If you happen to have a friend or a loved one who works as a photographer then we’ve found the perfect gift for them. These photography mugs are a quirky way to let them enjoy their morning coffee even more. Printed on both sides of the mug is the phrase “I Shoot People. Then I Take Them Into the Dark Room and Blow Them Up”. If not for the camera icon in between the phrase, one would probably take the message differently. But for people working in the field of photography, it’s a hilarious ways to sum up their everyday lives.
Those who haven’t seen a film camera before probably wonder what a ‘dark room’ means. Well, photography has now gone digital. And no one really uses a film camera nowadays. But for the sake of enlightening the modern generation, a dark room is used to develop (process) photographic film. As the name implies, the room is made completely dark to allow light-sensitive films and photographic papers to be processed. Lastly, the term ‘blowing up’ in photography means to enlarge photos.
So, the label printed on these mugs has nothing to do with brutality or any violent stuff. Shooting people means snapping photos of people, dark rooms refer to darkroom photography, and blowing up simply means resizing. No harm intended unless you take it the other way.
These high quality mugs are custom imprinted by using sublimation inks to produce vibrant labels that will not fade or scratch. The mug is made of premium ceramic and is available in 11oz and 15oz sizes. Plus, it comes in a gift box making it perfect to give as a present to your photographer friends.
