Untilted

I think this picture is kind of ironic. We can see a poster which specifies that "Prices may be higher in Manhattan", in the same time, "No Solicitation" and, a smiling Ronald McDonald.
I put the background in black and white in order to emphasize the absurdity of this picture... or rather, the absurdity of the situation, of what people can see and what a big company can do.


I want to underline the 'Higher Price' and 'No Solicitation' while you have a Ronald McDonald who's here to welcome you. You can't bring your pet with you, you can't enter if you don't have shoes, you can't smoke.


You CAN'T do what you want but you CAN, you have the right, to pay more than the regular price... such a good advertising ...... And the question that we can ask is : "Is this Ronald McDonald there to quickly remove those posters ?" ...

Wow Margot, these are the kind of pictures that fascinate me more than the ones that are just plain beautiful.
Ronald smiling in the back and the text in the front, with busy Manhattan's reflection. This says so much!
