I was quite amused when thumbing through an issue of 'Glamour' magazine
(hey, some of the pics in there give 'Playboy' magazine a run for the
money) when I looked carefully into the eye of a full page picture of a
model's face. I was trying to figure out how each photograph was lighted.
What did I see in the eye reflection? Why the unmistakeable image of the
photographer himself, silhouetted against a large white umbrella (I
presume). If you didn't look closely, nothing would seem amiss.
I got a little mileage out of it by passing it around and asking if anyone
could see the man in the picture. No one did, until I pointed out the
silhouette, and it always elicited an exclamation of 'Oh, how cool!' or
something like that.
