Some see pictures, some see cameras

As Sean says, it's fun to take pictures of people taking pictures. Looks as if it's also fun to pretend to take pictures of people taking pictures.

 

 

Reminds me of the old joke: During wartime, Country B is under air attack by Country A.

 

Country B has almost no air forces, and hopes to protect the few planes it has by moving them further from its borders and putting cardboard mockups in their place, deluding Country A into bombing the mockups instead of the real aircraft.

 

So to show Country B that it's onto their games, Country A drops cardboard bombs on Country B's cardboard planes.

 

 

Fun picture. Glad you posted it. And the thread title is quite apropos.

Howard -

 

In the months leading to D-Day there was a similar decption, with a huge amassing of fake military equipment at a port area in eastern England which would not be a jumping off point to cross the Channel. Part of the decption included recognizable generals regularly inspecting the rows of equipment.

For anyone who has not seen it, the pic is from the movie Elizabethtown with the scrumptious Kirsten Dunst and err, lucky Orlando Bloom.

 

The story is about a suicidal failed salesman and a chance meeting with a happy go lucky flight attendant who shifts his paradigm, basically being that great things happen when least expected.

 

That picure is a kind of running theme in the movie, and actually reminded me of the M experience as you're so often there, part of the scene, and able to record it almost uninterrupted.

 

It's just never quite the same experience with any other type of camera..

 

Interesting you should choose that pic to start a thread, overgaardcom :)
