Sometimes you just can't take things too seriously.
I had an assignment once where we were given a handful of words and needed to photograph something that could be described by that word. One of my words was "parody". Almost immediately I knew what I wanted to do. Off to Walmart in the wee hours of the night searching for a "baby" double and some silk flowers. The end result was my Anne Geddes parody.
This photo amuses me quite a bit. Elliott on the other hand, is completely creeped out by it. I guess it falls into whatever valley he spoke about once. I have wanted to do a series of baby double poses and hang them around the house for laughs. Gallery style! Probably not such a nice thing to do to the man I love but I would get quite a chuckle out of it!
I can see how this would creep him out. You have to do it, and hang them in the new place! :-)
ReplyDeleteWrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong...
ReplyDeleteNej, the blue ones she had are even worse...at least the warm lighting is tolerable, if only slightly less creepy.
Oh, I meant to mention: we don't have room for the plastic baby in the moving van, you'll have to leave it at the curb and post it on Craigslist.
(hehehe)
ReplyDeleteWrong? Maybe.
Funny? Heck yes!!!! :-)
Lori, do you have the others posted somewhere that I can see. Curiosity killed the cat and all. Now I must see the blue ones. :-)
LOL! I shot this same pose a few different times and I had the camera's white balance set wrong initially so they came out blue. That's funny, I totally forgot about those!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to pose the baby in and around all sorts of things...baskets, watermelons, drawers, etc... Elliott didn't want to have anything to do with it. Usually he's so supportive, I just don't understand... (tee hee)
Oh, and Elliott, I will be sure to have the baby safetly packed before you get home. In a box. Somewhere.

ReplyDeleteIn a box...somewhere.
ReplyDeleteA woman after my own heart. Hilarious! Elliott, you just never know what box it will be. Could be the kitchen stuff, could be your sock drawer. (evil laugh)
