Artsy Kilt Pics

**CMcG** · 19th April 13, 04:46 PM

I ran across a photo today that got me thinking about artistic kilt pics. Not your regular type of photo documenting an outfit or an event, but a photo that looks like it could get framed and hung in a gallery.

I'd like to invite the Rabble to share any photos that they consider "artistic." I write that with the full understanding that everyone has their own tastes and could have very different ideas about what would or could make a good, artistic kilt photograph.

Here's the pic that got me thinking:

A Scottsman and a Bass by Gavin Mills Photography, on Flickr

I then poked around a bit more and found this one, From FotoFling Scotland:

Our very own Panache's photo would also qualify:

The F.-H.C.A.G. is the only person I know of who casts a Technicolor shadow.

I have to say that the photo of the dancer from FotoFling is quite amazing in all respects - fabulous - except.......that scrawny leg all the way up to the hip.....way TMI.... ruins the whole photo IMHO!!

To be honest I was so entranced by the fanning of the pleats I hardly even noticed that. I hope you're not too scandalized

Agreed. My favorite is Jamie's for its use of color and B&W representing modernity and THCD.

Very nice, ThistleDown. I could see any one of those lovely vintage photos in an ornate, old school frame

Thanks for those grand old pics.

Looks like Compton MacKenzie has chicken legs, too. A rather severe physiognomy for one who wrote with such hilarity. I suspect he was "putting it on" - the corners of his mouth trying hard not to smile give him away. Did you see him as Capt. Buncher of the S/S Politician in "Whisky Galore"?

Try this one for 'chicken legs', mookien. There is a painting from this photo in a private house in Perthshire; I would love to have it!

Rex: More like tree stumps I would guess. I'd like a blow up of that picture on my front door to discourage burglars and salesmen. Under it I would write in bold letters something like ..."This house protected by Little Ian - Robin Hood's closest companion". He almost looks as "bad ***" as Riverkilt wandering in the desert.
