jeffrey_abelson Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 I went to my boxing gym for a lunch hour workout - and one of the rings was blacked out and I discover there a Vogue covershoot going on - I recognized the photog but I can't remember his name - anyway, aside from the fact that I was totally distracted from my workout, I went to check out the setup - it was a 645 with digital back, hooked into a Mac work station, with a Broncolor pack and one 20-inch beauty dish very high on a stand and two heads with red gels. I looked at the photographer and said "that's nice gear you got there," and he looked at me like I was nutz - and then I realized there were all these Ford models around around with barely any clothes!

EricM Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 this was really anti-climatic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffrey_abelson Posted May 21, 2004 Author Share Posted May 21, 2004 "this was really anti-climatic" I forgot to mention that the models all got naked when it got too hot under the lights and fell in a heap in the middle of the ring... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffrey_abelson Posted May 21, 2004 Author Share Posted May 21, 2004 "this was really anti-climatic" No, what I meant to say is that photographer was seized with sudden doubt - it went like this: "I can't do it anymore - I just can't - is there another photographer in the house? A real one?" I thrust down my boxing gloves and pushed through the ropes, grabbing up the camera and snapping hot Ford sexpots like a mad man. Then, what's his name from Conde Nast came over and said, "I could use a man like you - low starting salery, only $125,000, but if you work hard you'll get a $100,000 by next month. My first assignment is in South America - International Brazillian Waxing contest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andre_noble3 Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 Under the circumstances, "That's nice gear you got there." could easily have sounded like "That's a nice rear you got there." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
