When I asked a friend to go with me to my butcher’s for a photo shoot, he was immediately excited.I had named the shoot, “When will we meat again ”Big zinc bathtub, flashlight and stacks of celluloid and, oh yes, a bottle of evaporated milk!”
My 4-year-old daughter had to come along too because her school was free.Off to the butcher.Do you have hot water for the bathtub? Yes, take it from the big kettle. As the model undressed, the bathtub filled with hot water and greasy stains. Which we quickly covered up with the coffee milk…. Works perfectly!
Meanwhile, my daughter put on her bikini and picked out bath toys.In the background we hung half a pig on the hook for decoration. My daughter presses her finger against the half beast and asks the butcher: “Is he dead?” The butcher answered: “he,he,he”.
The butcher meanwhile goes back to his work and the model into the bath. And says to me: man man, this is the most beautiful pig I have ever had here in the tub. Meanwhile I was worried whether he will not cut his fingers by this distraction.
A little later the butcher said: this is something different than all that cold meat in the tub! When determining the composition that I had thought up beforehand, I knew, this is the shot I wanted.As a thank you we gave him an enlargement on which he is standing with the model. This he put under the counter with red ears.
