Default Bored? You need more flair....

During a recent trip to Seattle, I was sitting at a stop light when this young man caught my eye out the passenger side window of my truck. I discreetly grabbed my camera and took this shot...trying not to be noticed. He's supposed to be grabbing the attention of passers-by by jumping up and down with the sign, twirling it... anything to get your attention. You've all seen 'em on the corners!

I guess he got an important text message. I know it's not technical or artistic, but I thought it was humorous.

Bored Much

Yeah, we've got those guys near one of the pizza places here. They switch between playing a cardboard guitar to juggling a sign with their sale info on it near a busy intersection. They look almost crazy, but it's still funny. This is a great capture. It looks like one of those commercials showing the hazards of texting while walking/driving.
