	Dorothy's Question	Dorothy wants to know how you take a picture with a camera.
	The Noodle Family	Mr. Noodle tries to take Elmo's picture with a banana before the Kids instantly transport to him an old-time camera with a large flash bulb. He succeeds in taking Elmo's picture after he wets his fur down with saliva, but doesn't have as much luck with the Cheese who was camera shy!

Notes

• A character resembling Dr. Bunsen Honeydew can be seen in the background in the crowd gathered in the football arena.
• The segment was considered for Kinect Sesame Street TV season 2, but Curriculum Specialist Sue Scheiner recommended against it. It was deemed dated, citing the flashbulb camera used by Mr. Noodle, the girl in the film spot taking photos to be developed, and the lack of camera phones.
