Well, of course, that's not me at all!LOL! But he does what I do. I dropped by work today and had my associate and a couple of his reps help stage this shot for me. Had my associate sit at his desk in his cubicle while his reps tossed papers at him. Still learning, there are things I should have done that I did not do....focus than lock so the shots could be continous...change the white balance prior to shooting. I did use a tripod and manual remote. Not really enough time to keep shooting, I found this one to be close to how to how I envisioned it. Paper driven, numbers driven world that can inundate you at times. The payoff is not awful so we'll stick with it while we can.

The background is maybe a bit too cluttered for this to be a truly great shot, though. Maybe a narrower DOF, keeping the human subject in focus but de-emphasising the detail in the cubicles further away, might have worked better.
Lighting's a bit flat, too. But I don't suppose there was much you could to about that without using some expensive external flashes.
