Engineering in Russia"Me famous?

When most people think of Russia, they think of "Red Square" which contains Lenin's Tomb and Saint Basil's Cathedral; knowing this, I took advantage of the situation. Since I'm an aspiring guitarist and amateur photographer, I took the liberty of using the cathedral as a backdrop for a picture of me and my axe guitar. This proved to be an interesting photo shoot because some Russian passerbys thought I was some famous guitarist and started taking my picture as well. I was a little embarrassed, but in a way enjoyed the attention."
