Shoot That Poison Arrow
Mark Menzies
Taken for Iron Photographer 23.
Here are the elements for the project :
1 - something liquid
2 - a weapon
3 - shot in a noir style
This also doubles as a homage to the band ABC and their great 80's track 'Poison Arrow'... The album that this appears on 'The Lexicon of Love' has to be one of my all time favourite albums.

Here are the elements for IP 23:
1 - something liquid
2 - a weapon
3 - shot in a noir style
I think something liquid is pretty self explanatory. We're talking about a fluid state of matter. We don't care what the liquid is...water, whisky, watermelon juice, it's up to you. We don't care if it's in a free state or contained in something so long as we can see that it's liquid.
The second element, a weapon, is a tad trickier. A weapon can be anything that could be used to hurt somebody. A knife, a letter opener, a wrench, a garrote, a small nuclear device. Again, you get to decide.
The final element, that the photograph be shot in a noir style, is purely stylistic. You can find a dandy little wikipedia entry on film noir here. You needn't follow all the classic noir traditions...you don't have to shoot in black and white, you don't have to include a dame in seamed stockings, you don't have to include a shady guy in a big-shouldered trenchcoat, you only need to keep generally to the noir tradition.
