Photographer Humor
The Wedding and Portrait Photographers International (WPPI) 2008 convention starts this week. I’d love to go, but I’m staying home working. In preparation for the convention, some members put together a series of hilarious videos.
Warning: Photographer humor is often nerd or geek humor. Many of us spend a lot of time drooling over cameras and lenses that cost as much as used cars. We can sit for hours and debate the merits of one file format over another, or talk about how many aperture blades a particular lens has. Our humor is often full of inside jokes and is likely to induce groans. If you’re not a photographer, there will likely be parts of the following that you just won’t get. That’s okay. You’ll enjoy it anyway. Consider yourself warned, though.
The back story to this is Joe Photo (yes, that’s the name he goes by) and Michelle Celentano, two well known photographers, hosted the awards dinner at the WPPI convention two years in a row. Last year, they didn’t. Joe was crushed. “Confessions of a Disgruntled Awards Night Host” tells the story.
Now, a year later, we find Joe, one of the top wedding photographers in the nation, working at a one hour photo place. Check out “Diary of a Washed Up Rock Star Wedding Photographer” – Episode 1.
If you enjoyed that, Episode 2 is here. Note: Episode 2 contains a bit of language; it’s mild, but enough to make me not want my four year old to hear it.
I’ll let you know when Episode 3 is released. Until then, enjoy!
