Making Amends via Stock Photos

Stock images are a simple way to make your message clear and concise. And thanks to the diversity of available content on most stock photography sites, nearly any message you can think of can be illustrated. Today, we would like to bring former rivals together and unite them as friends using only the power of stock photos.

First up, the Frankenstein monster and fire. These age old rivals have had several run-ins over the years. It especially got heated when Frankenstein made the audacious claim that fire was not good, saying "Fire . . . BAD!!! Ahhhhh!".

His concerns do seem valid, as he mostly knows fire from the torches of angry mobs of villagers. But Frankenstein feels in his heart (or whoever's heart that in is there) that he may have misjudged fire. He had this to say, "Me think fire . . . eh, not so bad, once you get know him. Me think misunderstanding based on early childhood trauma and me project feelings onto fire. Also, Frankenstein Monster have daddy issues. Ahhh! Smash!"

He went on to express regret over the many s'mores he has missed out on. They aren't really the same with unroasted marshmallows. We are happy that we were finally able to bring these two together.

While this may not have been the most enlightening thing ever written, it does help us illustrate that stock photos can accommodate almost any concept. Consider that next time you get an idea that seems a little bizarre. There may be images out there that will help you get your message across.
