Anatomy of a blackmail photo - 02-25-2009, 08:24 AM

Shot this at Rocbar awhile ago...they're a client who posts these on their website and myspace for viral marketing...

This is unfinished, un-logo'd, no corrections...just added the notations and posted because of the ammusement.

About an hour after I shot this he came up and realize *what* shot that and begged me not give it to the club client to post...I didn't give it to the client...but naturally when I ran into it today I posted it on TPF...



I could have made some blackmail cash....

No cash pending. I doubt if red-shirt's GF would care that much.

You should add one pointing to the glass in yellow dress girl's hand saying "not water" and one to her saying "not 21".

I think Redshirt needs to talk to you about his future "investment" (see another thread) in your photograph.
