Static non-powered objects with FACES #40: A boat expressing an emotion
Spotty forehead. Sobbing blood. Monobrow. Lost his nose in an unprovoked acid attack. Has just read a comment on Facebook and is not sure if it is happy news, sad news, or a bit of both. Like, his ex-girlfriend has just said she’s getting married next April and he needs to pretend to be happy for her and not at all bitter.
This wouldn’t have been considered a FACE before the internet came along, but thanks to the rise of the :/ smiley face to symbolise some sort of emotion we are not privy to or capable of expressing, it is now 100% facial.
“I saw this old rusty boat on holiday and I thought of your web site. I’ve been wanting to contribute since it was Idiot Toys but I’ve never found an interesting battery and I seldom come across interesting pictures of attractive oriental women. Erm… that came out wrong. This boat had been hauled out of the water and was awaiting a respray. The line of the paint, with two portholes above it, made a meh
expression. I have no idea if the EXIF data is retained in the attached image” – Jamie.
THE EXIF DATA, SEEING AS HE BROUGHT IT UP:
Nikon D80, 2592 x 3872, 1/125 sec exposure, ISO 100, Center Weighted Average metering with no flash.
