There is a message in this photo. Can you figure it out?

In a way, Ebbote. As I stood looking at these gumball machines, at first I was attracted to the colors and repetition. But later, during PP, I noticed how at first glance, they all appeared the same... but, upon further study, it was apparent that they all had their own little idiosyncrasies. One was a tiny bit taller, another had a slightly different flap and yet another a different prize to offer. And then, it dawned on me. They're like people! All of us look basically the same and yet we're all a little different. Different height, different nationality, different eye color... and yet, if given what is required.... we will all produce something of value for value given. This photo has become very special to me over the years and I often think of it during my travels .

That's good Dewey, I like the way you think, I was looking
at them externally without looking at the inside. That's the
mistake a lot of us make in life, judging people by their
cover without wondering or caring what that person is about on the inside.

Yes sir, quite true. I find that there's lots of life's lessons in just about every thing we photograph.... if only we take the time to REALLY look.

Don't leave your tongue hanging out. It could turn purple||
