Walker Under The Bridge

I'm pretty sure this is how the special effects guys removed Gary Sinise's legs in Forrest Gump.

I don't normally go around snapping pictures of myself, but when I'm taking a lunchtime walk around the city with my camera and fate blocks my path with a mirror truck,  what can I do?

That's the Ben Franklin Bridge in the background, by the way, and there's a guy eating his lunch in that car behind me. Not the most scenic place to enjoy lunch.

I might look like I'm concentrating like a real photographer, but that look really comes from the confusion mirrors cause my simple mind. If I move the camera this way, why does it goes that way?
