Serial killer delveries - photo  Greg Lumley

Okay so yesterday I was taking images at Cape Town Gardens as per my Cyril the Squirrel post when this bakkie (flatbed van) drives past with two “half mannequins” in the back, how could I not get a shot of this.

It’s not a great photo but it certainly is an interesting one, it’s Friday what can I say I’m ready to go out, relax and not feeling very creative which means that I’m having a hard time coming up with a caption for this one.

I need your help choosing it and there’s a pretty cool prize to… read on!

How?

Simple, using the comment box below enter the caption you think would work. In three weeks (Friday the 23rd of October) a panel will choose the best 10 or 20 captions which will then be put up for public voting to choose the best one.

Email it to your friends using the “mail to friend link above” or socialise it using the social bookmark links below!

You get:

  • A two hour shoot valued at R2500.00
    • A family portrait shoot (immediate family only) OR
    • A trash the Dress Shoot OR
    • An engagement shoot OR
    • A shoot with up to 5 of your friends
  • A CD containing at least 40+ edited images from the day

You don’t get:

  • To change what you get!

Terms:

  • Anyone can enter but if you win, you need to get to Cape Town for the shoot so I guess being from here is kinda better
  • If you win and you’re not from Cape Town you can nominate someone down here to receive the prize.
  • The shoot must happen within 1 Month from winning and is subject to my availability (we’ll find something that suits as both)
  • The type of  shoot  is listed above it’s not a mini wedding, advertising, event or any other shoot not listed above.
  • Judges – (that’s me!) decision is final (The power!!!) actually the final vote will be via the website so it will be you and your friends :)
  • You can enter as many times as you like but if the captions are weak I’ll block ya!
  • You agree to allow me to use one of the pics as photo of the day!
  • Images remain copyright of Greg Lumley Photography

Mannequin 1: “Do you think Greg is going to get some good business from this social-media-photo-caption idea of his?”

Mannequin 2: “I flippen hope so, the last time he made me do something like this I broke my toe”.

“I told you not to put all our money on red, but nooooo…”.

“I remember this one job I did for Speedo. I thought that was degrading, but Nissan takes the cake.”

“Hey Man, imagine how much money we’d save in speeding fines if we could photoshop the number plate off in real life”

“It’s not comfortable, but it sure beats standing on a spike 24hours a day”

I can’t believe we’re being replaced by a “more realistic” model! It only has half a head for $^%# sake!

“One day you’re standing proudly in the window with all the ladies looking at you, the next day your naked on your back in the middle of rush hour with a broken toe. That’s just life I guess.”

“My aura-reader told me this would happen.”

“What are the chances… we both stood on gum!”

“Pinch me please! I hate this dream.”

1. Did you hear about the two blondes who couldn’t afford the sunbed at the salon?
2. Did you say all over tan or all over town?
3. Barbie, how many sessions of these sunbed sessions have you signed us up for?
4. When you said you’d signed us up for sunbed session, this isn’t what I expected
5. The bakkie cost me the shirt off my back and now I can’t get rid of the feeling he’s taking us for a ride
6. The new Nissan hard bodies
7. The Nissan Hardbody proves again that it’s a great pick-up vehicle
8. I must still be drunk, it feels like your ceiling is moving
9. I don’t think much about your mattress but the view from your skylight is pretty amazing
10. Great bed dude, any chance you can ask the driver to make a stop at the bathroom?
11. So what happened to the chair I threw my clothes over?

Candice van der MerweNo Gravatar October 22, 2009 at 10:45 am

Can’t believe someone paid an arm and a leg for that bakkie!
