So I was shooting in front of a step and repeat (a backdrop with logos basically) and I had to get the host Michael Yo, in a bunch of different shots with guests. So I was spouting out directions to the guys I was taking pictures of and some humor and a tweet came out of it, go figure!

It got re-tweeted 3 times!!
