How not to ask for a free image for turtle conservation

:: Tags: , ,

I consider myself to be an active conservationist. I regularly donate time, photographs, and money to the conservation organizations I have relationships with, and I give images away to other organizations when I feel that the donation will have a positive effect. Of course, there is a limit to the amount of time I can spend giving away my work. If I give away too many, I not only compromise my own ability to continue to photograph wildlife, but I also contribute to making it difficult for hard-earned images of any kind to have value in the marketplace.

Over the past two days, I’ve had a rather unpleasant exchange with a guy I will refer to as Wayne out in Maui. I am not going to post his full name nor his affiliation unless he continues to antagonize me. (read more »)

A photo with Eric at DEMA

:: Tags:

Adam told me a funny story while we were en route back to San Francisco from Orlando. It went something like this:

At least four people came up to the booth and said, “It’s my goal to take a photo with you!”

I replied, “Are you sure?”

They said, “Yeah!”, and took a photo with me.

I asked, “Do you know who I am?”

They said, “You’re Eric Cheng!”

I said, “No, I’m Adam Lau!”

This sort of thing cracks me up to no end. Two DEMA shows ago, Kenji Ohmura of Fisheye kept being called Eric at the Wetpixel / DPG cocktail night. It was so entertaining that we now refer to each other by the other’s name. “Hello, Eric! Hello, Kenji!”

This year, I stacked the deck by bringing Adam. They had no chance.

Asian Teen Has Sweaty Middle-Aged-Man Fetish

:: Tags:

I heart The Onion.

AOMORI, JAPAN—At first glance, 17-year-old Misaki Nakajima seems like any other shy and submissive Japanese schoolgirl. She loves shopping, text messaging, and the color pink. But beneath her wholesome exterior lies a wicked secret: Misaki Nakajima is consumed by sexual fantasies involving sweaty, middle-aged American men.

The shy Japanese nymph enjoys fantasizing about fat fortysomethings with excessive neck and back hair.

“I can’t explain it,” said Nakajima, dressed in a pleated miniskirt and pure white knee socks. “There’s just something about American men who are at least twice my age and nearly three times my body weight that totally drives me wild.”

Added Nakajima, “They’re so hot.” [full article]

This is an advertisement, but it’s funny (if you’re a cat person). I have no idea why the company paid for an ad that has no relevance to their business, but I’m glad it was made. :) (thanks, Wendy)
