    Something about this scene doesn't sit right with me...

    I went to the Field Museum in Chicago today. Strangely enough, I ran across a familiar face or two while I was there. What on earth was this photographer taking a picture of?!?!?!

    Ancient Indian ruins?

    Wow,

    What a bad position to be caught in! Interesting area to take a shot!

    I don't know if I should admit to this, but I am almost sure that I have been in that position a few times.

    I've goota say, I hope no one like Trevor is there to catch me in my curious positions while trying to get "unique"perspectives . . . but, good one Trevor. Looks like you flashed this shot. Did he notice and react?
    please do not edit and repost my photos

    Re: Something about this scene doesn't sit right with me...

    This is so funny. The shot was completely staged. In fact, that IS sebastion playng along wonderfully.

    We were in the museum (another view with his wife, sebastian with his girlfriend, and I) and I'm giggling to myself when sebastian's girlfriend notices and asks what I'm grinning about. I told her it would be funny to take a picture of someone photographing the way seb is in this photo.

    The funniest part about this whole thing is that this was a public area with lots of people walking by and I made sebastian come back for another shot with flash (I didn't use flash on the first one). I could see the annoyance in his face and who would blame him!!!

    All said, it was a very fun day for me even though I had nothing but this to show for it

    OMG! What the hell?! That is too funny. Did you happen to post that in the "Pictures of Photographers" thread?
    Just read further in the thread.... that's Seb? Cute prank, you guys.
