Photographer Graham MacIndoe has, over several years, captured intense moments of one man’s heroin addiction. His own. In an interview with his girlfriend, who had left him at that time, he speaks about how he slipped into addiction, how he got out and how the self-portraits came about. Well worth your time.

From Weekly Filet #153, in March 2014.
