Outa Your Face Advertising

Call this a Rant.  Call me crazy if you want. Here's what I'm going to do:

                                                  OUTA YOUR FACE ADVERTISING

There's money in advertising, I know.  I want some, too.  It helps pay bills.  That'd be nice.

People come here to look at pictures and some of them read.  That's why I put stuff here.

If they think anything like I do, they don't want to see IN YOUR FACE ADVERTISING, like:

Pop-ups saying "YOU WON !"   "THIS IS NO JOKE"  "YOU ARE THE 100,000th VISITOR !"

Or,  Meet Russian, Chinese, Swiss Chocolate, French Maid, Beautiful, Single, Girls, NOW !

College Degrees Online,  Cheap Flights, Boat Rides, Hotels, Property, Massages, anywhere !

My plan is to have absolutely no advertising on this page.  I'll be moving what little I have here already off the page to my Advertising Department. That's going to take people who really can't wait to go shopping somewhere else. I will only have 1st class advertising, like products I would recommend or use myself.  I'll even do product reviews but, it will be on a different site, not here  where it distracts people who came to read and look at pictures, from reading and looking at pictures.

Please bear with me.  This will take me awhile.  There's no need to keep clicking on my Advertising Department to see the Outa Your Face Advertising because there's nothing there, yet. I have to get some gurus to help me organize it first.  I'll let you know when it's ready.

The way I figure, even if I don't make anything from Outa Your Face Advertising, it'll only be about twice what I'm not making already.  Does that make any cents (Spelchek, Shh !) to you?

Ryukyu King, Queen and Royalty: How I Spent My Day

You don't just jump into these sorta things. I learned about it the hard way in previous excursions to the big city. So, today when I went to the King and Queen's Coronation Ceremony in Naha Okinawa I hob-knobbed with the Royalty a little bit before I tried to get close to the big shots.

The guy with no socks and a real beard would be me. I got another cameraman to press the shutter release on my camera. Only he didn't wait for me to fix my hair or anything else.

Once all the dignitaries got used to me hanging around it was fairly easy to sneak through the crowds and capture this photo of the King.

It's actually a Reenactment Coronation Ceremony and the King and Queen are college students playing the roles.

My favorite part of the whole day was snapping the shutter when the Queen had her eyes just where I like them.

Even when rude people popped into my frame with their toy cameras, I didn't mind too much. 

I just hollered "Son of a samwich" a couple of times and people backed away from me.

The inconsiderate individuals could be PhotoShopped out if I was willing to pay someone. Then we could rent the space for advertising, I guess.

I'm going back Sunday to let the King and Queen choose their favorite photo and I'll give them each one for free. I bet, being Royalty, they probably aren't interested in any advertising money.

Really, it wasn't a bad day. How was your Wednesday, any better?

Shot Myself Today !

This isn't what I usually do but it was freezing cold outside and

 I was trapped indoors.  I felt like a wild animal must feel stuck in a cage.  So, I took my cameras to my office and practiced shooting myself.

Really, I'm not into doing studio shots or any kind of indoor photography but, unfortunately, I have to.  It's part of this school I'm involved in and if I don't finish all my homework and graduate this year there's no telling what they might do to me.

Can they still drag you up in front of the whole class and whack your fanny with the BOARD OF EDUCATION?

That probably got outlawed in the last century, but, I'm not sure because I haven't been back to the USA in awhile.  I hear they have lots of lawyers making people behave and if anyone hurts you they promise to get you millions of dollars as long as you'll split it with them 50/50.

Somebody told me a fat lady spilled her coffee in her lap at a Drive-thru joint and got Six Million Dollars.  Is that true?

Well, anyway, I'm a Grandpa and I don't think I should have to do homework unless it's something that interests me.  Portraits, advertising, and fashion; they're all things I have to shoot to graduate from the professional camera school.  I'll do what I have to do and get it done.  And when I do, I'll go get my....

Millions the hard way, I'll work for them!
