Normally, I use my blog to feature my favorite outtakes from the shoot which feature my subjects, but with two of the goofiest guys I know helping me on this shoot, the outtakes from our light tests were way more fun.

It was an early morning shoot, and much coffee was consumed.

There was one setup where we needed to photograph a group. Hands are just like faces, right?

Andrew Harnik is not an assistant, he’s actually a staff photographer at the Washington Times who was kind enough to help me on his morning off.  He was obviously playing for keeps as a stand-in.

And then this happened.
