It’s caption contest day! Hurray! You all know how this works: ponder the odd majesty of the image below and leave your best caption; next week I’ll present the finalists for voting.
Some images are just weird. Some you can tell were caught at just the wrong moment. Then there are the ones that you really, really wish you knew the story behind – this… this is probably the opposite of that.
I will start things rolling: “What? My ad said ‘Nude Photography.’ I am a photographer. I am nude. Stop acting so confused.”

When Alfred told Charlotte that he was a point and shoot photographer, she just prayed he meant his camera.
January 13, 2013 at 10:06 am
Ha. You get my vote.
January 13, 2013 at 12:29 pm
Awesome sauce!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Wrong. So Very-Nightmarishly-Indescribably-Wrong-That-There-Are-No-Adverbs-To-Capture-It-Wrong.
I vote for your caption, though.

“Now for this shot I want you to picture me naked…”
January 14, 2013 at 11:18 pm
Ew!
January 15, 2013 at 11:45 am
As a photographer, it’s funny some of the things that we will say/do in order to get a very specific expression out of the model. HA.
January 13, 2013 at 7:49 am
Wow! I can’t stop looking. I leave the site, I walk away and yet I return, repeatedly. *laugh*

This picture leaves my mind utterly blank…and I wonder if that’s maybe a good thing.
January 13, 2013 at 8:02 am
People often wondered why there were very few photos of Ansell Adams…
January 13, 2013 at 12:30 pm
OMG! That’s good , too! (Am I helping you, Byro?)
January 13, 2013 at 8:10 am
“Jack, when I said I wanted you to increase the exposure, this wasn’t exactly what I had in mind…”
January 13, 2013 at 3:08 pm
Ha!
January 13, 2013 at 8:23 am
“Fine, fine, you’re right. Your poses are much more interesting. Geez. Last time I play strip photography with you!”
January 13, 2013 at 8:24 am
And by “interesting,” I think I might really mean “cliché.” Jury’s still out on that one…

Adopting the wisdom of toddlers by closing her eyes to assume invisibility, Sally just kept chanting, “be the tree, BE THE TREE.”
January 13, 2013 at 8:59 am
Ok, so this took me a long while. Therefore it’s especially thoughtful:
“Yeah, yeah! Hug it! Tighter! I said, HUG IT!”
January 13, 2013 at 12:31 pm
I love this so much! IYKWIM. (B-man, listen to me!)
January 13, 2013 at 7:03 pm
Yeah, it’s fucking brilliant, I think. Thanks for the love.

A chance to capture a photo of a rare North American tree-hugger can come when you are least prepared to take it…
January 13, 2013 at 4:55 pm
Love it!

Some folks just need jewels in their navels to liven things up.

January 13, 2013 at 9:51 am
“Hey, hey! Camera’s up here, sweetheart.”
January 13, 2013 at 9:56 am
I have as much chance making it as a professional photographer as you do graduating in May, sweetheart…
OR
When Mom said I could get a class ring if I got the stripped-down senior picture package – she wasn’t kidding…
January 13, 2013 at 9:59 am
I was told that the photographer was outstanding but that’s little bit too much out and standing.
January 13, 2013 at 10:13 am
“Is that a camera on your face, or are you just pleased to see me?’
January 13, 2013 at 10:46 am
Yours is hard to top!
Mine is: I can’t look at you. Will you just put that thing way?
January 13, 2013 at 11:48 am
Oh Sexy Stalin, please come rescue me!
January 13, 2013 at 12:11 pm
Wow. I am at a loss for words on this one! However, I shared it with the modeling education group I moderate… they’ll appreciate it!
January 13, 2013 at 12:16 pm
That’s so funny – I’m working on tomorrow’s post right now, and it’s all about a modeling job. Educational!
January 13, 2013 at 1:19 pm
Sweet! I look forward to it.
January 13, 2013 at 12:24 pm
It seriously hurts to look at that. I don’t think I’m hungry anymore!

When Peter whipped out his long black camera lens, The Giving Tree decided she had given quite enough.
January 13, 2013 at 12:42 pm
“Take five. I left my telephoto lens in my other shorts.”
January 13, 2013 at 1:11 pm
When Sally said she liked wood, Hal knew he’d finally found the perfect subject.
January 13, 2013 at 4:54 pm
Oh. My. Gawd.
January 14, 2013 at 3:39 am
Hahahaha!
January 13, 2013 at 1:21 pm
maybe if i hide behind this tree he won’t see me!
January 13, 2013 at 1:34 pm
In order to blend with the natural surroundings, Demitri decided to eschew traditional lighting, relying instead on his ethereally white skin to illuminate his subject
January 13, 2013 at 3:12 pm
In order to calm her nerves about being a newly-discovered supermodel, Melanie decided to picture her photographer clothed.
January 13, 2013 at 3:14 pm
Submission #2:
Melanie quickly discovered the danger of walking alone in the Grecian woods. The natives were nothing like she’d imagined.
January 13, 2013 at 4:25 pm
The Greeks probably had a god of “Snack cakes and online gaming.” You never know.
January 13, 2013 at 3:15 pm
Submission #3:
“Who wears sandals in the woods?” Melanie wondered.
January 13, 2013 at 3:18 pm
Submission #4:
Melanie fretfully pondered what kind of lens Lars had stashed in his shorts.
January 13, 2013 at 3:20 pm
Submission #5:
While the camera focused on her face, she tried not to notice that his chest was furry, but his underarms were strangely smooth.

It didn’t take long for California based “Girls Gone Wild” Photographer Joe Scarbone to realize that his latest project “Girls in the Wild” shot deep in the Oregon woods, would not have nearly the commercial success as his previous project.
January 13, 2013 at 6:52 pm
After much consideration, Marguerite felt the camera feature was the sole redeeming quality of the new Apple iVlad.
January 14, 2013 at 2:26 am
Goodness, these captions are all stellar. How will we ever vote?
January 19, 2013 at 9:09 am
I know. I have to narrow these to 5 finalists? Yikes.

Mary-Jane didn’t care if her boyfriend was Spider-Man; Peter Parker’s photography career had taken a turn for the creepy.
January 14, 2013 at 11:09 am
Love this one! I will chuckle about it all day long… and every time I tuck my son into his Spiderman bed. Spidey will never be the same.

“Please take off those shoes immediately Rob! They make you look disgusting!”
January 14, 2013 at 12:54 pm
Mine is: “Nothing comes between me and my Calvins… well, maybe this tree and and a can of pepper spray.”
January 14, 2013 at 3:48 pm
Otto was just about to snap a shot of the tree when another beautiful young woman came running into the frame. That Speedo is a magnet for the chicks, man.
January 14, 2013 at 3:51 pm
Ernst wanted to be ready in case he had to raise his arm during the photo shoot, so he had his pits waxed. Sadly, he had under estimated the importance of maintaining the rest of the package.
January 15, 2013 at 3:19 pm
Angus invested some of his earnings from the Southern Comfort commercials in a nice 35mm camera.
January 15, 2013 at 5:31 pm
If I tell him the camera lense is on this will take even longer.
