In case none of my wilder ideas come to fruition, I'm in for now with my reserve shot. I bet none of the expat kids went to see him . .

Glad you think it would sell R - I thought it might be a bit of a lemon - well oranges and lime anyway  . Or should a say a bitter lemon?

Bitter lemon goes quite well with gin, almost as well as tonic, so let's keep it at that.

And I'm sure it would sell.

You should freeze it in a boxshaped container filled with water, making sure it will be in the middle and not on the bottom. Once it's deeply frozen and you have a good thick layer of ice all round it, you can take it out on special occasions (dinner parties, weddings, exhibitions etc), and display it for a while, on an attractive drip tray, before refreezing.

Make sure some guests send some pictures to a national broadsheet, and the internet and hey presto: world famous!

I decided to enter this one.

Strange Fashion Ideas.



'Bee' socks and bright yellow laces have their place, but I don't think this is it.

You asked for strange ideas and you got strange ideas.....Please don't show the children, it might scare them.........



My idea was very strange indeed (and I am beginning wondering if I am strange too...). The idea was a portrait, with the face distorted beyond recognition, by the model wearing elastic bands. Strangely, no one would model for me............

Are we into Gimps or just head bondage?

A Snippy Snap of Snappy Snips.

A bit of a Spoonerism for this title.



Since he was a schoolteacher I always though Dr Wooner was a spanker!

Good to see such a broad range of shots 

Determined not to rely upon post processing to insert or overlay strangeness I'm in with Bending Light!



Taking this aspect in reality into account; An arrangement in variable heating introduced into camera equipment will bend the light counteracting and compensating for all lens distortion.      I wonder which company will bring the first ones into the marketplace      Who knows, someday all cameras may have fish eye lenses as their standard lens Alan

Well I think mine is almost normal compared with some of these amazing strangenesses.  Mine's a simple cheese sandwich, left n the seats of the tube station.  Forgetting something is not particularly strange, bit it was the idea of balancing it neatly on the arm of the chair and then forgetting it that I found strange!
