Order my art prints here!
Straight from the camera. Haha, got my first contact with the police
while light painting! I was shooting in the field right next to my
house, so I figured I could take the sword with me without wrapping it
in a blanket, but when I walked back to my house a police car came
after me questioning what I was doing with a sword, creeping through
the fields! Well, I guess I had it coming, I must've looked a bit
suspicious, lol! :D
Also check out flickr user Schlaich's photostream, he has some of the most amazing light paintings with a message!

Cheers Hobsonish!
Yeah, Finnish Police are usually quite okay, they do have some humour too! When I showed the photo to them the other officer just commented "That's quite a lot of dead bodies!", haha! :D
I think that was quite cool of them, considering they meet a guy dressed in black carrying a kitchen stool, a huge sword and a bag full of odd devices lurking in the field at 11 pm, smelling like beer (a guy has to do something while the camera is processing), lol!

Hmmm, a football match between lightmen and skeletons... That's a good idea! Thanks Chukos!

This is a perfect example of why I love checking out your photos, this is awesome. The detail in the skeletons is so impressive, and your shots are mini stories. I'm not liking these new guys coming in and killing off fancypaints and his friends, so I'll have to stay tuned to see if they get their revenge. Maybe they can beat them at football, fighting to the death doesn't seem to fit someone named fancypaints, although next time I bet they'll be ready now that they know skeletons have swords. I had a lightman Skull face with a wooden sword I don't think he could take these guys.
That's a great story with the Police too, having the Police look at your camera and say "That's quite a lot of dead bodies!" and let you leave with sword in hand, that's funny.

That's a one hell of a work right there! Skeletons look stunning, really nice design. What an encounter with the police :D Love the title too, somehow reminds me of Judas Priest :)
