Picture This!

Bonjour. I trust you are all rested after whooping it up at MouseFest. Those of you who were not in attendance were probably causing trouble elsewhere. News gets around, ya know.

I was on a mission to come back with hundreds of photos to share with you. Photos that would demonstrate what you and your camera are capable of. Sadly for you, most of my time was spent documenting Aladdin in various locations. OK, maybe not so sad for some.

Whilst making my way through France, I came upon Serveur Amusant. This performance is wildly popular among furniture makers and health insurance agents. Certainly we all have snapshots of the "tourist" climbing chair after chair hoping to reach the height of Godzilla. But what if we changed our position to create a more dramatic looking image? Something you wouldn't normally do...something bold and magnifique!

I give you...La Silhouette! (That's French for The Silhouette!)

How did I achieve this grand masterpiece? Ah, listen closely. I made my way slowly through the sweaty masses, watching the sun, and squinting. Once the sun was behind the subject, I stopped moving. I raised my camera and pointed it at the man atop the chairs and after cursing at the LCD screen I could barely see, I pressed the shutter release button. Voila!
