Make sure we can see your face, but look at the equipment, not at me. That way, it looks like you're doing something, even though the equipment is all turned off. Okay, hold it . . . ."

Exactly along the lines of what I was thinking. I really get a kick out of the fellow that has his head stuck underneath the one set on the far right. Makes me wonder if his "day job" was at an auto repair shop. And everyone turning knobs on shut off equipment gets me grinning. I wouldn't be surprised if that photo appeared in a sales brochure or magazine ad somewhere. It is a great photo, though. A very nice shop.
