more of a cupboard than a coat by jantan

more of a cupboard than a coat

Decided it was about time I washed my disgusting old coat that I wear when feeding/mucking out the animals. Actually it used to be a very nice North Face down-filled jacket that one day I hung over a gatepost and later discovered lying on the floor with the zip chewed off (goats!)

I am ashamed to say that these are the contents of the pockets.
All I can think of is all that extra weight you were carrying!! Also like how the purple gloves have taken on the shape of your hands, : ))

Looks like you have some wild parties Jan :-)

The jacket must have huge pockets! This is a fun shot (and so true for those of us who work outside a lot!)

Great one! Don't we accumulate so much clutter in our pockets and bags!

Good grief! There are a lot of pointy objects in that coat!

@marisagaler I know Marisa, I quite often thing that if I fall over now, I'm probably a gonner!

LOL, Does anyone remember Mr. Green Jeans, he pulled all kinds of things out of his pockets.

@northy the hooky thing is a hoof pick for cleaning out the donkeys' feet.

How did you fit all this in your pockets? Haha too funny! I can't believe you didn't get injured by all the tools banging around in your pockets..!

WoW what an amazing selection of 'stuff' you had in your pockets... and a lot of it very essential......
My pockets are usually full of the very necessary tissues (cold weather sniff) doggy bags and doggy whistle... and often the odd carrot which I have overlooked when feeding the ponies....
Brilliant idea for a shot and you must be feeling a lot less weighted down now you have had a pocket spring clean... lol!! ♥

Wow! I thought my barn coat pockets were full, but they have nothing on yours! One autumn season when my coat was taken out again, I found a shriveled carrot in one of the pockets. -_-

This is great, and a fabulous idea for a photo. Can I just ask, what did you use for the white background? It looks like a studio shot.

@jackiew Hi Jackie, I just used some white sheeting fabric on a my kitchen table. The effect is mostly achieved by playing around with the lighting and contrast in Photoshop elements.

I must admit that if anybody had come round to my house while I was taking it they would have had a bit of a shock to see me standing on my kitchen table so I could get the camera directly above the items.

@jantan Thank you for sharing how you did it, I never would have guessed and the image of you standing on your kitchen table really made me smile! :-)
February 12th, 2012  
Haha... This is great! How did you ever get all those things in the pockets? I love the way you photographed the contents!

I live it!! There was a 'handbag contents' tag once but I don't think any ran to this much. Glad you're ok for gloves anyway!!
