Not The Nine O'Clock Nudes

Must Be The Emperor's New Clothes

No, look again. They're not real nudes. It's just an advertisement on the side of a tram - and I shot this picture about 30 minutes ago. I noticed the tram while I drove through Caulfield and while I was at a traffic intersection I shot three frames through my window. Then I turned off, parked in a side street and sprinted to the tram stop. Luckily I fired off a test frame - because I then realised my memory card was full. I swiftly cleared a few images as the tram drew up beside me. To me, the real touch of humour in this shot is the head of the real-life passenger above the painted body on the side of the tram. I'm so glad I always carry my camera with me.
