Wow, this photo is a classic! Another one of those that stopped me in my tracks.
The hamster is so cute and looks really … clean. Or maybe pure. By that I mean that it’s fur is just about perfect for this shot with it’s stark use of color. Most of the photo, including the hamster, looks like it’s black and white, offsetting the color coming from the Heineken bottle.
There are a lot of hamsters out there that just wouldn’t have fitted in with this shot. This one does so perfectly, wonderful fur, great marking and the shine in his eyes just sets it off.
I actually stumbled across this by accident, searching for images of those new electronic pet hamsters, called the Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters. It’s looking like my kids may be needing some of the Zhu Zhu Pets range around Christmas time. Personally, I’d rather go for the hamster in the photo (along with the Heineken!)
Anyway, I’d sort of forgotten this site for a while, and stumbling across this photo reminded me I need to post here more often.s
