Going Up or Down?

I was thinking of doing an ‘Elevator Dare’ for a while. Actually i did one a couple years ago but the photo sucked, plus i had not had the nerve to actually get into the elevator. I will admit, this photo was taken in the residential building where i live. There are 160 condo units in this building and i refuse to take the elevator up or down. If it were a hotel where no one knew me i might try that. But too many people know me here as i have been living here ten years. I could get into real bad trouble if i came face to face with a neighbor. I did call the elevator in the wee hours of the morning and had the camera ready to shoot. The door opened and i jumped out of my shorts snapped the self timer on the camera and entered the elevator. I was still frightened that someone might be taking their trash to the trash shoot or that a dog walker might be heading out with their pooch. Dog walkers are so unpredictable time wise. They would have to walk right thru the elevator lobby here on the third floor to get to the trash shoot and would have caught me in the act. I must say, it’s not cool to do these dares where you live, but i took a chance.
