 The yellow pages was invented back in 1886 by Reuben H. Donnelly. Since then, the famous telephone directory has forever been associated with the color yellow. Will DPC voters get it? Not sure.

Title "Let your fingers do the walking" is the famous slogan associated with the Yellow Pages, and serves as the logo.

Wish I could have spot edited a couple of places, but oh well.

Simple photo...Picture was taken at a 13 second exposure. After 3 seconds, I placed my hand in the field as shown.

Thanks for your votes, everyone. I think the disparity in the voting between the commenters and overall lead me to believe that many did not quite make the connection.

Nice job. People who don't live in the United States might not get this. Unless they used this ad campaign all over the world. I don't know

Clever take on a common subject. Hope your comments detail how this was done. 9 from me, mostly for originality.

Probably the first photo I've seen that meets the spirit of the contest, "your interpretation of color yellow". 7
