Do you know how they filmed the building climb of Safety Last? They built a building facade on the roof of a skyscraper, with a trampoline under the facade. When they tested it by throwing a dummy off the facade, the dummy landed on the trampoline and continued to bounce right off the side of the building! Harold went forward with the shoot after all that, what a brave guy!
Safety Last is awesome but my favorite is Grandma's Boy. The part where Lloyd and the bully eat mothballs is one of the funniest things I've ever seen!
double takes is a little corner of the web to share photography that deserves a longer look. photos that celebrate the whimsical, funny and graceful side of life. from portraits of favorite screen personalities, to bizarre yet alluring scenes, i hope these little pretty stories leave you feeling creative and inspired after every visit.

jess! years of internet searching and collecting. :)
molly! i didn't know that... fascinating!
I've got Lloyds 3D photography book of Nudes. Kinda cool but I'd have to saw he wasn't much of a photographer. Didn't have a good compositional eye.
