i fell in love with katy's @grammyn squash when i saw it and i knew what i wanted to do with it. no, not eat it as i don't like eating squash. but when i do have it once in a while, i cut them into quarters and steam them. then i eat it with a pat of butter and some brown sugar or maple syrup.
but that's not what i wanted to do with it. the way it's angled, i thought right away of tommy ingberg's photo of a man trying to keep a giant shoe from crushing him. as i didn't want to blatantly plagiarize his work, the squash was a wonderful stand-in.
LOL! Of course! I just love it. FAV. So clever made my photo so much better!! Your inclusion of your shadow is the perfect attention to detail to sell this as believable.
@jerome - my stories have been published but in collaboration or anthologies with other writers. it has been suggested by quite a few people that i should have my stories published along with my photographs. considering it sometimes but maybe not a lot of people would be interested in buying it. there are others who are better writers and definitely much better photographers than myself and they don't get the same encouragement which is a pity. for now, i am happy being admired by people i admire here on 365. thank you, jerome. you are so sweet.
If you put together a book of your stories and images, I would most certainly buy it. But I would want you to sign it. The squash in danger of squashing was an excellent idea.

Do you actually write books? Your great stories should be published together, illustrated with your pictures.
