This is just stunning. It's simple, highly effective and sums up many aspects of everyday life. The shoe represents beauty that has been destroyed. The selotape, monotony - a product we use everyday, yet find no enjoyment in using. The health and safety sign (which I can only just make out) represents how we are controlled by rules and regulations. As for your friend, I feel he sums up beautifully how we all feel when things go wrong.

Technically, the post production on this is excellent - have you merged more than one shot, or was it one take? I also like the added Photoshop effects in the background, of which there are many. Great shot, and a fantastic addition to the site.

Have to agree with JD. Superb imagery. The retarded looking friend that sums up hopelessness, the tape that signifies us being stuck on this planet, the health and safety sign that controls our actions and the hamster destroying our goods that shows a world in meltdown. I realise that if I am ever to get a photo on the front page I too need to wait until next April 1st and put up any old crap!

Not another April 1st post?

There is always one - as they say - especially on April 1st - hopefully this is it.

This reminds me of other great work by Sofia Proll and Lil Faroop both came out in early April !!!!!!

Now a mock picture of a celebrity (insert your own irritant here)  lying dead on the street would be a good April 1st, but this is just bizarre.

Tee hee, bet you had fun putting that together.

Yes, alright, perhaps a tad bizarre ;) I did have my one day of fun, though...

One of your better pictures JD, in fact it's the only one we've seen!

OK, I admit it I fell for this one for a moment! The pay per post though didn't have me for a minute. Nice one!

I fooled for it, in the fact that I just dont seem to see art in the same way some people do, and thought this might have been one of those pics. That is untill I got to "the post production is stunning"

That trainer was, in fact, eaten by my hamster :( brand new, too.
