It gives new meaning to the term "drive by shooting". I've done this kind of thing before, but never to capture a self portrait like this. I sure hope nobody gets hurt imitating you.

Wasn't sure if that was a shaver or a camera in your hands at first glance :-)
Brave of you, doing this while driving. And people are worried about talking on
the cell phone while driving? LOL I like it! Mark J

I'm glad you like the pic, Lonnit. Looking at the three first challenges, I was impressed by the qualtity of the contributions and I needed some time to post one myself (first try just in exhibition of the third challenge). BTW, I always had my eyes on the road (well, almost :-), the result were dozens of missed pics and this one. - tholo

I almost missed this! I saw the thumbnail and thought, "big deal" and passed by it on one or two visits to the gallery. This time around I decided to take a look and expected to retain the same blase' attitude. What a great surprise - this is hyterical! Everyone's been riding me about my 'from the car' shots although I've only done them as passenger, but they thought I took them while driving. That you did this while driving, with your little shadow giving it all away... that is absolutely hysterically adorable!!!!! Now, please keep your eyes on the road from now on so you can live to amuse us another day!! ;) ~ Lonnit

I like the streaking effect caused by the motion of the car. What funny is that by holding up the camera by your face to take the picture, your shadow looks like you're drinking a cup of soda through a straw :-).
