The amazing levitating Jeff...

[telophase]

I took this picture in 2001, when I was working behind the scenes at an anime convention. It's nothing spectacular picture-wise, except that the perspective and the pattern on the carpet combine to create the optical illusion that Jeff (standing) is levitating.

I was sitting on a beanbag on the floor, and tilting the digital camera slightly, I think.

it even looks like he's pulling himself up by the scruff of the neck
