Mannequins delivery


I came across this truck delivering mannequins on the boulevard des Capucines (2nd arrondissement). I jumped off my motorbike, grabbed my camera and started shooting! The delivery guy was really amazed but I ended up talking to him and he was very friendly. The funny part is that I already photographed this exact same scene two days ago but due to a bad setting of my camera (remember it's not my usual one) I couldn't use the photos. Have a nice week-end everyone.

  2. It's like a headless orgy. Bizzare!

  3. LOL Jeff! I did not think of that.

    And LOL the bold soul. It's pretty accurate (Well, from what I have been told by my headless friends of course...)

  5. Eric said..."I jumped off my motorbike, grabbed my camera and started shooting!" Gee Eric, you sure put your whole self into making this blog! Unlike those in the back of this truck.

  7. Rather creepy! I'm always interested in the pictures you can make with mannequins. I found an amusing shop window display in Lille a month ago.

  8. I totally agree with The Bold Soul. My first reaction when I saw this photo was "orgy of body parts." I also loved the photo of the delivery man, and very much liked that action-packed narrative surrounding the taking of this picture: "I jumped off my motorbike, grabbed my camera and started shooting!"

  9. I think this mannequin photo is amazing! There's something creepy about seeing them without their heads.

  10. It's so funny! What exactly is going on with those mannequins on the left...especially the upside down one?! I tried something like that once - takes a lot of stretching to warm up beforehand! :)

    Bon weekend, tout le monde!

  11. This is a great shot...in a rather odd way!

    I like the fact that you were given a 2nd chance to get your picture. :)

  12. Funny shot, Eric, I like it ! LOL, Jeff! :)

    But, Eric, remember to be careful not to jump into traffic when you take pictures for us :)

    Passante, your window display is totally funny! Still laughing! Thanks for sharing with us! :)

  13. As you said on my mannequin shop post a while back - you are a big mannequin fan. Well done! I love the way you seize the moment.

  14. It's like a shot from the TV Show "Nip/Tuck"

    Great one Eric!

  15. edwin: looks like the guys on the right got a little too much nipped out of them, maybe, uh? ;)

  16. Headless orgy ... that's what it looks like. Very amusing! Nice shot Eric!

  17. Eric, it's so good you got a second chance at this shot! Don't you just hate when a photo doesn't turn out. So disappointing. Nice to get do-over opportunities. I wonder what sort of "the fish that got away" stories photo bloggers could tell? :-) I think these guys could find some colored feet to help complete themselves if they looked back in your archives. . .
