A few Christmases ago I got the hubs (or myself?) the GorillaPod by Joby. I think we've used him once before. Sadly, he's usually hiding in our junk drawer. At the last minute before we left the house, I had the foresight to bring him along thinking he might just come in handy. And boy, was I right! This little gadget can attach to everything! I'm so in love with him that he's gone from inanimate object to part of the family.
I don't know what we would have done without him. Probably the ol' "extend the arm out as far as you can facebook profile pic" method. Something like this...
But, because of our handy little GorrillaPod, we were able to get some great "professional-looking" shots all on our own. Thanks, GorillaPod. (Cue Thumbs-Up pose. Cut. Print.)
