Wow, 2 minutes to post this or I already go bad on my word! I better type fast!

So I just spent the evening here with my buddy Shyla going through some pics she took for me on a recent shoot and a funny story came up. I thought I'd share it so we could start the posting streak with something funny.

Shyla came by one night a couple weeks ago to meet up with me to go over some photos. I ended up getting caught in an important meeting and was running late. She has her own key so she let herself in to wait for me. It was about 8pm at night and the studio was completely dark (maybe not so settling for a young girl coming in alone). She flipped on a couple lights and sat down in a chair. She soon realized that she had to use the restroom so she went over, walked into the restroom, and flipped on the light. There are three switches, one for the main light, one for the fan, and one for the shower light. She turned on the shower light. Now there is a curtain covering the shower doors that is a bit sheer so anything dark shows through as a silhouette when you turn on the shower light and not the main bathroom light. My wetsuit just so happened to be hanging in the shower which looked like a man standing in the bathtub at first glance. From the sounds of it, it scared her pretty bad. Shoot.. that would have scared me too! haha!!

I hung up my wetsuit and flipped on the shower light to get a picture of what she saw.. check it out.. pretty creepy if you ask me ;)

HI Mike,

Just recently discovered your photography (I love the Amy & Yves set, really inspiring). Seems that you guys are a happy bunch of photogs. What's the secret?

Funny story...would have really given my wife nightmares if that was her seeing the thing behind the shower curtain.

cheers

No....I didnt scream or pee my pants but I did jump and think I would have a heart attack!! :)
It was FREAKY!!!

Once I stuck a life-sized cardboard cut out of Natalie Portman in my friends closet when he came home from vacation and he screamed like a little girl...more than once! Haha... I guess I deserved it.
