I took an Xray of a seashell, copied that on a lightbox with several blue filters with positive film, then scanned in the film.

In 1967 I was a passenger on a motor bike when we collided with a car on the highway. I received a compound fracture of the left lower leg with a bone coming out of the leg. A "nail" was put in to keep the bone stable while it healed. I wore a plaster cast for almost a year while the bones healed. I chose not to have the "nail" removed & can feel the head of it at my knee. This is the first time in 58 years that I have seen an x-ray of the leg with the "nail" in place.

Oh Bondage Up Yours -this must be one of the first mutual records of my then future wife and me - the big step of consolidating the records (and selling off the duplicates) was still a couple of years in the future.

an xray of my two shakuhachi flutes. the bore shape is clearly visible, as is the 'ji' filler used to build the bore up in places to the right shape. the top pair are the two halves of a 2.4 shaku flute, and the bottom pair a 1.8

my teef!

In the "dangerously cavalier use of X-rays" section, this machine was used for fitting shoes, at least in theory. You could stick your foot inside it and look into the eyepiece to see your bones. Today we're much more careful in reducing exposure to X-rays, so the machine isn't actually turned on and we can't see it in action.

An xray of my shoulder, taken on July 19, 2011. The pins were put in in 2006 to stop it from dislocating, and the one at the bottom has... come out :(

Xray of dads dislocated hip joint.

I ned to get an Xray done of my neck before my new Chiropractor will work on me. Fair enough.

I got gifted a superannuated imaging system, so I'm back to slinging x-ray photons for fun again. This is first light.

More to come.

Not my xray, but an illustration of what I did on my last motorcycle crash. That little fracture and a pulled ligament means I am on crutches with a cast that extends a foot above my knee. It's red.

I broke my left leg playing hockey.
