BIG RIG
“We sat the elephant on
a stool at a studio where
cars are usually photo-
graphed,” photographer
Bob Elsdale says. Why? It
was the only studio with a
door big enough for the
elephant to fit through!
The car is a toy photo-
graphed at a beach.
SOMETHING’S
FISHY
Surprise! This photo is for
real. “I was sportfishing
with a man who brought
his pet iguana,” photogra-
pher Bill Curtsinger says.
“The iguana climbed up the
fishing pole to get a better
view. It looked like he was
fishing.” So Curtsinger
grabbed a camera for this
real photo that fools just
about everyone.CREATURE

The original photo was of an
empty movie theater. It was
taken by Lund, who wedged
plastic film canisters between
the seats to hold them down.
He then added the furry audi-
ence members. A “layer mask”
tool let the animals’ eyes show
through the 3-D glasses that
Lund pasted on later.
