Title: the mundane yet unusual
Post by: Michael West on January 05, 2022, 12:27:20 pm
This image is the second photograph of this same "scene" that ive made in the last six months. Its somewhat timeless in an odd sort of way in that The water droplets behind the protective plastic cover over this DVD movie poster... have not changed one iota in that period of time.

I will endeavor to locate and post the other shot for comparison.

The droplets really make the image.

ndeed..the pster behind the plastic cover..holding the bubbles in place...was the first of the series to catch my attention..and oddly enough the only one which had a subejct that benefitted by the presence of the droplets.  the poster is not a particulary engaging one.. in and of itself....is it..

thus far I havent been able to locate the older capture of the same "scene...

  This was a campaign placard for someone running for..local Waterboard,  which had been left out ..on its back...in the rain. another case where the secondary "material" ended up being the primary focus of interest

if the party ever decides to run again we will have to "talk" about the campaign image...

That would be a great way to advertise your "Waterboarding" services.   ;)
