Weekly Photo Challenge

Mr. Fantastic was a little late on our deadline, but dammit, his photos are so good, we’re going with a supplemental edition of our Weekly Photo Challenge. I also spaced out and didn’t include my best ‘red’ photo, even though it’s my computer background at work. What can I say? I’m a dumbass. Enjoy, and take some photos of forks for next week.

This week, we turn our lenses to the color of passion, anger, blood, warning, courage, and sex. That’s right, this week it’s red! Andrea found a sexy car and a classic billboard, Sarah reaffirmed her love for San-Fran, and I found a guy working hard in the Texas sun.

 

Classic - Andrea

 

 

Hard Work - Aaron

 

 

Hard Work Detail - Aaron

No Parking - Aaron

 

That last picture would be so much better if I knew how to make the tail-light also come out red. I’ll have to crack down and learn some more editing, but for now, I like that shot. As always, click to embiggen.

Next week’s theme ingredient is … “fork”. Sounds like a lot of possibilities, not least of which might be food porn. Send your submissions in to wackcaption at gmail dot com.

One of the reasons I slacked off the last few weeks is that I’ve been sick. No one likes being sick. You feel like the barest shade of yourself, like the a ghost in your own home. I get home at the end of the day, drape my jacket on the back of my desk chair, and hope to sleep. I’ll be glad when this passes. I’ll be glad when I can drape my jacket on the chair and still do something fun at night, with a clear head.

Chair - Aaron

While I’ve been struggling, Mr. Fantastic watched his family crush a chair, and the mother of all wheelchairs.

 

Collapse with Laughter - Mr. Fantastic

WTF Aaron

Sorry I haven’t broken the camera out lately for the weekly photo challenge. I swear by my sweet can that next week we’ll be back on track. To make it up to you, let me introduce you to Parry Gripp. He writes ‘songs of the week’ which are … well … imagine a lollypop, spun out of liquid adorable, and hand-delivered by Kate Beckinsale AND Elizabeth Banks.

Here’s two of my favorites, Funky Gerbil, and Shopping Penguin. Enjoy.

In place, enjoy this .gif of a dancing otter. HE’S SO HAPPY.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Zipper!

September 17, 2010

Zippers are everywhere. On shirts and jeans, shoes and boots, bags and parcels and tents and diving suits. Whoever invented the simple zipper surely made a fortune. Except he didn’t. Elias Howe received the first patent for an “”Automatic, Continuous Clothing Closure”, but couldn’t figure out how to market it. Sewing machines were so ubiquitous, [...]

Weekly Photo Challenge – Week 10 – Bicycle!

September 9, 2010

Bicycles have been around for a long time. Caesar rode one across the Rubicon. Jesus rode into Nazareth on a donkey, but the donkey was on a bicycle. Early bikes were based on the physiology of dinosaurs. English bikes had huge front wheels because that crazy groin stretching was the only genital stimulation Victorian gentlemen could get. Maybe [...]

Green: the color of money, of lust, of nature. Of jade and frogs and spinach and most of all, green m&m’s. Supposedly geniuses gravitate to it, as well as horndogs, proving that some men do think with their johnson. This is a variety of takes, hope you enjoy. As always, click to embiggen.
