The Best Photoshoot ever.........


I think I'm sick.
No, seriously, I peeled & sliced a whole onion at dinner time, not shedding one single tear. Either the onion was one of those special onions, the ones that lose all their ability to make someone cry, or I else guess my clever chopping was too fast for its toxic gas to take place. (alright, sidetracking a bit now......)
Anyway, down 2 what this article is about. Which is, a photoshoot.
Me, Jords, and usually Dan, go uptown, or to a cool wall, or fence, and let Beka take shots of us with her camera. Some photoshoots turn out really good, and some just....... suck. Like that one with JimBob, the crate, or - well that's another story, actually.
Now, this photo shoot we had on Saturday, on a freezing afternoon, was unlike any other photoshoot I've ever been on.

It started like this:
Well, it was one of those freezing cold days, the ones when you just want to sit by the fire and eat grapes. But not for us. (sadly). Despite the weather, me and Beka decided to have a photoshoot. She had this idea which contained some balloons, and a marker.
We packed up all our props, and took Jords with us. Daniel was doing something else, so didn't come.
Halfway there, (we didn't even know where we were going,) we were frozen. Well, sort of.
We found this cool black wall with a red garage & door, and took a couple of snapshots. Of course, all our photo's (well, most of them,) had to have an umbrella in, because the rain was really pelting down. We blew a balloon up, and so I stood there in the rain with a balloon on string while Beka snapped a couple of shots. We couldn't draw or write on the balloons, because it would run. Here's a couple of pictures from the black wall with the red garage and door:





After that, we stopped at the supermarket too warm up and buy lollies. We sat on the bench and ate them. Then we decided it was too cold and we'd go home. On the way we took some pictures by a power pole.





Then we had an idea to use Catherine's tripod which Beka was borrowing so she could be in the picture. So we stopped at the bus-stop around the corner from the power pole, set up the tripod, and put the camera on self timer:

On this shot here, the camera almost tipped up, so Beka ran forward 2 save it...................

After that, we thought there might be a cool place by the ware house, so we turned back.

It turned out it wasn't so cool, so we were about to leave, when we spotted it. Lying there in the gutter.

A POPCORN CHICKEN CARTON!!!!!!!!!

We immediately rushed off to KFC, and brought a box of popcorn chicken and chips.Aaaaaahh, that was soooooooooooo good! =)
Then Beka spotted her friend Catherine, & called across the road to her.

That's when the umbrella turned inside out.

Beka screamed and me and Jords cracked up laughing.
When that event was over, we decided to go home. So we stopped by our handy "NO ENTRY" sign, and took our last photos:


So, that was about it. After that we got home and hogged the fire while drinking orange juice.

So, that was one of the funnest days of my life!
Cya,
Nate
