Ask a Man to Stand in Front of a Cannon

And there’s no telling how he’ll react.  I think I heard Hydra say, “I’m just warning you, I’m a Vietnam vet!”

This is from Saturday at Santa Monica.   As we walked up there was a guy standing in front of the barrel of this cannon, completely oblivious to being on the business end of a big ol’ weapon.  He moved before I could take his photo, or maybe while I was hesitating, wondering whether it would be okay.

 

He was standing next to me when I took these shots.   I was trying to get Hydra to put his arms down.

Finally, I said, “Think Buster Keaton!”

And boom!

“Good direction,” the guy standing next to me said.
