Thanks JAS and Iggy!

Nice one EdG!

Here's mine and I feel it needs a back story so here goes. I have a very strong practical joke side to me and a friend of mine has very sensitive skin on her hands and fingers. Her skin is so sensitive that it gets raw when doing simple tasks like flipping through a newspaper. So she often wears finger cots AKA finger condoms. They are normally boring beige in colour. A few months ago I was surfing on a gadget site and I saw bright pink finger cots. I thought it would be a hilarious joke-gift for my friend. But when they arrived, even though they are meant for fingers, they are obviously meant for other play with fingers...because they were ribbed. Ok then here's my shot.

OMG that's hilarious! perhaps they were meant for smurfs?

what's even more interesting is that you kept them.....

Thx bambi! - OF COURSE i had to keep them when I got them, I knew one day I'd photograph them.

Wow. I haven't posted here in a while but this topic caught my attention (on Facebook.) Here's one I did a while ago that I thought was pretty cool. The model is a friend of mine and I had just bought a flash remote so I could take the flash off the camera.

That is freaking hilarious Marko.

Here's my second attempt, obviously I've not cut the grass in a long long time.

Thx Richard!

Jason (jmayoff) - I quite like that classic sidelighting portrait! Since you haven't been here in a while (good to see you!), maybe you feel like trying a fresh shot for the assignment. That's what most of us try to do, shoot fresh stuff for the assignments. There's no hard and fast rule though and we appreciate your contribution!

Richard - I like your take on this one, interesting angle as well.

The month is still young, members should feel free to post multiple shots to this assignment if the feel the inspiration.

As the keltic guys would say; "This is a wee bit funny"

I don't know that the phrase 'wee bit' should be used in the same thread as condoms jokes.....
