Fashion Plate

We're Really In Our Salad Days

Photograph copyright: DAVID McMAHON


I do enjoy framing incongruous images of any description. My attention was drawn to the strong colours of this larger-than-life poster that took up the side of a building in the city. Notice anything about the model's dress? It's made of salad leaves! I took one frame and then spotted the smoker coming down the short flight of steps. It was too good an opportunity to miss, so I just waited for him to walk into centre frame - and then I hit the shutter.

Just read life's comment, lol, I think everyone welcomes your gentle nurturing spirit! Although blogroll sounds like a type of coarse bread to me.

As for the picture-Ever go to worth1000.com? They're a photoshop site and one of their contests is 'alternate' dresses. There works are pretty cool and this reminds me of them. (BTW, they also have a good photog section).

Anyway - the look on the models face is so carnivorous, in such contrast to her outfit! Good shot.

All she needs is for someone to pour the vinaigrette all over her....

That is, by far, right at the top of FREAKIEST THINGS I HAVE EVER SEEN.

Seriously disturbing imagery. Good thing I already hate salad. Because that'd put me right off them.

Hi Victorya,

If I have a gentle, nurturing spirit, you can thank my parents for the upbringing that I was so lucky to receive.

Love the coarse bread observation.

Will check out the photo site. Thanks for that

Cheers

Hi Bart,

You hate salad? How can a bloke who grows such beautiful azaleas possibly hate salad?

Cheers

Loved that shot David. I'm waiting to see what happens when the lettuce wilts and falls off.
