And, as I remember, you did your training nearby, Geoff. But ... This is more than an image. It's a picture. The sort of picture that might keep me awake at night. The sort of picture that makes a lot of other (stock) pictures look so boring and bland. Ten out of ten. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mitchell Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 This is why the people in my neighborhood should consult with an English speaker before ordering that costly neon sign. With its large ESL population, Vancouver has a lot of signs like these. A produce store near where I live sports a brand new awning with a sign announcing that they sell "Fresh Vegetable." However, they don't specify whether the vegetable is a carrot, an eggplant or a zucchini. I've been meaning to snap a picture of it. Now I feel inspired.

John Mitchell Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Guess I'm a bit late with these. Contemplative trolls, ridiculously expensive handbags, and fishy sunsets -- August was a weird month. BTW, all photos were taken with one of those silly little NEX cameras.

Ed Rooney Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I think I had a lunch date with that girl in your first picture. My favorite neon sign in my hood said: "Sal's Professional Removal of Freckle." He was my barber and he knew I had worked as a copy reader. And he talked to me nonstop in a mix of Italian, Sicilian and English. But he never asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Sal is charging by the freckle, he must be a rich man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulstw Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 For me it was this one. I had the image in my head, I grabbed two flags, and walked a long to the venue of the 2nd independence debate. There was only 4 guys hanging about and I asked them to help me out with this shot. It's something I've never done before but pressure to get something better than a shot of a building drove me to it. All the other PJ's where there looking at me and what I was up to.

Paul a moot point - and it may of course have been deliberate but your "models" are holding the Union Flag upside down. Used to indicate "distress" - hence why it may have been intended or indadvertedly appropriate ;-) It is also "lese Majeste" (which means: insulting the Crown), and is theoretically still a crime in the UK.

spacecadet Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 A red arrow for asking someone to delete an image of the Union Flag upside down? Really? Some things are important. Give me another for this, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Here's that other 'mistake' sign I mentioned. Sal went totally out of business a few months after I snapped this image, and I'm sorry to say he has since passed on.

Quick thinking tp produce a memorable shot. Did you know that they have the Union flag upside down, a symbol of distress? Might affect your keywording. Edit: Sorry, didn't see the similar comments. Still a good shot, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this picture the slot for the hoisting cord is clearly on the right, not the left, so the flag is being shown the correct way up. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Compare the alignment of the white Saltire in the Union Jack with that on the Scottish flag on the right. The broader part is above the corner by the hoist on both. It is the right way up.

Paulstw Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Quite right. I'm on a hair trigger with all this separatist nonsense. Sorry, Paulstw. Absolutely no reason to apologise. I had no idea there was an upside down rule on the union flag. Worth noting for future. Crikey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
