Posted by kvh at July 29, 2004 12:45 AMman, he must really be stinky to make everyone else use a double!!! great find matto, as usual. ;-)
Posted by your_waitress at July 29, 2004 01:33 AMAMAZING photo. First aid class? (How do you find yourself in so many intriguing situations, by the way?)
Posted by Kathleen Connally at July 29, 2004 01:49 AMits like some freaky dream, I like it...why inflatable people? can i borrow some for a party I am having
Posted by Jim Green at July 29, 2004 02:29 AMthanks all! wow, those comments are coming pretty fast on this one. i've got a nice piece of homemade apple pie for the first person who guesses what this pic's all about :)
kathleeen: i blame toronto. and no, i was not attending the world's largest first aid class. good guess though.
Matt - I think I'm probably ineligeable for that pie, aren't I? :)

Posted by jim at July 29, 2004 11:14 AMOk, I've been thinking about this all day now. (Damn you.) The clock on the balcony says 8:20 and the light is streaming in the windows, so the guy is eating breakfast, not lunch. (It looks vaguely like eggs.) He is wired for some reason, but whether it's a mic or his iPod, I don't know. He has notepads in the seat next to him. Is he a director, and is a film, TV show, or commercial being shot? (The lighting and framing are really great, by the way -- never mind the sheer delight of the subject matter.)
Posted by Kathleen Connally at July 29, 2004 11:17 AMJim gets pie (in a box, shipped overseas, parcel post). Well done!
Nick, I really hope you're not inelligible for pie because that would be horrible.
Kathleen, you can have pie because you thought about my photo all day, and because you noticed that the clock didn't match the light. Excellent sleuthing! However, you interpreted this wrong. It is really lunch time but the clock is set to the time in the scene we were shooting.
Posted by matto at July 29, 2004 11:50 AMNow that the mystery is solved, I'll confer (as a close colleague of the man pictured here) that he really is stinky.
Posted by greg at July 29, 2004 01:56 PMsee?? i knew it! that should be worth some pie man! ;P
Posted by your_waitress at July 29, 2004 03:22 PMYou're a waitress, get yer own pie! ;P
Ahh, but does she get her own *pieman*?
Posted by rooks at July 29, 2004 04:23 PMHoly obscure references Rookman!
Posted by matto at July 29, 2004 04:28 PMyou want my address to mail me the pie?
Posted by Jim Green at July 29, 2004 04:47 PMjim: yes, but will you settle for cherry?
Posted by matto at July 29, 2004 10:53 PM
Huh?
I must've missed it.
What is going on in this scene/shot?
help.

Posted by at July 30, 2004 07:21 PMJosh: there is only one real person in this shot, the rest are inflatable dummies being used as extras on a film set.
Posted by matto at July 31, 2004 01:37 PMYeahhhhh!!! The CTS (Central Tech School) auditorium :) I use to work in stage crew, working with the audio & lights. This was usually the scene every so often when movie company's use to come in and shoot a few scenes. I remember them having the same setup when they filmed a scene for "Angels in the Infield". Good memories of that school :D Beautiful shot btw
