Flying Atticus

Not every shot is a winner.

Some of you may be wondering, How do you get Atticus to fly for those awesome pictures? Well, dear blog reader, we repeatedly hurl him in the air until we get a good shot (or until we're giggling too much to continue or until people give us weird looks). Here are the ones from our little photo session atop Mt. Washington.

In this shot, we completely miss the Pittsburgh skyline.

Timing is everything.

Sometimes I may throw him with a little too much enthusiasm.

Camera-shy.

Now he looks like he's jumping off a bridge.

And doing a martial arts move on Pittsburgh.

A GIANT FALLING ATTICUS IS GOING TO CRUSH PITTSBURGH!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES, PITTSBURGHIANS!

Atticus does his best impression of the Goodyear Blimp.


The winning shot.
