This gallery is a complete chronicle of my 40th year, starting on my birthday in 2008. I posted one photo each day for a year. The photo-a-day project continues in this gallery here.
April 27, 2009; Day 360.
Don’t Try This at Home.
My friend Dale saw my fisheye appliance photo series and liked it enough to write and encourage me to go further with appliance photography. He said, “Create the kind of photos you’d want customers to see on your website if you were in an appliance business.” I may be paraphrasing, but he was deliberately vague with the requirements. For now I’m looking at it as an assignment in creativity rather than a commission. Ostensibly, though, if the creativity matches anything he’s looking for, we could be in business.
This is an attempt at appliance humor. “Leave the appliance repair to us!” “If you think you can do it yourself, you're brainwashed!” This is me modeling as a clueless but resourceful homeowner thinking that he can fix anything himself. With a quick change of clothes (something more like a uniform) and a generic logo on the toolbox, I could easily be the "you get what you pay for" low-bid appliance repair guy.
And folks, if the closest part of your body to an ultra-wide lens is your butt, well, you asked for it.
