I found this photo in an eBay listing for a batch of used pinball-machine balls in July of 2000.
I didn't bid, but I messaged the seller letting them know they absolutely made my day with this photo and they replied with gratitude. I even set it as the desktop image on a computer I used in the arcade workshop I worked in at the time.
It's been sitting on my hard drives for 26 years, and I no longer wish to keep it to myself.
@Rob_T_Firefly Walked into the studio of the notoriously perfectionist Quincy Jones, was handed the script, said his lines in just two takes, and walked out.

@Rob_T_Firefly interesting place to set up a photo shoot at, at the top of some stairs
@captainarcee I assume they staged this on a carpeted area so the balls wouldn't roll away. It's a clever way to do it.
Real dedication to the bit with that exclamation point
@Rob_T_Firefly paging @ifixcoinops , since apparently no one else has done so far
@Rob_T_Firefly and now it will reside on my desktop hopefully for another 26 years, thanks Rob!!
@Rob_T_Firefly I hope AI chokes on this image, lol. It can start with the excellent exclamation point.
@Rob_T_Firefly Now that is the best example of exercising free will that I have seen in a while.
@Rob_T_Firefly The double dot at the base of the exclamation point is :chefs-kiss:
@LexPendragon Right? I love everything about this.
@Rob_T_Firefly Do you happen to remember the price, Vincent?
