 Okay...There is story behind this one...

It was early and I got up to catch the sunrise... I stole my mothers pots and tied em up on the stop sign with string... I was on my little wooden box hanging them up for awhile flustered because the damn things wouldn't stay so I ended up going back to the house, (which is only a few yards away) and got some trusty tape. AAnnnd what do ya know... When I got back there was a visitor pondering at my pots. It was a police officer in a shiny hat. I approached and he questioned me on what I was doing and why. I told him I just had this idea to string up pots on the stop sign and reverse the image so it said "POTS" instead of "STOP." I don't think he quite understood because he thought I was up there stealing the stop sign... Hah. Anyway, I think he was so confused he just nodded his head slowly pretending to know what I meant.
Damn teenagers.

I've only had a chance to look at a few of your pics but you are most def. a very talented guy, in a wonderfully, twisted way. Lots of creative processes going on in all your shots. And to include the police in your photo adventures! Top notch :) Keep shaking it up.
There's a lot of photos to view in your port. but I hope to peek at them all sooner or later. Inspirational stuff.

haha now thats timing. This is a really interesting way to go about the sign challenge. My friends have a lot of history with taking street signs and never have they come close to being caught. You weren't even planning to take it.

I like the southern Ontario January with the warm sunrise good balance.

Great story. I can just picture the slightly disturbed, mostly dumbfounded look on the cop's face. Me: Giggling foolishly.

Hey Joey...I can tell that you're smart. And if you're really 15 then I can't wait to see what you do over the years.

I'll make sure to bump into you in 10 years or so and see what you're up to. Keep it up.

He didn't seem the type to want to be in my picture, but your right... That never crossed my mind! Oh well there's always next time I'm questioned by the police... ;-)

LOL! Took me a moment to get it. So funny, very creative. Oves you some extra points. The electricity cables in the sky are a little distracting. 8.

Very clever, but I feel that the sign is a little too dark.

This is utterly off-the-wall. Whatever was going through your head? Why is it backwards? Is it staged or "found"? I got to love it...
