They don't use a special filter.  It just comes out that way.  Really.

I had a couple of promo shots taken at work of some mac stuff I did.  I
asked the photographer, and he said that the screens show up blue for certain
types of color film.  Lo and behold, when the promo shots came back, the
screen was blue.

I also got $5 for signing a release, so I'm a professional model too... :')

A noun's a special kind of word.
It's ev'ry name you ever heard.
I find it quite interesting,
A noun's a person place or thing.
