Photos: Legless artist trains camera on strangers

July 3, 2008 3:58 AM PDT

Kevin Connolly, a 22-year-old self-described "camera geek," is probably best-known for "The Rolling Exhibition." It's his series of digital photos that show strangers looking at him as he rolls by on his skateboard that he propels with his hands.

This picture was taken in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, as part of a series shot in burst mode as Connolly was skateboarding off the sidewalk and into a street. He shot behind his back with his Nikon D200 digital SLR while trying to dodge cars, including the moving car in the shot.

"I knew at that point that I had gotten the shot, and I don't think anyone besides me could have that exact shot," he said.
