Vitamin Pink



I'm sure that vitamins are for women. I'm not trying to be sexist here, but I really don't understand them. For example, if I need vitamin C, I'll eat an orange. Or a kiwi. Or maybe drink a glass of orange juice or something. But not ladies. At least, not my lady. No, Tix is proof of this, peering at the vast array of, I have to say, very colourful bottles. I think she is interested in the pink label vitamins. And before you say it, yes, that does look pink to me. For me, and I think I speak for most men, Pink represents a whole spectrum of colours that women are actually capable of appreciating, like fuschia, salmon, magenta, rose and possibly even mauve, although I have my suspicions that that last one doesn't really exist.

On another subject - look at the bottom row - there are some HUGE bottles down there. I've always thought those bottles must be for men. Weight gain? Muscle generating pills? Call me sexist, but they sound like Man Pills. (Incidentally, I have always wondered if those massive bottles have really big pills inside them?)

Composition: I like the way the shelves colour is sharply contrasted with the stark black coat: 
Pose: The leg pose is good, but I was a little late with the button on my rubbishy old phone. A second earlier and I'd have had the perfect pose. Sorry chaps, it's only a 

Nice 'n Easy

Sometimes we are looking at the products, but sometimes I have a sneaking suspicion they are looking back at us. It's not often you get to take reflective photos - and this almost started a "mirror phase" for me - but there is a lack of mirrors in most supermarkets. I'm striving to get a shot reflected from one of those smaller supermarkets which have mirrors in their produce aisles, presumably to reflect a bit more light onto their genetically modified tomatoes to make them shine a bit brighter, or to make it look like their shelves have twice as much stock on them.

Pose: Can't really classify this for pose, because it's just a reflection: 
Composition: It's almost good...
