This is how it starts.

Great take for this assignment,

Norm

Thanks Norm, glad you like the idea.

Mark, when I saw the title, I wondered how you were going to execute the shot, I like how you pulled it off, subtle, but effective. Very nicely done.

Nice shot, for me it would be food

I have been wondering...how did the conversation go to get this setup...you must know these two co-workers well enough to get them to join in...

Thanks Travis. I imagined a few ways to present this, and after doing test shots of the desk and chair I ended up with this set up. I'm glad you like the final image.

, that's funny, but you may have a good idea for a future WA there. Thanks.

Good question Travis. Getting models is always a problem for me when doing people shots. Once again, things are not always as they seem. This shot is of me and my wife in our home office. I had a wireless remote shutter control in my hand that's hidden behind the file I'm pulling out of the drawer.

Very nicely done then Mark. Probably a lot easier to ask your wife to be the model...as opposed to a co-worker!

That's for sure Travis. There might also be some problems at home if I were to shoot these kinds of shots of other women anyhow.

Excellent idea and execution Mark. I like it a lot, great job! (you're lucky your wife is such a good model too ;-))

P.S. Tell Craig I say hi too.

Alas, no. I had planned to submit one of my workplace but I'm not in until Wednesday this week so I'm gonna miss the cut off date. :-( Hopefully get an entry in next week if I decide to "Pop in", lol ;-)

P.S Craig says Hi back. :-)

Hahaha...Well done Mark!! Made me laugh and beautiful execution.
