Poison

I had an idea for a group of pictures revolving around a bottle of poison.
These are what ensued: Black and White images of something seemingly innoccuous that is quite the opposite.
I have many, many more shots of this idea that I haven't posted on JPG. And, honestly, I only am writing a story of this as I think the idea was awesome and artisitically head on, but few turned out to be JPG-friendly.
[For my shoot: I went to an antique store and bought an old medicine bottle. I took it home, cleaned it up, washed it. I got on the internet and found a skull and crossbones icon that I printed out and pasted to the bottle. I then filled it with OxyClean (the laundry detergent). I figured that'd show up ok on film.
I then took the bottle to people and places I thought were a bit out of place and shot with high hopes... So, here are the few that turned out well enough to be posted here]
