Following on from the 'Lost dodo' idea I'd painted the roadsign using the Tenniel Alice illustration as a guide and then went out to photograph it. I think it means 'beware of dodos' but what they could do to you, I am not sure - perhaps dent your bumper. Anyhow, this was taken in my pre-photoshop days, when everything was made for real. I took lots of pictures of this but the MDF I had painted the sign on was too thin and bent, so flat-on was the only way it worked. It's on a 6X6 format camera, but everything else was done on 35mm - and latterly, digital.
