Tony Davidson, a creative director at ad agency Wieden + Kennedy, has a one-track mind. And apparently so do many other people. He's collected photographs of objects from around the world in a new book titled just that: One-Track Mind. From Creative Review:
Some of the pictures are obvious - two fried eggs make an appearance - but many are so subtle, to the untrained eye at least, that they require real scrutiny. It is this that stops the book falling into being yet another sexist cliche, and is likely to make you look at your surroundings in a new light...

After deciding to make the book, Davidson began searching for breasts in earnest, and got many friends in on the act, whose photographs also appear in the book. He also decided to interview men about their opinions on this part of the female form and these quotes are used, with comedic effect, alongside the images.

    I like the piercings and chains on the second picture. Have I seen her on BMEzine?

    I hope they didn’t forget San Onofre nuclear power plant…

    Not quite the same, but along the same thinking, http://www.crackproject.com. Submit a photo of your butt and you might become famous.

    “As he stared at her ample bosom, he daydreamed of the dual Stromberg carburetors in his vintage Triumph Spitfire, highly functional yet pleasingly formed, perched prominently on top of the intake manifold, aching for experienced hands, the small knurled caps of the oil dampeners begging to be inspected and adjusted as described in chapter seven of the shop manual.”

    Volume 4 will be “Goatse in all its Glory”

    It is this that stops the book falling into being yet another sexist cliche…
    How, exactly? I’m far from offended that someone’s decided to collect hundreds of pictures that obliquely look like breasts, I’m just a little disappointed that the people involved think it’s somehow removed from the plethora of titillating (har, har) plastic boob novelty crap out there.

    I must have a different-track mind – I see both the above pics as eyes. The black ones are sort of like Homer Simpson’s eyes. The red one just looks like crying eyes, and that little part at the bottom looks like a sad little mouth.

  • Sekino

    Should we be watching out for volume 2: ‘Things that look like butts’?

  • hukes

    Rorschach inkblots are nothing but breasts to me.

  • Earth Man

    They should nip this one in the bud.

    I’m always more impressed with the collections of natural tree pr0n on flickr:

    Volume 3 would be “Things that are Longer than they are Wide”

    TOGTFO.
    I am not a t*t man, per se. For me, it’s all about the curves. You see, nature abhors a straight line, and no more than in the female form.

  • midknyte

    Damn! Mackenzie beat me to it
