Shooter's Comments: So, this was truly wild and luck. Another slow news day, but that is okay. This is a good thing, to me at least. I went feature hunting.

First, I drove around Fort Wayne's south side, where I didn't find anything. Then, I thought, "I guess I will just go to Science Central to see if anything is going on."

Sure enough, I walked downstairs by the optical illusion mirrors because I have seen them there before and thought it would be a cool shot. I saw a grandpa with his granddaughter watching themselves in a wavy mirror. Funny, I thought, so I busted out my camera, and got my settings quickly because I didn't want to miss the opportunity.

I went over there, started shooting, told them to just carry on and they did. I thought the end result was pretty amusing.
