The true subject of the image is not in the photo. The discarded syringe is a metaphor for the individuals who have abandoned their dreams and may very well be in the process of discarding their lives.

This photo was taken with a Sony A-6000 with a Sony E 50mm f1.8 OSS lens, set at f2.4, 400 ISO.

The intent of this image is to tell the story of dreams and lives lost to opioids such as heroin.

Powerful composition. After viewing this yesterday, it weighed on my mind overnight. Being the current opioid epidemic that has affected many of us, this is a thought provoking piece that epitomizes abandoned dreams and lives lost.
