Drinkin' Buddies (tutorial)

The following is a brief tutorial for the adjacent “Drinkin’ Buddies” photograph. Following these simple instructions, you should be able to safely and realistically put your pet into any unsavory situation or biker bar. A brief summary is as follows:

 

a. Hold small, squirming pet in air while taking many photographs from various angles and lighting conditions. Repeat until pet tries to scratch you or pees on your foot.

 

b. Choose background bar photograph from recent road trip. A run-down bar on Route 66 in the Arizona desert will do nicely.

 

c. Turn work desk into temporary run-down bar. Borrow cigarettes and ashtray from mother (I don’t smoke) and photograph various beverages and containers, paying close attention to shadows and reflections.

 

Mix for an afternoon in Photoshop, shake well and serve. Now your pet is ready for the adventure of a lifetime! See adjacent photostream photo for final product.
