it’s an allegory for mankind’s relationship with nature. the fading sunlight is a metaphor for the uncertainty of true love’s longevity, the gold dress represents our obsession with wealth, while the panda reveals the whimsical yearnings of our collective subconscious.
no. there was just a beautiful woman and a guy in a panda suit chatting in the setting sun, so I thought it’d be funny if it looked as if she was going to give him a peck on the nose. such are the joys of phoot camp..
isn’t she? it’s Laura Brunow-Miner (see “people in this photo” to the right). Laura is the organizer of Phoot Camp (a place where princesses and pandas meet) and the creator of the awesome web photo magazine Pictory.

Hi, I’m Kristiano
I love this picture! It could be the cover of a childrens book!
I get the more deep rooted meaning of your concept…even if I look at this with my shallow mind and think it’s lovely to look at as well.

“Sick and wrong.”
it’s true. pandas are wild animals, and attempting to pretend to kiss them is extraordinarily dangerous. kids: do not try this at home!

boltron-
I can’t believe you photoshopped a Panda into Phootcamp.
sgoralnick
Nate: it was easier than photoshopping bikes into water. that must have taken you awhile.

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/boltron] Hey! I will NOT be photoshopped, thank you very much.
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/tienmao] Nope, a very happy panda!
