Title: Just had to share this...
Post by: Elenathewise on December 10, 2012, 16:00
I know I am avoiding work and procrastinating, but hey it's the end of the year, so join me:) Found this browsing though Getty collection: (http://cache2.asset-cache.net/gc/85573477-the-carrot-lady-gettyimages.jpg?v=1&c=IWSAsset&k=2&d=xZL1k0yjmkRxbTGGGjdWjpjS3%2fMelid4PvTZZIvrUT2Mf34xmKZ3bTxI7RrZwFaB)

Wanna come up with some titles for this one?  ;D

This is too weird, just searching for innocent terms "organic vegetables", here is another one: (http://cache2.asset-cache.net/gc/104626198-carnivorous-cabbage-gettyimages.jpg?v=1&c=IWSAsset&k=2&d=RO%2bXk6kdaK5d%2bps%2fXf2o9JVZ58lKxoAQN4jsACRC1AhbpHvmZHDEhtY8CayYkt15b%2bDMM9ZcaR8D2oYiS6abp9R%2bZmT%2fNxFAtEDUL%2f6EfdU%3d)

What would be the use of this one apart from giving me nightmares?  ;D

A strange visual metaphor for abortion, from the old thing of babies coming from cabbage patches?

I've never taken a photo like either of those, which is probably why I am not on Getty.

The lighting is impressive in both cases.

Fear of genetically modified crops? Like them both, attempting something different should be applauded :)

That's it!
I'm rubbish at thinking conceptually.

Yup I guess people that are ignorant in what gen modified stuff is can imagine horrors like that:) Didn't occur to me though. What about sad-looking woman with carrots sticking out of her nose and ears?  Any takers on that one? :)

@BaldricksTrousers - it looks like the cabbage one was just taken on overcast day; the first image is probably just window light with reflector.

Wow.  Real work of genius there! 

My caption would be "What's Up (your nose), Doc?" ;D

Alternatively, "The sad, unintended side effects of going vegan".

My husband came up with this:
"I fell on pile of carrots...."

Ouch!

Seems to me that when produce takes root in your nose and ears it's way past time to clean them out with a Q-tip.

I was hoping that was sarcasm.

Ouch indeed!

I just googled 'carrots in nose' to see if it had some special meaning.  Came across a joke:

A man goes to the doctors with carrots up his nose and celery in his ears and says "Doc... I don't know what's wrong with me!"

Doc says:  "You're just not eating right."

For the sad woman with carrots: "But I really thought it'd get the kids to eat their veggies..."

The cabbage is even more creepy. If anyone remembers Mr. McGregor from Peter Rabbit (http://www.gutenberg.org/files/14838/14838-h/14838-h.htm), if Beatrix Potter had gone in for darker visuals, it looks like something McGregor might plant in his garden to get back at Peter Rabbit :)

LOL @ jsnover.  I can see that!  ;D  (Awww... Peter Rabbit!  Blast from the past...)

I love the beta-carotene overdose comment too.  Good one grafix04!  ;D

Looks like the Statue of Liberty - just the carrots are pointing the wrong way.
