Have you heard the saying, Weathering the Storm? What you see has little to do with storms although this lifebouy has sat through some. Exposure to high heat and humidity for long periods of time has WEATHERED this lifebouy. Dirt and mold has layered itself on this lifebouy. It is hard to imagine putting it over my head and about my body in its current condition nevertheless if the need arose the thought of cleanliness probably wouldn’t be a concern.

I like the monochromatic look of this, and I agree – the mold would be the last thing you cared about if this was thrown to you to save your life.

Thanks Gisele believe it or not there is just a slight levels adjustment done on this one. Of course how many colors can dirt and grime be?? LOL.

At first look I wasn’t too interested in photographing this because of the ick factor; glad I changed my mind – it is cool dispite the grunge.
