Hey Bill... wild image. What lens did you use and, please excuse the novice nature of this, but how did you "frame" it so to speak in the scan?

The lens used was a 24mm f2.8 AFD Nikkor, a sharp and contrasty little gem of a lens. I made the print on an Omega D5500 color enlarger, the 35mm negative carrier of which has been filed out for that raw, full frame look.

I see I have a lot to learn about photography. This is brilliant. At first I thought it was a picture of some washing powder but then I saw the bigger picture and the surrealism made my brain all confused until I remembered that in America they think that bigger is better and it is quite within the bounds of probability for them to make a very big plastic box to promote their products. The realisation hit me like a sledgehammer. You know, like when you are stuck in traffic on a Friday afternoon listening to Capital FM wishing the M25 had another three lanes and that people wouldn't be so inconsiderate as to crash while you are trying to get home to your wife who has a big box of this powder and will lovingly clean your underwear because you had a bowel movement when the sledgehammer landed on your lap. The thing is, if guys are fantasizing about their wives and big blow-up plastic things like this, what oversized objects are the girls thinking about in that traffic? You never can tell, with girls.
