Tell a Lie

Looking at this image you might think, “Wow, that photographer did a really great job capturing the beauty of those models in that image.” However, THERE WAS NOBODY BEHIND THE CAMERA. I placed the camera on top of a mailbox and set a timer of 10 seconds to take a bunch of photos. Setting the …
