Here’s the thing about photography: sometimes, I take pictures to capture and keep moments in time. Sometimes I take pictures to tell a story. Sometimes I take pictures to show how beautiful the world is.
And sometimes, I take pictures purely to entertain myself. This was one of those times.
This is on a parking garage. I love the warning sign. Hello Captain Obvious! It makes me laugh every time i see it, and it’s hard to tell the scale from the photo but look at the size of that sign compared to the door. It’s practically SHOUTING! I can’t help but wonder what mishap led to this gigantic sign being erected. And the fact that it’s just a wee little bit open – it just makes the whole thing perfect.
I think this one now ranks a close second to my all-time favourite sign photo, a sign which sadly no longer graces the dam beside Watson’s Mill in Manotick:
I’ll be over here snickering if anybody needs me.
I’m so glad I’m not the only person who does this. I keep promising myself I’m going to collect them all together into an album. Somewhere I have a picture (I hope!) of a donation jar on a bar that was collecting for “artificial limps”.
