Totally Informal Transglobal Challenge
March 1, 2007
"Tools"


OK, while the photo looks all serious, the process certainly wasn't. I had spread a huge
sheet of paper on my dining room floor and opened the door for the noon sun. So, there I was:
lying on my stomach on the floor, holding the camera in one hand,
balancing the tip of the screwdriver in the other while keeping my fingers out of the way,
and trying to macro focus an inch from my subject....
all while having two assistants stand just on the other side of the threshold
breathing and slobbering in my direction:

Love the image and the story. I have to admit that I am impressed you got such a sharp photo using a macro lens while handholding the camera and screwdriver. I also love the sun beaming through the screwdriver handle.
