My Tribute to one of my Favorite Movies.....

By no means is this rush job perfect (it was done at work before my Boss caught me ;-), but I think it came out ok considering the circumstances.

I hope you like it, because I had a whole lot of fun shooting it, but it was a nightmare to edit.

This is my rendition of the Police Line Up (from The Usual Suspects movie).

    Yep Susan! They are all me! I had to rush and change clothes and make sure I could TRY to keep pace with the rising sun to keep the shadows in sync. It was fun, but a nightmare at the same time.
    I'm glad you like it.
