Thanks Cotty. Yeah, I wanted to shoot these with people, preferably attractive female people. But it wasn't in my budget. I told the owner of the limo company that he should bring in some of his friends, but he didn't bother. I guess I could have scouted up a freebie wannabe poser, but this was a last minute deal.
