Close To The Bone

I asked this young woman if she'd hold a knife for my shot (she was product-demonstrating)
and lo and behold she struck this pose without prompting.
Unlucky for her, the boss was right next to her in the booth.
He gave her a very stern warning about company policy against her actions
and I quickly intervened to sooth tempers between he and her.
I felt bad for her but I was only doing my job photographing strangers!

I think she was ready for another line of work anyway.

Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel

LOL @ your story! From the thumb, I was afraid it was Heather Mills! (Paul Mc ex!)

Cindi Smith		02-Mar-2008 19:32
LOL! Women and knives arescary!!

It definitely looks like her true line of work may be something other than product demonstration. :-)

:o( The next evening a knife disappeared. We found it planted between the two scapulas of the boss. :oP

She should not stay with an idiot boss.

Guest		15-Jul-2005 21:50
You should have shot the boss (before she does)!

Guest		15-Jul-2005 17:26
Dan, good story, pretty girl, you got a 'platinum' shot (sounds impressive anyway) and it all got worked out in the end. Isn't it great when people help out so willingly. :^) John

Adalberto Tiburzi		09-Jul-2005 07:49
Well, I need an assistant... ;-)

Guest		08-Jul-2005 18:37
Next week's challenge, "get a stranger fired"

jude		07-Jul-2005 10:22
nice.. realllllll nice.. lol Poor girl was probably embarassed, i've had bosses like that. I like that she was so animated and willing to be herself

bela45		07-Jul-2005 09:12
A girl like her deserves another boss;-)

Al Chesworth		07-Jul-2005 08:52
Nice one Dan, she really looks as though she has someone in mind.

Guest		06-Jul-2005 23:05
Photoshoot next?

Bob White		06-Jul-2005 21:44
Great shot Dan and what a Hero you are !! She can change jobs if she likes but she had better put that knife down before her next interview. Bob

Pepe Zyman		06-Jul-2005 19:36
She can be a star at terror films.

J. Scott Coile		06-Jul-2005 17:29
She's a thesbian... she was only actingaa :) Nice move.

Jacquelyn needs to be discovered. She should be in Hollywood. Or at least on a reality TV show. Send her photo to Fox, she could be the next contestant on "My Big, Fat, Oobnoxious, Average Joe Millionaire Nanny".

Guest		06-Jul-2005 13:35
You set her free here. Do you know how long she's been wanting to do that...at the boss?

Di		06-Jul-2005 11:58
I think everyone secretly wants to be photographed. This is a great capture...too bad about her uptight boss.

Chris Sofopoulos		06-Jul-2005 11:20
What an expression!!

Guest		06-Jul-2005 11:07
great story to go along with the pic. people can be so accommodating. :)

Guest		06-Jul-2005 08:18
Very funny story Dan! Brilliant. Is it me or does she look like Britney Shears or does she only sell knives... :)

Steven Jusczyk		06-Jul-2005 06:03
I'd be careful on the second date.

Donna Lear		06-Jul-2005 04:54
This is fantastic - all I could get from my stranger shot was goofy look and a stuck out tongue. I love this.

Guest		06-Jul-2005 02:54
Great shot of a spontaneous pose.

Karen Leaf		06-Jul-2005 02:48
Wonder if he'd let up if he knew she's famous now :> Looks like she's done this a couple times, before.

David Winge		06-Jul-2005 02:36
Excellent, "The Ultimate Chef" banner really adds to this, great job!

Gary Hebert		06-Jul-2005 02:26
this is too much....

Guest		06-Jul-2005 02:25
Her boss definitely needs to lighten up. This is great! Ya know, if she was the killer in "Psycho", I don't think too many people would have been afraid to get back into the shower. ;-)

Ray :)		06-Jul-2005 01:54
Hey, perhaps you have an opening for her?

noearlybird		06-Jul-2005 01:49
You are way too funny. Great shot AND story.

Coleen Perilloux Landry		06-Jul-2005 01:47
Oh, oh.

Guest		06-Jul-2005 01:44
Too bad the boss doesn't have a sense of humor - great pose! I've seen it in many movies ;^)
