The fruits and veggies are suspended on fishing line and attached to a frame I made out of wood a mic stand and a pool vacum pole. Once the set up was complete I just set the timer and got in the middle of the hanging food. My neighbors think I am insane...maybe their not to far off.
Took a number of shots even had my daughter take a few...will post after the challenge.
I like this shot...hope it does well :)

Hiya Coley - great shot. I'm a graphic designer and I work for local government in the UK and we'd like to use the picture. We'll be sending you an email with more details shortly on COLEY1@ROGERS.COM.

Fantastic, my fave this week. Maybe because I enjoy juggling. Of course I like your idea better. I bet I could even get 8 items up that way!! Should have won a ribbon!
Fruit hanging from fishing lines, hmmmmmmm.
You sneaky little bugger, you had me fooled along with everyone else no doubt.
I love it :) Damn!! I just wish I thought of it.
I really love this photo. I think this is the best use of stop motion shooting I've seen in the contest, and so I am awarding you my first place pick. The moment in time you captured in time is just perfect. I think having this in bright sunlight, while looking good on the veggies though, is one small weaknes on the person. But overall, this photo works very well, so you get a 10!
validated??? Why??? (my guess is that there was someone underneath him throwing the extra fruit). I think this shot is very humouristic and still nice to look at!
You really stopped the movement. And cought the color. And the composition. Sure you don't have "juggle" in your name? Did someone else toss additional objects into the mix? Regardless - shows great skill. Congratulations and good luck with the challenge.
Wow! Just about the time you start wondering: "Did they REALLY do that?" you see the validation stamp to confirm that you really did that. . . .VERY cool :) I love your use of bright colors against the great blue background.
I like your theme. I think it is very clever. While this shot is very clear and very colorful, something bothers me about it. I don't know if it is too bright or what. It doesn't look like the fruit could really be in those positions naturally. It looks to me like they must have been added onto the picture later or something. I'm not saying you did that, but that is the impression I get from it.
Great composition. I'm not sure whether I like the square crop on this or not. Perhaps a portrait crop would have lent a sense of gravity to the cascade of objects. Regardless you chose a wonderful background and I love the interplay of the blue gradient sky in the background with the gray shirt of the subject. Am I seeing some moire in the shirt or is that a textured pattern? Your exposure looks like it was difficult. The shadows cast on the subject are hard and the hot spots on the subject's cheek and fingertips tend to show that you probably had some difficult lighting to work with. The exposure on the all the fruit still allows some texture and details to show through; the texture of the lighter, more reflective oranges and the contours of the duller peppers show a nice range. I wonder what camera you used and what settings allowed you to get such a good exposure with strong directional light like this.
You did a good job catching the action here. Your subject is personable, perhaps its the backwards facing cap or maybe just the fountain of fruit but I can imagine him to be a brother or uncle who is just showing off at a family get together and making the kids laugh. The shot seems playful and yet it looks technically diffcult.
