There's a long story attached to this shot. Please read. It's important.

So here it goes.
Everything was calm. I took a pear out of the refregirator to take make a nice fruit picture as my good friend Francois Cote had done weeks ago (see his work : [link]).

Then at the precise moment when I dropped the pear on the table something caught my attention. I felt a simple and gentle breeze on my cheek. Then I turned back to see if I let the window opened then I heard : **SNAP**, turned back again and then! DAMN! A ninja had cut my pear in to half.
I haven't seen a thing, I only heard the sound of the katana going through the juicy fruit. I'm not sure if you can see it on this picture, but it is CLEAR that the cut was made by a very sharp katana since the pear haven't even moved... And the cut is so clean. WHOA!

I'm lucky that he wasn't heading for my head.

Still I'm not sure why have he came my way... was this a warning from Francois not to try to make the same picture as him? Or maybe it's was a "ninjaesque" way to tell me that some people want to kill me? Or he was sent by the future to tell me that if I don't do anything, America will be torn appart by a second civil war (this is CLEARELY represent by the two part of the pear, top = north and bottom = south) the connections are all there... I just can't find what he meant...

Who knows... I'll have to be on my guards all time now.

There are two essential basic strategies for success in photography:

1. Never reveal all you know.

I love it. Be they death threats or warnings of wars to come, Ninjas can make art of anything *nods* And that pear is so colorful! Maybe the pink shades warn of the future bloodshed, spread across the north and south...

You must be right about the bloodshed... then that means that it was this theory that was true. We must do something!! ;)

Thanks for the comment and the +fav :)

Well of course, the only way to counter ninjas are psychic war elephants. I mean, what if the ninjas will be the cause of this war! And look at those dark red blotches on the north! I think the ninjas are in favour of the south this time. Hmmm...

I think the ninjas are in favour of the south this time

Then I guess we are doomed this time... (since i live in the north)... well in fact i'm in Canada, so maybe I won't be touch by the war... but anyway the consequence are going to change the face of the earth as we know it. I'll try to learn more about those psychic war elephants...
