No, it's not one of the extras from the film "Babe". It's just a plastic piggy bank that a colleague keeps on her desk.
When confronted by a male chauvinist pig, what’s a bloke to do? I took the only option open to me. I reached for my camera and shot him - in the most humane way.
Would I focus on his snout? Naaaah. I decided to focus on his black, beady eyes, to show the reflection in each of them.
Maybe I should have adopted him. That would literally have been a case of bringing home the bacon.
Check out the rules at Camera Critters or go to Misty Dawn.
You? Photograph the obvious? In a pig's eye!
ReplyDeleteThis little piggy went to market?
ReplyDeleteAh! But did you put any cash through the slot in it's back?
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE little piggies! I am always reminded of Wilbur in Charlotte's Web :)
ReplyDeletewe are seeing rather tragic footage on your brushfires all the way over here....
ReplyDeleteYes David, I know all about the feeling of wanting to shoot a pig ;-)
ReplyDeleteThey're evil!
Although, I must admit... the one in your photo looks rather harmless. I don't think it would hurt too bad if that one ran me over.
Haa! Funny post!
ReplyDeleteHe's just a sweet, adorable guy. And if he has any money he's even more attractive ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping into my little corner of the blog world! Any and all input would be greatly appreciated! This is the first time I have written anything it's been quite the learning experience, and so much fun learning and developing the characters! Hope you come back and read some more! French;)
ReplyDeletevery cute! hahhaa!
ReplyDeleteVery funny!
ReplyDeleteI love the joke and the piggy. LOL Thanks for making my day start off with fun!
ReplyDeleteThat must have been an expensive photoshot. :) Oink Oink!
ReplyDeleteYou probably could have "cured"him in your heat wave!!!Sandy
ReplyDeleteI'm never boared with your critters.
ReplyDeleteYou could have shot him from the other end :)
ReplyDeleteI played too :)
cute piggy ^_^
ReplyDeleteMy entry for CC this week : in HERE. Hope you have time to visit . Thanks
Great beady eyes.
ReplyDeleteHope the brushfires aren't too close over there.
This really made me snort!
ReplyDeleteHilarious!
Classic case of pork barrel spending.
ReplyDeleteOkay, it was weak, I know... but all the good ones were taken.
Come on now, don't pre-judge. Just because his nose is big and his eyes are beady, does it necessarily have to follow that he's a chauvinist? He might very well be a perfectly nice little pig.
ReplyDeleteWith this economy a piggy bank is definitely a necessity. Is it the coffee fund?
ReplyDeleteCute shot!
He looks like a curious little pig.
ReplyDeleteSqueak piggy, squeak! Now I would have just snapped it and not given a thought to eyes or nose; that's why you are a professional and I'm not.
ReplyDeleteDavid: What a fun capture, really entertaining.
ReplyDeleteSo you were hamming it up with the camera....those eyes, I can see right into his soul.....
ReplyDeletePoor piggy's wearing braces! ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun and playful picture! Hey, thanks for dropping by! I'm sich a big fan of Brian Lara, maybe I'll blog about it sometime, but you may be the only one to have a clue who he is! lol!!
ReplyDeleteLOL
ReplyDeleteThat is a great post!But I don't see any reflection in that pig's eye....
ReplyDeleteLOL @ Pouty.
ReplyDeleteThat little ham is the cutest pink plastic porker I've seen!
What Hilary said so well! Ditto.
ReplyDeleteHe appears to be wearing a rubber band, is that some sort of gang thing?
ReplyDeleteWhat would you say to a real live male chauvinist pig?
ReplyDeleteI love how your photographs capture the unexpected in very ordinary object.
ReplyDeleteCute picture, David! Maybe we should fix him up with the Piggy BBQ grill I saw last weekend that had eyelashes! ;-)
ReplyDeleteSheila
cute piggy. :) come on by and check out my cows. :) I did have to do some post processing on them...but I was glad to salvage them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun photo, love your little piggy.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! The only way to shoot a pig.
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteCute piggy bank!! Great shot!! Have a great day!!
Sherrie
LOL, you couldn't have shot him in a more humane way if you'd tried. You're very welcome to visit my entries, here and/or here.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great weekend!
Good One!
ReplyDeleteI hope after you shot him, you dropped a penny into his slot
ReplyDeleteFound you over at Carolina's blog - I had to come over to check if you'd posted about the fires! (I live in NSW.)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, for this post I'd like to say...
I love this kind of take on the Camera Critters theme! It's surprising, yet interesting when someone chooses to post an inanimate object. I've only been doing cc for 5 weeks - and most posts I've seen are "actual" animals. Just shows Aussies have great humor ;)
"I reached for my camera and shot him - in the most humane way." is a very funny description!
Made me lol- shot him in the most humane way.
