The first photo is a more literal one, sort of eerie and cool, that shows my hand on the oven grate. The scar is across my middle finger. I would probably highlight it somehow with photoshop.
The next five photos I would want to make into a Duane Michals series I think. The idea is that they're making fun of my lack of self awareness, which is the reason I get most of my scars. I'm so distracted by what I need to get done (in this case hanging christmas lights) that I put myself in dangerous situations. As the camera changes angles with each photograph, the reality of how ridiculous (and slightly comical) my actions are in the picture become clearer.
This is the first one. Hammer and lights. 
This is the second one. Me + hammer + lights.
This is the third. Chair +Me+Hammer+Lights.
This is the fourth. Bed + Chair +Me +Hammer+ Lights. 
And this is the fifth. Floor + Bed +Chair +Me+ Hammer+ Lights. I was hoping for this series to be slightly more comical and different, vs the one with the hand to be very harsh and demanding. I have some lyrics I would like to write below the sequence. And for the hand I'm thinking Barbara Kruger style could be very cool. Black and white with red border.
