For anyone who thinks that everything in the photography business has "already been done', I offer this guy's idea and site: http://www.floridasunr​ises.com/ (external link)

Just shows that all it takes is some imagination . . .

This makes a point that has been argued quite a bit in other posts: marketing trumps quality!

This just looks like very average work - below average, actually. But it's a unique marketing idea, and the dude will probably make some money from it.


"Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"They're", "their", and "there" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"Fare" and "fair" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one. The proper expression is "moot point", NOT "mute point".

And that must be the very best one, right? It's scary to think of what the others look like.

Someone will be along in a minute to defend his "business" model. He might be doing it for non-monetary reasons :-)

No matter what his reasons are, he is violating a standard code; if you're going to do something, do it with excellence.

Nothing wrong with stepping out of the box and trying something new. If it fails, the experience might be of full value in his next venture. It sure beats a lot of you PROS constantly complaining about the way your market is being eroded by MS, weekend warriors etc..., sitting on your high stools reminiscing about the way "real" photography used to be.

Not a new/unique idea.

I've seen a few people here in Australia doing it, and well before this mob started in '04.
