I dont get this comment, is this an attempt at being a smart alec?

I get it, it was funny! I think Benny was just crcaking a joke, rather than being a smart alec!

Interesting concept, I like it!

The tattoo design looks great.

Obviously it has a lot of personal reasonings behind it :)

Im with Rick:lol:

Did you make the photo?

It is quite intriguing if you did.

A Photographer makes a Photograph, which on one level is simply a copy of an Artwork, made by someone else.
But that artwork is located on/in the Photographer.
She then shows the Photo, to other Photographers . . . because the Artwork is now part of herself.

So on the next level, the Photograph becomes a Self Portrait and not just a copy of an Artwork.

what's the background ? did you like that brand ? and the rose I dont quite get - was that there before ?

I like the inkwork too

[ApolloLXII]

Great ink :th3:. Shows a real passion for photography. While I, too, can see the attempt at humour of Bennymiatas' comment, I also have to say that it's a bit lame. :umm:

I wanted a tattoo to represent my love of photography, while the brand isnt something I have personally, I really loved the look of the camera and tbh dont like the look of new camera's as tattoo's. So I was tossing up between this camera and the Canon AE-1 so took both images to the tattooist and we agreed that the Rolleicord would better suit a tattoo, the style of tattoo is "old School" so roses and dots and stuff are synonymous with the style, I gave him full artistic licence to create the design, the only thing I said I wanted was it to be in the sepia colours, but he could choose everything else. It turned out so much better than even what I had in my mind of what I wanted.

thanks for the explanation

Its gone way over my head, so I apologise for my comment, just dont get the humour!

[Roo]

inkwork is really popular the past few years, go figure, they look really nice on young bods, damn they look pretty awful on old bods.

[Bennymiata]

Please excuse my attempt at humour.
People who know me sometimes call me a smart arse, so I guess at least one part of me is smart. :D

Sorry, I should have used a :D after the post.

The tattoo is beautifully done and you can see it was done by a talented artist, as so many tattoos are poorly done, and I guess if you are going to wear it for a lifetime, make sure it's a good one.
The Rolleis were great cameras, and they certainly have a real "camera" look about them and will never date.

All the best! :)
