Our lecture on how some pictures are special because they were taken at just the right angle, or at just the right time, prompted me to post this image of an insanely creepy looking Easter Bunny. I'm sure that with the bunny's head tilted slightly upward, the costume doesn't look like a rabbit with evil intent. Or maybe the person who designed the head for this costume just really didn't take into consideration how creepy their creation truly is. In either case, I couldn't help laughing while looking at this image.In my own experience taking pictures, it has often been the most unintentionally funny pictures that bring me the most laughs. Whether it's a person who was talking, and their mouths just happen to be at a weird angle when captured on film, or a blink that makes them look like they are stoned, it is often hard to pose a truly funny image. I imagine this is how the paparazzi get their AWFUL pictures of celebrities; if you keep following someone and continuously take pictures, you are sure to get an image that appears to have a meaning or theme that is way out of context.
Well, if I can get to sleep after seeing this, my dreams are going to be interesting, to say the least.
ReplyDeleteGreat discussion. I think one of the unfortunate things going on here is the tilt of the rabbit's head, which emphasizes the sinister aspect to its eyes.
I agree about the paparazzi. Although I think it's equally true that when it comes to things like a magazine cover, we don't see the 499 bad or only so-so images; just the best photo.
