There are a few photos out there where someone snaps a pic of me laying on my back under some truck or building or rocket ship. This one was framed well with my hat on backwards which only happens when I need to shoot up and the bill of my cap gets in the way and screw my knees getting dirty, this is serious business. I&#8217;m usually careful about getting my knees dirty when out photographing for some reason.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, it is a good shot.
