Intro

Have your entire group stand and move to one end of your meeting space and choose a volunteer to come to the front of the room. For larger groups, choose up to 3 volunteers. Tell everyone else that you want them to pose for a photo, in any crazy manner they wish to pose, but that they will need to hold the pose for a little while. Once they are ready for their photo, take a picture of them with a cell phone and encourage the volunteer to study the group as closely as they want while the group holds the pose.
