Title: Photo opportunity!
Post by: madelaide on April 01, 2009, 18:09
Guys,

A person posted in another forum a list of images he wants to buy urgently.  These are very specific images for which he is paying up to US$400:

* a polar bear chasing/eating a penguin in the wild
* either ships or sailors of the Bhutan navy
* a tiger in the wild in Africa
* a boat or ship on the Sea of Tranquility
* aerial view of the coastline of Bolivia
* a view of Russia as seen from Alaska (ref: Sarah Palin)
* historical image of workers digging the Mariana Trench
* the Great Wall of China as seen from the moon
* soldiers of the Costa Rican army

More information here (http://www.googleaprilfools.com/).

Not too far, but I don't have any aerial images - it was too clouded when I flew over it.  ;)

que joia uma brincadeira, adeladinha  ;D

Usually I would jump at the opportunity to make $400US, but not today;
 I just signed a 500Euro contract to reproduce the cover of The Beatles White Album . ;D

I searched my photo database and found a picture of a Buthanese sailor riding a russian tiger, chasing a polar bear in a penguin costume with a Costa-Rican army knife, on the Great Wall of China.
Do you think I could make some money with it ?
All the Big 6 rejected this picture. Don't know why ?

ErikN, they probably thought that they already had too many of this image.

Actually, Bolivia has a navy but their only coastline these days is on Lake Titicaca.  They lost their seaport in a war with Chile in 1879.

Thank you so much Madelaide for the BEST APRIL FOOL POST.
If only every day were April 1, life would sure be one big jolly chill  ;D

btw, still on April Fool, methinks that Virus Scare is just that, an April Fool prank.

You JUST have to force polar bear to swim some 6 000 Km, or to catch one and to transport it to Antarctica ;D
