Record-setting photo...

Because I am interested in ALL things having to do with photography, I enjoy looking at www.photojojo.com to see what craziness it comes up with each day.

Here is my take on its suggested "Vinyl Head."

Obviously this is aimed at an older audience - Baby Boomers perhaps - people who remember vinyl record albums. That was even BEFORE 8-tracks.

To do this you have to have some old dusty albums sitting around and then choose one that has a large face to make the photo work. Try a few and see the unusual results.

PhotoJoJo also reports on a photo fad that started in the UK and now has spread everywhere - combining faces with currency.

This DOES require some skill with PhotoShop or similar software but the results are startling.

Brad Pitt meets U.S. Grant is a good example of a pairing.

Many samples are posted on the website.

Hmmmm. I have old albums but I don't seem to have a $50 bill.

What IS That??

Hmmm, so far there have been zero comments on photos I've posted from my recent vacation so I'll stop subjecting blog viewers to any more.

But...

While looking at the Walk Of Stars, the tour guide mentioned that when younger people saw this symbol, they assumed it was a cell phone. Radio performers from the past would wonder about that??

Apparently they had no trouble with the twin masks of comedy and drama that represents stage actors honored with a star and the motion picture camera symbol was loud and clear as was a tv with rabbit ears.


This familiar looking symbol, to them, was a CD or even a DVD, but what was that thing covering part of it?

Vinyl records are making a comeback so maybe it will make more sense to younger star-gazers along Hollywood Boulevard.

I thought the tour guide's comments were good observations.
