Wave the umbrella, fella!

bush-2-160.jpgRegular readers know how this game is played. We give an impossible assignment to our photographers, and by gosh they nearly always succeed.

This time around, we REALLY pushed them: Come back with a photo showing a) a guy holding an open umbrella indoors, b) someone playing a trombone and c) the President of the United States! Yes!

I’ll be darned if they didn’t come through again! The really smart shooters figured out quickly that the President was the tricky part, so they started there, giving them a head start on the ones that went to random umbrella shops and just waited for George Bush to show up with a horn. Next time, something even harder!
