Q: Many thanks, MadScientist, for attending our non-price competition "One egg and one spoon" by Isao, an Aminus3 photo blogger! May I look at your contribution?
MS (unveils his photo): Voilà.
Q: Um, well, ... Ha, ha! ... Er, what have we here... it's a - it's a - er...
MS: This is Egg and his friend Spoon, conquering the sea. I planned to have a shooting with them at the original location but time and budget were low. So I had to improvise.
Q (regaining his composure): I see, I see. Yes. They seem to have a good time.
MS: Absolutely. They were a great team and we all had a lot of fun.
Q: Did you experience any difficulties?
MS: Well, yes, the construction of the ship was more complicated than assumed. I tried various designs, then we were running out of paper, and I had to use what we had developed by then.
Q: Anything more?
MS: Yes, the light was difficult. I planned to do an outdoor shot, but it was raining. That would have ruined the ship, so I had to improvise.
Q: I see.
MS: And Spoon got a bit seasick. But he's fine again.
According to an idea by Isao!

@Paco Díaz: Well, to tell the truth... It looks like an imporovisation, but actually it took hours persuading them to enter that boat. Really... ;-)
@Ana Lúcia: Mission accomplished: both of my models now have their model contracts and you'll see them in any magazine near you soon! ;-)
