All you need is a pretty girl... (aka Sex Sells)

Sometime this summer, Jay and I took a respite near the window of Slainte in Fell's Point, cooling off with some tasty brew and probably watching soccer. I was playing with my camera and took a few shots of Jay's bottle of beer with a serendipitous background.



I think that would sell a few beers, don't you? Here, take another look:

I think I like the second better than the first. In the first, I like that she is clearer and her beer is visible, though it would be better if she were drinking Yuengling as well. But the second seems to show a connection which brings anticipation and excitement. (In reality she was sitting down at that moment, not getting up, and there was no connection to speak of, but that's my little secret.) I guess in the end which picture to use would depend on the copy for the ad.
