 I made an image for camouflage but I was not pleased. It was too subtle. Of course, I could have made an image in which the spirit of the camouflage would have been present but not the camouflage itself. It is like saying I feel so good that I can fly with the birds, but really, that is more poetic than real. I decided to stay out and appreciate the creativity of my peers.

Well I continued my leaf bagging. We get these big bags from the city to put leaves in. Then a grin flashed across my face as I envisioned a bagged voter. Dropped the leaf gathereing and ran to basement for instant realization. I knew I was off the theme but the image seemed funny enough to go with it. I told my wife it would not go over 5.5 but I laughed all the way to the computer.

So, should we now call bagged voters "bagbodies" instead of bagheads?

Dan. I laugh every time I look at this.You did a great job on this one,any picture that can make people laugh like this one expresses good photography to me. Too bad it didn't place higher. Keep up the good work.

Hah! knew this was you, I'd recognize those hands anywhere on dpc :) Great idea, great execution, great fun! Who the hell cares if it's not literal camouflage! And look, you got higher than a 5.5! So Dan, the question burning in all our minds is: where did you get that freakishly large bag?!

Very funny. "Hidden during voting" would of been a funny title as well. So you're the one with the bag over your head that wrote "yuck" on my pic. I'm on to ya. ;)

I like this, it is really funny. I love the coca cola cans, that should make it a winner for sure on the dpc. Lighting could have been better, but still a great idea.

Nice job and cute! Now I know why my score's low...you need a real monitor and beer!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/17/2005 04:56:02 AM
I think this falls more towards bad disguises rather than camouflaged, but it totally cracks me up every time so I can't help but like it. :)

  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/16/2005 04:25:21 PM
