Very funny. Love the photo.

Petrea, I left a response on Menton DP about focal B & W photos and how to do it.(ie where I highlighted the piece of food) It's so simple.

Hmm it seems obvious that Marley and I come from the same town.

This one was almost to easy - for me, not for you. I mean, it was begging to be a Zen Monday photo.

Altadenahiker had it: It's Macy's on Lake Avenue in the classic 1947 Bullock's building. They have a few historical pieces dotted throughout the store now. This bust struck me as being oddly placed, as is the gift wrap department. I didn't use that restroom, but John told me there's a labyrinth in there. It's clean, though.

Marley, as you can see, yours isn't the only mind that went that way.

Ted censored himself. He is a gentleman.

You are all brilliant. I was howling along with Virginia.

Just what is being gift wrapped in the chamber(s) beyond?
The statue on the table brings the phrase "heads up" to mind.

But never mind my mumblings; Altadenahiker's comments are exceptional. :>)

Excuse me, Miss H would like to know if Ted Thompson censored himself (which is charming) or was he censored by a rating software you have enabled on your site (also equally charming)?

Head and Shoulders, a head.

“Much like the tedious Piero Manzoni, I am concerned that this gallery is abusing Marcel Duchamp's concept of Readymades.

The gift wrapping is evidence of this excess.”

Looks like they have very dedicated Janitors at the place, shiny clean floors.

You mean that shine isn't water?

I imagine that bust has a motion sensor that triggers "may I help you?" every time someone passes by.

Okay, what exactly do they gift wrap?

Then again there's the saying "[censored] in pretty wrapping paper is still [censored]"

And yet...all destinations seem to the exit, which adds a whole new layer of meaning to the other choices.

2009-01-12T11:59:00.000-08:00

Why can't gift wrap use the same restrooms as everyone else? Should we expect a California proposition saying gift wrap has full civil rights, we just want to preserve the traditional meaning of "restroom?"

2009-01-12T10:27:00.000-08:00

I can't wait to find out where you shot this photo. Original art, sparkling floors, pristine walls, antique furniture - my guess is a museum.

I guess it gives new meaning to the phrase, "Let's wrap it up in there."
