Feb 21st. 2019: Oh Deer

I had followed some click bait to a bunch of photographs, I think it was a British newspaper, but I’m not sure.
Anyway I saw this picture and thought it was cool so I downloaded it.
When I look at it I feel it’s a frame in a stop motion sequence and try to imagine the next few shots.
It could play out many different ways so make up your own scenario.



I figured I’d find out more about it by doing an image search... silly me.
Google image search, first up Nike All Conditions Gear campaign.

A bunch of links to the Communication Arts website.

On the second page(yeah, I’m a loser) Popular photography Image of the Year 2008.
https://www.popphoto.com/gallery/ima...ar-2008#page-7

Still no details so let’s try TinEye
TinEye gave me Russian sites, the Chive, Reddit, Imgur, Photo Magazines, and a bunch of Hasselblad links.
They went back to 2010 and many were 404s, but that picture wasn’t on any of the links.

Oh well, deal with it.

It seems unlikely that a guy was skiing fast through the dense trees at night without a light, taking jumps and what, got captured by a game camera?

Right, Nike grabbed that old picture of the deer and added the skier wearing their clothing for ads. Since the deer were taken prior to 2010, they're all dead by now so Nike didn't need to get them to sign releases.
Still fun to imagine the next couple of frames, skier smacks tree, skier gets a ride on a deer, skier's only in it for the doe.

The clapper I posted is one I loaded into the Cellar. If you quote my post you can see the address.

Oh, I'm special, all right.

Yes, I'm special - a behavioral or mental disability; low-functioning mental retardation in particular. Synonyms: different, feeble-minded, retarded.

As I said, the applause GIF was loaded into the Cellar, it can be used repeatedly by using it's address which appears when you quote a post it's used in.
Quote, open, copy the address of the GIF, and discard the Quote.

I used to say "You're special. In a Special Olympics sorta way."

It's quite un-PC, you know.

I have a "Special Bus".
