Tour De Mouches
Mr. Fly goes for a ride.
The bicycle was made using staples, plastic and glue.
Sidenotes:
- The fly is not dead
- No photoshop was used to edit except for a slight vignetting
Tools Of The Trade:
If there's one tool a cyclist can't live without, it's his bike!

Ahh, but a good magician doesn't reveal his tricks, but I basicly just placed it on the bike and took some quick shots :)

Nicholas Hendrickx said (22 Aug 2007):
In some photos it's dead, but in most it is alive
That's what makes it so interesting to do :)
It's really alive in this one, I wouldn't see the point of lying,
besides, a dead fly can't hold onto objects, such as this bike
it would simply fall off
thanks for the comment! :) -
