Tea for terminator

Posted by Daniel & Jessica (Melbourne, Australia) on 3 July 2007 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.

What does this remind you of? Terminator 2? It's not. It's a specialised tea shop logo in a shopping centre. Jessica was browsing for books (YAWN) and I had nothing to do.

I can't stand how there are some bulbs that aren't lit up. Eight of 'em I counted. Why don't they fix it? If I knew how to use Photoshop I would fix it. Gee, this photo bugs me the more I look at it. Those darn bulbs should be fixed. It's getting on my nerves. I think I'm losing my mind. AAAAAAUUUGGGHHH.

I think I need therapy.

Very interesting shot and beautifully framed.

The wedding shoot was cool, it was an indian wedding so the main challenge was the skin tones. Let me touch them and build the album and i shall share with u pal. :) How was ur shoot ?

Those burnt out bulbs give it a little more character. Nice shot!

@June: Yea, it does. That's the reason why I captured it. Else it will be just any ordinary sign. Thanks for your comments, really appreciate it!

@NeGaR: It's interesting how two people can view the exact same picture and see such different things! I hope T2 is a popular TV channel and not the boring one!

Just think of the missing bulbs as adding character to your photo.
