Sexy :: Saintly

I didn’t manage to get a photo of these two posters side-by-side in our street before they peeled off and fell to the ground in a soggy mush.

It was quite a striking juxtaposition.

Still, by the “miracle” of Photoshop …

Thank goodness they never met wearing the same outfit.

FYI the original and far more impressive photo of the Pope, by AFP photographer Gabriel Bouys, can be found here, with the story behind the image.

    The Gabriel Bouys photo is great.

    It looks a bit like an Anton Corbijn, the guy who does all U2′s photos, amongst other things. He goes for all that moody iconic rock posturing too. But you already knew that, I’m sure.

    Yes, I think so too.

    Not sure if you’ve noticed, but I’ve sent you an email. If you’ve not got it, it means I got your address wrong.
