5 Cows
It always boggles models when they first go into the studio and the first thing they see are five cuddly cows. They think we have a weird cow fetish going on…..
The truth is much more mundane, I’m afraid.
Tucows is a software download site, which lists all the latest business and personal software. We list our own (day-job) software product on Tucows, and with each new version we have to submit it to the Tucows reviewers, who charge you an arm and a leg in order to review and rate it. Instead of giving it several stars, they rate it according to cows. So the more cows you get, the better the software.
About 7 years ago we received our first “5 cows” rating, which is the highest award you can get. So I celebrated by purchasing 5 cuddly cows for Rich, as a reward for all his hard work.
Now they live in the studio.
Most nude photographers appear to do a “series” with nudes and often very bizarre objects, for example fish, chickens, celery, or bits of furniture. Now I know photographers often get stuck for ideas, and want their photos to stand out and be memorable, but FISH???? I don’t begin to understand the reasoning behind it (promotional work for the Fish Council maybe) but it seems to be thought of as trendy and cool.
So maybe Rich should do a series with 5 cuddly cows…. Whaddaya think?!
I kind of bullied Rich into taking this, so apologies for the quality of this image (not the photographer's fault!)
Unfortunately, this is not an erotic pose or a decent photograph, but balancing 5 cuddly cows on you is actually harder than it looks. Methinks this will make a good test of flexibility, balance and poise for models in future!
