"The world is my studio. I just completed my online photography degree. I don't actually own a camera, but I can use yours. That way you get to leave the shoot with your completely un-retouched photos in hand, and I forfeit all rights to the images. In a sea of so-called professional photographers with fancy Canon DSLR's and photoshop, that really sets me apart. Remember, just because someone can afford an expensive camera, that doesn't make them a photographer. "

OMFG!! :D

    "That includes pictures on train tracks, pictures sitting on a loading dock, and pictures in front of an old brick wall at no additional charge!"
    That's oddly specific. The lower part of my walls are brick, but the top is vinyl siding. Do I still qualify for the promotion?

    I always visit that site... some are pretty funny, although I sometimes question the authenticity of the photos because they're just awful (too awful to be authentic.. :D)

    HAHA! You nearly had me.
    I thought it was real till I read the ad and saw the example pics.
    Someone is having a lend of the suckers out there with even less sence than they are willing to part with dollars.
    The example shots are pretty funny but I don't get the plant one? Maybe thats just a dig at those who put that sort of thing in folios expecting that someone will pay to have a pic of a plant taken like that.

    Might wake a few people up to themselves so well done I say!
