Type sample - closeup of grave marker

An interesting type sample - decayed / weathered type on a sandstone grave marker.

Some of the original grave markers belonging to the first settler's of Wollongong are displayed on a memorial wall. The cross hatch shadow in the photo comes from the steel mesh cage protecting it.

TEST POST from Flickr.com

Stacks of naked nymph and satry-like models.

Connotations of floating, weightlessness, sex, cleanliness, innocence, virility, beauty, youth.

Note the uniformity of skin tones.

Clever photography.

A sample advertisment from LINE magazine, Issue 01 Spring 2000.

LINE magazine is a lifestyle magazine with an emphasis on Sport, Health, Travel, Equipment, Fashion (from the cover).

The setting is a gravel beach with an old fishing boat . There is a fishing net and several other fishing related pieces of old equipment lying around. A man and a woman hold signs up covering their faces. The woman is in the foreground. She wears a white dress with a high visual contrast to the rest of the image. She is positioned closer to the camera and draws the most visual interest. Her sign is a photograph of a shoe. The male figure holds an sign with the text "IMAGINE" written on it.

I find this interesting because neither of the models wear the shoe in the image. Their faces are covered. The scenery is somewhat exotic - perhaps Africa or Europe somewhere. (It isn't an Australian beach!)

Perhaps if you were walking on that gravel beach it would be nice to be wearing that shoe.
