Art or humour, hard to tell. but it certainly sorts the men from the boys .... Maybe this is what my Mum always used to refer to as lavatory humour.

Hum, thats a blast from the past. These days its blue, or just plain crude, or common. Or all too common, depending on your point of view !

And I know keep your Canon with you at all times, but what were you expecting to photograph here !

Never-the-less a whimsical post; in the circumstances of hard lighting and lack of much space to work. Your 17-40 might have helped a bit; ( presumably you felt no need to take a macro lens ? )

Hi Rich,

Well, I don't think I've ever seen a picture of the interior of a gents' toilet on TE before, so I suppose this is a refreshing - or, perhaps, relieving - experience.

It is nice, however, to see the walls bedecked with posters of "what's on" in York rather than scrawled graffiti, and you have captured the picture in the very best of taste with some nicely subtle lighting, good colours and excellent depth of field and overall sharpness. I only hope you were alone in this place while wielding your camera or you might well have attracted some suspicion!

Quite different!

Kind Regards,

John.

Hello Rich,
I guess it's nice to have something interesting to look at in the restroom. :-) You present this space well, capturing the row of urinals with the posters above them. Hopefully nobody walked in while you were taking photos and thought you were crazy! ;-)
