Well hey, they keep saying the rich are getting richer, s if they were to feel the pinch I imagine they'd downgrade, too...
American $$ are more universal than Cdn and easier to shoot as it doesn't look like Monopoly $$$. Usually have some around as I go cross-border shopping on occasion and like to have US $$ for the toll bridge at border. Carefully scotch taped to a roll of real TP. have some great outtakes from where Lily got into the act too!
Had extra lights strewn all over the place to try and knock out the shadows but could only minimize them, not eliminate them. Had one clamped to the door, another with a diffuser on the floor, the bathroom's own lights going...then I curved the crap (sorry bad pun) out of it. I'm the model, in elbow length gloves, rhinestone bracelet and cocktail dress. Had to lean over and press the shutter all by my little self. Thank gawd fer tripods! :-)

I always enjoy seeing your entries in these challenges, Susan - you often put so much effort and thought into the set up. Another funny take here, and I can appreciate your difficulties with minimizing those shadows - no you didn't beat them, but you put in a valiant effort. I wish I could give you a tip here to help for the future, but the issue has me a bit stumped too. :)
Susan, I really liked this shot and gave it a high score. I haven't read the other comments, so I can't imaging why there were so many low ratings. Your idea is wonderful, and you executed it quite well, IMO. I'm just not quite sure about the shadow. I spent a bit of time trying to decide if they were good or not. So I guess that means they were distracting. I love the glove and bracelet, and the position of the hand is perfect. The roll of ones is convincing too. I think it is hilarious to be using TP with a fancy glove on. Oh, great title too.
eta: I have not read the other comments, and I disagree with the ones that said the contrast is too strong. I like High Key images, and I think that style fits your idea very well.
LOL! This is hilarious! I didn't make it through the challenge for voting so I missed this one. Very nice! Look forward to the outtakes, and love the write-up of how you did this.
