Even the color choices, as bright and beautiful as they are, would be incredibly painful to a migraine sufferer. You just want to be shrouded in darkness, with no sound, no movement. At least that's how I feel when I get them.

Thanks for the question! :)

I can SOOOOOOOOO relate! A migraine, for me...is like a small freight train...heated to red glowing point in a fire...then run thru my eye thru and around my head.......

Nice capture of a painful malady....and may you never have another migraine my sweet girl...
