Mood: Confused ~chopsky May 6, 2007
Not sure what else to say but, how?
How the HELL did you take this? It looks like a photoshop, and Im sure it probably isn't. I know youre an incredible photographer, but how the hell did you make a frame of something like this?
It looks like youre up in the sky at the same level as the birds.
I'm completely and utterly confused.
YOFFI!
