Spoofs and pastiche

Reproduced with permission - © Ian Sergio Bramham

Exif:

Camera

D40 which he's only had since November (he didn't know what a camera was until a month or two before that)

Lens

Nikkor 70-200 2.8VR (only joking, to fit one of those Ian would have to remove his trusty weapon of choice, the sigma 10-20, he receives a fraction of a penny every time simga sell one of these as most people buy one after seeing his images - so Ian is a very wealthy man)

Location

Morecambe Bay is a large estuary in the Northwest of England, just below the Lake District. It is noted for fast rising tides and treacherous quicksands. Most of Ian's photography is of Morecambe Bay as he is all a-leone stuck up to his waist in the sands. His family meet him daily to feed him and replace the batteries in his camera.

He posted the following image a few weeks ago, but seemed to have missed of some type. I commented at the time that I enjoyed the Sergio Leone and sent him this pastiche, or is it a spoof?

Very cool... Ian's pictures have something very dramatic to them, don't they? How come you decided on a spaghetti western, and not - let's say a gangster movie?

Oh, and you might want to correct that typo.

Ian's pic had that wide open space feeling with the cowboy town in the distance and some great railroad type structure to the foreground. Besides, I hate gangster movies, the whole lot of them - but I rather like spaghetti westerns.

Is there one - I'm rubbish at proofing things like this?

I came close to commenting on this on flickr. Not sure why I didn't - I'm always a sucker for spoofs. Nice pair of fonts, its the bit people always get wrong.

As for spelling, I could have stared at that all week and still not seen it. Looks like its there to stay as I'd have to recreate the whole thing to fix it.

Both the above really well done, and great pics.

While in the subject... Anyone remembers the time tunnel?

Ah well, that prog doesn't have a spell checker - though that wouldn't have helped in this case. Could I claim I was using the american spelling? I could use some convoluted excuse such as it was a british pastiche poster of an italian remake of a japanese classic typeset in spain using german funding and an american computer.

Okay, I like all of them - including the Time Tunnel which I DO remember from its original run (does that date me?)

BTW - with spelling errors, you can always claim you were spelling phonetically... covers just about everything ;-)

It is very nice of you to bring attention to this fine art.

"The Time Tunnel" was fleeting, temporally speaking. It ran one year in the U.S., during the 1966-67 season. It was an Irwin Allen production in which, for some reason, we apparently built a secret time machine "tunnel" and tossed a couple of strapping young men into it. Basically it was an excuse to mine the 20th Century Fox costume drama film archives for action footage, which was then spliced into some new bargain bin material.

If you have a mind (or even better if you don't), watch the whole craptastic series streaming, like time itself, for free here:
