I got the idea while driving home from work on Thursday...got home set my camera up on my basement stairs and started shooting. I wanted it to look like a concert of one for the Black Sabbath song...I worked all through the night and litterally submitted this shot with minutes to spare..I wish I had another hour to work on the blending and shading...oh...I beleive there are 44 "Me's" in the shot...a lot of t-shirt changes! :-)

Thank you all for your great comments...this was a lot of fun to shoot...and nail biting to watch through voting!....I just want to say how much I appreciate my team mates and all that they've done for the Long Shots through the WPL..it's been a great time! Thanks Dennisheckman, Dr.Confuser, mitalapo , gg3rd, RianBotes, Alexkc, you guys are awesome!

Quite a collection of shirts you have there, and you made a good use of each and every piece.

HAHA, The two guys "high fiving" made me laugh even more. Too bad you are giving the sign language "I love you" instead of the Metal sign \m/
Funny though, must have taken a long time...
