OK, almost a year ago in this thread I thought my chicken tender looked like a manatee:



Today, I have the same issue with a Crescent Roll:




Michael, I don't think the pills you sent me are helping…

Happy Psychotic-Delusion-Filled New Year, Everyone!

Mark?

Might be time to lay off of those pills...

WOW. I could kind of see it with the chicken, but with the crescent role it's quite obvious. Looks like a perfect match. The manatees are trying to tell you something Mark... but what?

I would say the roll looks more like a humpback whale.

How did you suspend the crescent roll for the picture?

I have two theories.

1. He tossed the crescent roll in the air and snapped the picture when it was at the peak of its ascent. It probably required a lot of takes and good dexterity.

2. He used Photoshop.


I'm gonna go with 2.

The manatee is saying "go fishing" Mark!

That's creepy. Highly religious people often see the Virgin Mary in common household items -- wonder what seeing a manatee means ?

I'm hoping "overworked and overdue for a vacation"

We HAVE a winner!

Since I hadn't broken down the setup, here it is:



A- Camera with Macro lens
B- Articulating arm ending with a nail to mount the "manatee"
C- Tupperware cover for blue background
D- Flash blasting through Tupperware cover for saturated color
E- Main light was a 2' x 3' softbox

Time in studio: 7 minutes
Time in Photoshop: 3 minutes
Time to write the post: 10 minutes (including uploads)
Time enjoying how insanely stupid and pointless it was: Priceless.

Mark's next picture will be of himself in the bathtub. . .thus, completing the trilogy.

I think the manatees should spend some "quality" time together. you might get a chicken sandwich out of it. I'm hungry

LOL! I hope NOT. Although, in the tub would probably be better than using that "arm with a nail" setup.

Mark, you need to get your meds from JP. And eat more vegetables.

Cracked me up. Thanks!

That's a quote from the movie "Madagascar" -- but I bet you didn't know that, not having air-breathing kids... yet.
