Man in a Box

Trash.

Inspired by @northy as this is ETSOOI and overexposed to all buggery.

*tips*

camera sitting on edge of top step with tiny pillows from buying a watch box resting underneath the 8mm fisheye (hence the distortion). Found cardboard box in the post. Set camera to f3.5, set exposure to +3.0 set timer to 12.0 secs. Half depress trigger on leg and fully depress and then step back.

Put new hat on head.

Pose.

Wait.

beep beep beepbeepbeep click.

Look at back of screen.

Make grunt of impressnest.

Put Memory Card thingo in back of computer.

ETSOOI.

I like it!

[emily tull]

I'm with @gavincci nice attire and surely plonker should be a tag...I only have Peter with me in plonker world

[Maggiemae]

I thought after you said, "step back", you would continue, " pick myself up from the bottom of the staircase"! Try again! Like the bare feet!

[Jason Daniels]

@gavincci - you should google frog cakes + balfours.

@houdiniem - I'll add the tag.

@maggiemae - oh no, I stepped back from the the camera position.

[Wendy Bowden]

Like the new hat

[Five plus Two]

@wenbow - choice. Its a good fit eh?

[Peter de Graaff]

Fabulous

[Jason Daniels]

@peterdegraaff - Thanks.

[Michelle]

it could only be you.. I shake my head.,. and I laugh :D

[summerfield]

@maggiemae - maggiemae! hahaha! i was thinking of the same thing. @bobfoto - first thing in the morning so my eyes are still bad at focusing but i thought the frogcakes were the watermelon from gsanemone's pic. tee-hee! lovely!

[Simply Amanda]

Great description. Singing Alice in Chains now. Glad you didn't fall down the stairs with the box on your head.

[Tabbycat]

@houdiniem Oi! What am i? Chopped liver??

I luvs this, J! What is the little green squidgy thing on your shirt saying to the other green squidgy thing on your shirt?

[Daryl O'Hare]

hehehe...You do not want to know how many times I tried my shot and then figured that ETSOOI was the only way I could use it. NEXT!

[emily tull]

@tabbycat oops sorry! been me and Mr P for a long time

[Taffy]

Great one! Love the distortion of the steps. And your interpretation of trashy!

[Jason Daniels]

@tabbycat - they're frog cakes on the shirt and one is saying to the other "riddip" (hey I can see you on the plonker page)

@michelleyoung - heh heh heh.

@summerfield - watermelon? Where's the watermelon?

@amandal - YAY someone's singing the song! #:0)=

The box might have saved me?

@darylo - (and hoping Amanda is reading this bit) ETSOOI is my number one tip for a great selfie. NEXT!

@houdiniem - I reckons ol' Plonker Tabbycat quickly added her tag prior to posting her comment??? Huh??? (just seeing who reads what...)

@taffy - Thanks Taffy :)

[Simply Amanda]

Must be B&W, though, right?

[Jason Daniels]

@amandal - nope. Exorcise the devil. Let colour in.

[Tracey H-N]

cute.

[Marloes]

Haha, like your beard ;)

[katy]

Thrilled the great bobfoto is using ETSOOI!!! @espyetta tell Dan it is definitely happenin'!!!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

@grammyn True dat! If he uses it, it has arrived!

[Jason Daniels]

@traceyhn - haha!

@stimuloog - Thank you!

@grammyn @espyetta - Everyone is using ETSOOI now...

[MaryBeth Dailey]

@bobfoto lol! This just shows the high esteem in which we hold you, Jason. it only arrived when you use it! Lol!

[Jason Daniels]

@espyetta - Why thank you MB. I'm waiting for the day when I see it in online somewhere else... it will happen.

[Katia]

Great one! :D

[MaryBeth Dailey]

@bobfoto Does Flickr count? it's over there I think.

[Jason Daniels]

@agentzuckerguss - Thanks :)

@espyetta - Did you introduce it to Flickr? Have you seen anyone use that you suspect no prior contact?

[Lisa Pouncy]

I love your tips...would never manage to do this without the tips...oh wait, I failed again at joining in :o/ Must try harder next week. I will join in again one day I promise! I prefer you without the box on your head I have to say :o) xx

[GS*Anemone]

The title makes me think of the 'Alice in chains' song

[MaryBeth Dailey]

@bobfoto I did not put that out on Flickr. I only got on Flickr once to put on a few pics about a year or so ago...maybe longer. But I think alot of people here post on Flickr, so it spread over there. Maybe I should google it!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

@bobfoto @psychographer Okay, I googled "ETSOOI" and it wanted to show ETSOI which is some technical stuff. So I chose ETSOOI below it. It had all the ETSOOI challenges on 365 and then a bunch of images, mostly which were profile pics from 365. I saw Lisas, Brunis, Mary (M9)s, and many many more. But not mine! haha Go figure!

[Jason Daniels]

@espyetta - ahhh google is your friend!

@gsanemone - it should.

@psychographer - this week 5+2 in conflict, sounds like a cracker? And thank you for the boxless suggestion.

[Kitti Nelson]

Love Frogcakes - miss Balfours - this reminds me of one of my cats - if the rest don't fit he puts his head in the box. - Love ETSOOI too - it's def' arrived now!

[Jason Daniels]

@kittikat - Miss me a Balfours Pastie... the hint of pepper and the swede makes for a yummy combination.

[Kathy A]

What is one frog cake saying to the other frog cake?

[Tina Pettman]

that is an awesome tshirt

[Jason Daniels]

@kjarn - Riddip.

@teenerweener - It rocks eh! Some guy in the shop the other day was impressed.
