i simply love the New Yorker cartoons…i suppose we all do…and many of you know of their cartoon caption writing contest…in that spirit i thought we should have a Burn caption writing contest…for the picture above ….photographed by my friend Medford Taylor probably 25 years ago, but which i am seeing for the first time today….
yes, that is me in the red shirt …and shot just a few miles from where i coincidentally now live…
so you have 24 hours to write your caption for this picture…normal programming resumes tomorrow…stories will be back up…
prize?? of course…yup, one of my many camera bags as usual…well, i gotta get rid of ‘em somehow….judge: Chris Bickford our surfing expert and the only person around here to judge….
put your caption right here in comments…..and by tomorrow at this time i will give you the real caption..
…dah…
Caption: Green Titanic!
Photojournalist Blues: Disregarding Jim Morrison’s sage advice, photographer David Alan Harvey chooses to keep his eyes on the subject, his hands upon the camera.
Gulf Coast residents kill time while waiting to fuel up their van.
“Please shoot fast, i’m getting tired of picking my nose.”
Quick, now lay down and strike a pose, think Sophia Loren or Marilyn
Monroe, I just love how the wet weather beaten green background plays against your bright red shirt.
Quick before I rescue you do you mind posing for a photo
Wonderful darling. Hold that pose while I grab some more film from the van.
Enjoying the photoshoot so much, David entirely lost track of the time.
Oh! Jenny………… laughing
July 24, 1985 Hurricane Bob forces local photographer to get high
Only joking Jenny but it was too good to miss, gotta have a bit of fun between all this fighting amongst ourselves……….
sinking van captures true spirit of photographer….
