LIFESAVER

A few years ago I took a basic B&W Photog Class thru the local community college
(LUV community colleges for these kinds of classes!!)
I did a picture similar to this for the "texture" assignment
The co-worker I used for this was so entralled with the end result,
she hung it framed on her wall at work
(it gets a lot of conversations going cuz it's an 8x10 tongue & lifesaver!)

Well she wanted one for her daughter (go figure)

so we did it again at work & I figured what the heck

Cool!

Guest		02-Mar-2004 12:36
I love this!

RodTO		29-Feb-2004 05:16
Great picture! Nice contrast between the tongue and the life saver, they seem very incompatible at that stage, don't they?

mikiruaq		28-Feb-2004 19:36
Very cool idea and well done :)

JD Anderson		28-Feb-2004 19:02
How much fun is this? Very creative and interesting! I may try one like this, if I can get someone to pose for me! LOL

jeanb		28-Feb-2004 16:33
I love this! That wall should have a much larger print than 8x10 though, and I prefer this shot because of lighting.

Guest		28-Feb-2004 08:24
Great photo. As said earlier in the UK these are Polo mints. I've always wondered what happens to the bit of mint they punch out inthe centre. Must be a market for mini mints. Obviously I have nothing better to think about.

Sher Hogue		28-Feb-2004 04:16
very clever idea...nicely done.

snootydog		28-Feb-2004 03:22
ewwwwwwwww.... this just has "cavities" written all over it. I'm with Lara... its freaking me out a bit. Nice lighting though. - liza

Guest		28-Feb-2004 03:08
Nice. Wonderfully shaded. Robin: yes, it's true.

Guest		28-Feb-2004 02:59
That's a cool idea! And a cool pic... I remember seeing it on the wall before.

virginiacoastline		28-Feb-2004 00:52
Jill & Jeanne . .you shold see what I have on my ceiling! Nobody counts holes in the tiles in MY chair . . . .evil little grin (actually that's false advertising . . I have neat things on my ceiling ^_~) Robin, that sounds like a good one for another PaD . . . I'll get my highly professional K-Mart desk lamp setup ready Thank you, hei an, for noticing & commenting

Guest		28-Feb-2004 00:41
haha, a funny idea and nice catch.

robin statfeld		28-Feb-2004 00:25
Very cool pic! I've always wondered, is it true that if you bite into a peppermint lifesaver in the dark, sparks fly out of your mouth?

Guest		27-Feb-2004 23:41
Love it! As always, something to smile at in your PoTD!!!

Jill		27-Feb-2004 23:04
LOL I can imagine going to my dentist..already the anxiety..settling in, leaning back and this in front of me..would not need laughing gas!!!

virginiacoastline		27-Feb-2004 22:38
THANKS MARK!!! I DID IT (he sent me an idiot msg about html) =D Yes, Chris, I believe they are . . a UK friend of mine from a few yrs back indicated as much . .I'm assuming he was right, but you know the old saying about assuming . . . .

Chris Brooker		27-Feb-2004 22:20
Great Image. In the UK we have "Polos the mint with a hole" are "life savers" the same sort of sweet?

Guest		27-Feb-2004 22:16
What a great idea and nicely shot.

Lara S		27-Feb-2004 22:13
For some reason. this is FREAKING ME OUT!

brother_mark		27-Feb-2004 22:05
I would never have thought of this! Very funny.

Guest		27-Feb-2004 22:02
This is great, was this taken in one of those dentist chairs where the light moves around, and the dentist moves it away from your mouth so he can get a closer look, but the light ends up in your eyes, and you can't see nor talk due to a dentist HAND in your mouth. Yep - I think it is, and no I DON'T HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH IT, I AM NOT BITTER!!! LOL

Jeff Gegner		27-Feb-2004 22:02
This is so odd--the show we are doing has the line in it "Would you like a mint?"

virginiacoastline		27-Feb-2004 21:45
BTW, It has been framed since I took the OTHER picture . . sheesh

virginiacoastline		27-Feb-2004 21:44
I tried to put a link to a picture of the office with that pic in it, but it didn't work. I'm HTML challenged. I haven't been issued a handicap parking sign for this disability yet, but I'm working on it

Guest		27-Feb-2004 21:40
Why does that look like the lighting in a dental chair to me? I think a big tongue on the wall's a pretty neat idea. Gets a lifesaver vote.

Guest		27-Feb-2004 21:38
Great idea for a shot! I can imagine walking by and seeing this on a wall at 8x10 and having to do a double take for sure! Like the lighting :)
