Behind the scenes
Monday, July 20, 2009 at 01:41PM I hate posting pictures of myself. Really. I look like a dork. A dork with a camera, which increases my dorkyness exponentially (Dork x 1025). My assistant, Brantley, took enough photos of me to make my own album. A few of them are viewable enough to make me not cringe so much.
Whomever can come up with the most creative and hilarious caption for any one of the following pictures gets a $10 Starbucks gift card care of Allen Arrick Photography (that would be me).
RULES: You have to post your comment on this website in the comment section of this post. Please include your name and email address (otherwise I cannot contact you). Be funny. Tell me what picture you're talking about.
I'll start with reference from the Hangover.
By the way, it's not a purse, it's a satchel. Actually it's a shootsac.
Shooting this photo, and this photo.
Shooting this photo.
Where's waldo?

Ok, the creative side of my brain is working... anything for Starbucks...
These captions are for the last two photos:
"Ultimate Dork: holding a camera, with a purse (aka shootsac) on shoulder AND using an umbrella inside."
"My camera's bigger than your camera" (must be sung)
I look forward to reading what other's come up with!

Final row, on the right: "Hey bitch--preserve THIS memory!"

4th row: "Please pay no attention to the man with the giant camera lens"
Last row on left: "Hm...3200 ISO.....sh**!"
Last row on right: "No really it's cool, not like I'm trying to work or anything here. Any chance I can get a CD with the photos though....?"
Enjoyed the photos man.
