Thanks, Ted.

The shot was kinda simple, I've been down with the flu for the past
week, the deadline was approaching, as a final ditch I brought up
the old twilight zone series on my laptop and captured some of the
opening graphics (probably illegal) on the screen with a miniature
car pressed up against the bottom. Contrast and distortion added
in PS.  Original image captured with an MP and 50 DR in close up
mode on BW400CN film. The image isn't going any further than the
LUG so I probably won't die in jail!  ;-)

>>Hi  Montie!
OK this is one I'd be pleased if you'd explain how you shot this? And what 
is it? :-)

But it's a top image to say the least for imagination. A front cover 
"Feature Page" movie section photo in the local paper.

I can only say it's absolutely most effective visually! Whether I have any 
idea of how you shot it or not? But that's not relevant as long as the 
"Feature photo" grabs the readers attention to read the article!

And that's what some of the photo requests are all about in these 
assignments. Hopefully for some of the crew to look beyond our usual photo 
items.  Tust me  I'm enjoying the imaginative images we are all having the 
pleasure of seeing from our, "CREW!"

Well done lad.

cheers,
Dr. ted
