I don't know what is happening in either of these photos. BUT! I'm going to take a stab in the dark:

Top photo: Lost. Lost and gone forever that one with the wings. I think the ritual in the below photo is much like a vampire's bite OR a full moon. Once those bracelets are exchanged, only a steady 9-5, a financial advisor and benefits will be able to salvage that individual.

Bottom photo: OH NO! This photographer is one of them! Quick! EVERYONE GET OUT OF THE PHOTO PIT!!!!
