Would have been much funnier if done with real people. I couldnt get over the computer voice. It sounded like the old weather radios when the robot would come on. Amusing anyway...

That. Is. HILARIOUS! I'll have to forward that link to my sister, who does portrait sessions as a sideline. Why do I get the feeling that this might've been taken directly from an actual chat between a photographer and a potential client?

And... Text-to-Movie? THAT sounds like something I'll have to check out!

Glad you're all enjoying it. I should make one up of the one who wanted me to do pictures of her puppies and was playing the "name your own price" game with me, as well as insisiting that SHE owned the copyright of the photographs since they were HER dogs. What is it with the name your own price folks? Had another one that emailed me for pricing, then sent me back an email saying my prices were too high and she thought $50.00 was a fair price for 75 4x6's to put in her holiday cards. WTF???

"Speaking of fashion, do you have any colors in mind for clothing?"
"I would like for us to match our cat."

Priceless.

p.s.: "My mother will be there to take photos behind your back in case yours do not turn out."
