Everybody Wants Their 15 Minutes of Fame

If I had been able to load video, this would have been a much more entertaining entry. Instead, I took a series of screen shots from the video and put them here in hopes that it captures the flavor of the action. (Note: there are three pages of photos in this entry.)

First, I was trying to capture some girls in the schoolyard playing a string game that I'm not familiar with. As I crouched down with the camera, one little boy decided that was his opportunity for fame and fortune and had a great time creating his own close-up screen test.

In the second video, I repositioned myself by standing up, still hoping to capture the string game, but he wasn't easily discouraged. He jumped up and down in front of me, his head bobbing in and out of the shot.

The only thing better than watching the video is watching the video in slow motion! The whole thing is way better than HBO any day.
