The Top 10 Greatest Stock Photos Of Umbrellas Of All Time [APRIL FOOL'S]


Today is a special day. Today we will begin the newborn Blog of MUSIC by looking at the greats. Yes, we're picking out the best of the best, the top of the top, the cream of the cream, the ultimate of the ultimate, the greatest of the greatest, the kings of the kings, the coolest of the coolest, the

That's right, today we are counting down the Top 10 Greatest Stock Pictures Of Umbrellas Of All Time!

Now, I've had a lifelong adoration for stock umbrella pictures over the past few hours, and today, it's time to give the medium its ultimate tribute.

Why? Because they're awesome, that's why. Let's begin.

#10. Beach Umbrella Royalty Free Clipart

Now, this comes in at #10 because as you can see, it is indeed a stock image of an umbrella, yes, and therefore it fits the criteria and to me, that makes it worthy of landing this high on the list.

#9. Group Of Umbrellas

Now, what make #9 so interesting is that it's not just one umbrella, but nine umbrellas. As you can see, that clearly took a lot of effort and a lot of creativity and technical prowess to make work without seeming forced, but man, did they pull it off. This one is just oozing creativity, as you can see they actually made one of them into a fish bowl, and that alone puts it here because fish bowls are awesome.

#8. Holding Umbrella Stock Image

Now, I love about this one is the way it utilizes the color orange. See, the creator of this one was originally going to make it green, but her higher-ups demanded it be a different shade of green than the one she wanted, so she made it orange instead in protest and released it anyway as a stunning display of creative freedom, and that's what makes this one really impressive.

#7. Open Solar Photovolatic Umbrella Stick Concept Photo

Fun fact, the umbrella featured in #7 was actually designed by famous stock photographer L'D'Angelico LaBornes DeHaglenglakkhen, and that's a badass name, so he obviously deserves a spot on here.

#6. Umbrella Stock Photos, Images, & Pictures | Shutterstock

This is no average stock umbrella photo. As you can see, it was designed with very minimalistic shapes, giving a very raw, real and yet abstract and obtuse appearance at that. The sheer recidivism of this piece only emphasizes its perspicacity, making it cromulent yet also quite prosaic, and that's why it's here, for being so flabbergastingly eloquent in its stipple, picaresque ebullience.

#5. Umbrella Stock Photo Images. 83,559 Umbrella royalty free pictures


This image isn't actually very good at all. In fact, it's so bad that it actually isn't on the list, so let's just move on to #4:

#4. Alamy Stock Photo

Fun fact: this was actually the first stock images of an umbrella ever taken. You can tell because the model they used is an old one, one of the first prototype models of the umbrella in history, in fact, dating all the way back to 2004. Now isn't that interesting?

#3. Umbrella Stock Photos, Images, & Pictures - (115,428 Images)

Now this one here, this, it's just a classic. Everybody knows this rightfully famous gem, so let's just move on real quick.

#2. African-American Businessman With Umbrella Stock Photo

Now, what makes this piece so stunning is its utilization of a person. People were actually frowned upon for appearing in stock photos, especially ones with umbrellas in them, until about 1776 and the American Revolution. Since then, it has become somewhat more acceptable, but there are still people out there who believe we humans have no place being in stock photos, and you know what, that isn't right. We need to stand up, show our pride, and prove that we should be allowed to appear in whatever type of picture you like, because this is the United States Of Fucking America God Damn It (TM) and we should be proud of our royalty-free photos and associations with such.

That rebellion against such an oppressive, regressive system is what makes this piece truly stand out, and it may be one of the most important pieces of art in our history.

What could possibly beat it?

Ladies and gentlemen...

#1. Stylish Purple Umbrella For Protection Against Sunbeams

So, what makes this so special that I declare it the greatest of all time?

It's purple.

Purple's my favorite color.

That's it. That's the only reason.

Important Blog Update [APRIL FOOL'S]

Hey, guys. So, as you can probably tell, I haven't been very active on this blog in the past few months. Since the 2015 Year-End lists, yes, the blog has been on a long, unannounced hiatus.

But why is that?

Well, to be frank, I feel like I've just lost interest in reviewing music. Music just doesn't get me as excited to review as it used to. The passion's just kind of faded, unfortunately.

Fortunately, though, I think I've found a new passion, one that I truly care about and that has inspired me to write once again. And that passion is:

Stock photos of umbrellas.

That's right, ladies and gentlemen. I am now reinventing myself as a critic, enthusiast, and analyst of not music, but stock photos of umbrellas. I feel stock photos are an exciting, powerful new medium, and they work perfectly with the natural beauty of umbrellas.

As such, this is no longer FlamingScribblenaut's Blog of Music, but rather FlamingScribblenaut's Blog of MUSIC (Mad Umbrella Stock Image Coolness). Get ready, because there's lots of exciting ground to cover with this subject.

See you later today as we kick of this project with the Top 10 Best Stock Pictures Of Umbrellas Of All Time!

Thank you all for reading, and I'm excited to share this journey with you.

The future is now.
