It has been nearly a week since I asked all readers of this blog to find a new, more fitting photo to accompany our debut blog post (8/6: “This Magic Momentum”). The response has been pretty strong. I’ve received photos from genres near and far.

On one end of the spectrum, from a colleague I got a great set of Henri Cartier-Bresson photos (the “father of modern photojournalism” and publisher of The Decisive Moment, a portfolio of images of, well, decisive moments — apropos I have to admit). Compelling images and great art to be sure, but they didn’t nail it for me.

On the other end of things, I also received a great collection of awesome photos taken during some amazing personal vacations around the World, as well as some great events here at the office (some of which can’t be posted on this blog!!) Moments all, but again, not…quite…there.

There was one, however, that did the job. It came out of left field. And this is what’s great about going to work every day at an ad agency: someone is always thinking a bit outside the box. The image is well-known to most — a classic and pop art at the same time. It’s at once frightening and innocent (and fun to look at). It pays off the concepts of both “moment” and “momentum” See it here on top of our first post.
