Text in Spanish reads “The Magic of Fantasy”. This was in my spam folder today. From some Mexican photographer who offered to “tell my story through image”. If all his finished products are as hilarious and terrible as the example he sent, I am not surprised he needs to spam random people to try and attract customers.

On second thought, I could see myself in a photoshopped image with that cartoon donkey on the right. You should see the image he attached with a similarly aesthetic montage to promote his services for Quinceañeras (the Latina equivalent of Sweet Sixteen). I thought my Quinceañera album was the worst that kitsch photography had ever produced. It looks like I was wrong.

For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you.  Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
