Air Floss !

The latest innovation in dental hygiene.
This is from my archives. I shot this about two years ago and it was originally posted in an older photostream (on Flickr) of mine that no longer exists. I came across it yesterday as I was reorganizing my library. It cracked me up. I took a leaf blower and fastened it to a step ladder. I placed the ladder in my living room and turned on the leaf blower. It took several shots to get one I thought would work. My eyes were so dry, and my lips kept getting stuck on my teeth as they tried to go back to normal position. The noise from the blower lingered in my ears for about an hour after the shoot. Note the blur in my eyelashes... high velocity wind will do this kind of thing :o)
As I studied this shot yesterday... I had to ask myself, "What the hell was I thinking?!?!"
