Description

Hi people meet Oty, this is my little brother, the last of many (11 years old); i toke this shot at oxxyd's house with his Nikon D-40, in fact, the arm in the left belongs to hem and the person in the right is Juli, oxxyd's ex-girlfriend; i really like this shot because it's a very natural pose and i almost never have the oportunity to photograph hem, the idea was to try a background cleaning but i liked it like this.

So here is the story:
I wanted to do some shots of him because i never did and a year and a few months ago he had an accident, he was hit by a truck at 40mph and excuse me for the words but the "bastard" runnaway; he was brought back to life in the way to the hospital like 4 times, he entered in a deep coma for 5 days and against all medical predictions he woke-up, he had just a few fractures but one of theme was the skull so imagine how bad he was... He came out of the hospital after 20 days and doctors sayd it was a mirracle, he wasn't able to walk, talk, eat for a couple of months, now he can do all those things again but still having some speching problems,rehab is a very long process...
The day of the accident i was entering my house and he was coming out, he looked at me and sayd hi and i yealled at hem because we were like cats and dogs... Less than a minute after i heard some screaming and just start running, i found hem two blocks away and sudently saw me holding hes hand, he was lying on the road about to dye, never in my life i felt so guilty, i think that was my punishment for being such a bad brother...
Now days our relation has improved and i worthship every minute i see hem smiling.

Sorry if my story is a bit hard for you but hope you never have to go trough that to learn a lesson as i did.

This is dedicated to Oty and hope to see hem like this for the rest of my life...
