Perspective

Al Neuharth: "The difference between a mountain and a molehill is your perspective."

Meet Mr Bottle. He's only 3.5cm (1.3in) tall. Maybe, due to his littleness, Mr Bottle almost always feels a little insecure about his environment. Hence the constant, slightly bewildered look.

FYI: In case you're wondering, his face wasn't edited into the shot. I put the face on the bottle using lettering transfer. His wide-open eyes are O's and his mouth is a hyphen. You'll be seeing Mr Bottle every day for a week because he's taking part in the Same Subject Challenge: http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/9939/one-month-left-for-same-subject-challenge

He protested about being photographed repeatedly--the camera unnerves him--but I think it's a good way for him to build some self-confidence. No pain, no gain. 8D

I love the story, but poor little Mr Bottle! I hope he isn't really scared about having his photo taken every day for a week? Maybe you should just do a day or 2 to start with, to break him in gently? Ooops, sorry Mr Bottle. didn't mean to use the 'B' word!
