What's wrong with this picture ?

Okay... this is assumedly the last time you'll ever see myself and who is currently deemed to be the greatest all-around swimmer in the world (Michael Phelps) on the same swim-deck at the same time.

I worked as a timer at the American Short Course Championships a couple years ago, and I most likely polluted :-) the intent of someone's picture by being in the line-of-sight with Michael :-)

Michael is in middle of pic, with one foot on track-stand, goggles on, and blue cap with the "C" (of "CW", for "Club Wolverine") showing. I am over his left shoulder, recording the time of the swimmer in my lane (Brendan Hansen, World record-holder in 100m and 200m breaststroke).
