the bridesmaids and the dog

Every bridesmaid needs a tripod!

looks to me like a gun! hehehe!

DO NOT ENTER hehe

the bridesmaids and the dog by i.chant.bean.

I'm so glad I had my camera on me. there was a wedding taking place at grace cathedral, and this was by far the funniest thing I've seen in a while.
The bridesmaids have so much attitude in their 'pretty in pink' dresses, and the woman and her dog are just oblivious to the pack they're leading across the street.

What a juxtaposition that you've caught! I assumed it was staged until I read your caption. One of the funniest and most interesting photos I've seen. Hilarious.

Tee hee. I love it. I noticed that one of the bridesmaids seems to be a photography in her own right too: she's carrying a tripod.

i like the way that bridesmaid is pointing:
"follow the dog lady!"
"hey she's taking a photo of us!"
"THERE's the church!"

amla says:

yea cool photo, the person with the dog looks really familiar,the foto works well for the contrasting gender images, the butch/androgynous dog walker and the extra femme bridesmaids. it's as if the femmes comin from behind is symbolic of the constant pressure that women get to act and dress like 'women', alright i'm getting theoretical here, i'll stop

This is sooo surreal....very Dali-esque!!! ..... the horde of bridesmaids in pink, the do not enter sign, and the walker and her dog. (^_^) It's almost as if the woman and her dog were pasted onto the photo. A fave!
