Default Spartacus: The final chapter (FBI Confidential)

...well, the ugly truth has come out. Recall that Spartacus escaped from his bag and ran amuck, posting his face all over the internet, all the while casting shadows on my reputation. Here's a confidential shot from the FBI files (eyes only).

PS...I just found out that Spartacus' self portrait was runner-up in last week's assignment for Show Us Your Camera!! http://digital-photography-school.co...s-10-16-jan-10

Spartacus: The FBI Files

Barbie (pictured far right) was found face down in a puddle of lens cleaning fluid. Ken showed up, finally, and drove her home in the pink corvette. Somehow, the worm went missing from the bottle of Jose Cuervo, and the dog was found in the corner shaved and in the fetal position, but thankfully unharmed. Most of the mess has been cleaned up, however, the FBI is still trying to figure why the 135mm had a slinky hanging off the front of him.

Moral of the story: Take care of your digitals. Don't let THIS happen to you!!!



Thanks for everyone's comments!

Great picture, I hope Spartacus learned his lesson! I would like to see the picture from the 135 through the slinky!

Thanks, M! It was fun to do! There's a lot more potential to humanizing our cameras than what I did. Lots of possibilities!! Thanks!

Spartacus looks kind of haggard and run down. I guess the party is finally over for him. I am glad to hear Barbie is ok and has been returned home.

Jim, please accept my sincere condolences -- hope it didn't cost you too much to bail him out of jail after this wild rampage ..... (And thanks for the fun!)
