About This Item

Phoon For Them

Check out the website www.phoons.com where you will find lots of photos of people phooning and some history about the phenomenon.   If you’ve never phooned before, try it, take a photo, it’s fun.  If you are usually shy about adding photos of yourself in your logs, don’t worry.  A phoon photo does not have to be a close up.  In fact, it is usually a distant shot of a landscape or a structure, with you phooning somewhere in the frame.  When doing a true phoon, you shouldn’t be looking at the camera, so you can add a photo of yourself phooning and still remain completely anonymous.  Pictures of people phooning usually make me laugh, because it is such a silly thing.  Add some silliness to your caching fun and ENJOY! 
P.S.  I’ve added some photos of myself, phooning, so you can get the idea.
 
How to do the phoon:

  1. Stand sideways to the camera. (A Phoon is always viewed from the side.)
  2. Bend your arms at the elbows. (Look like an athletic runner, not a ballerina.)
  3. Lift your rear elbow (not your hand) so that it is easy to see behind your back.
  4. Lean forward at the waist. This will help you look more energetic and will help you lift your rear ankle.
  5. When possible, do not look at the camera and do not smile.
  6. Either arm can be the rear arm. Either leg can be the rear leg.
