Breaking the Rules

Fantastic!

Breathtaking!!!!

Power-waves! :)

Each letter was drawn on with a marker. The hard part was keeping the glasses from spinning on the way down and having the letter spin out of view. It took about 5 shots to get this one.

I was going to layer separate shots but figured out how to drop 5 glasses at once.

I had planned this as a stock photo for the corporate world but it turns out my daughters' friends all want it for myspace.

This photo has notes. Move your mouse over the photo to see them.

A personal favorite. Did you have any glasses left? You probably needed one for a drink after all that work. I hope it was champagne to celebrate your excellence.
