Not very PC, but definitely kitsch. As uncomfortable as it might make
some, it's well done.

After looking at it a little more, I decided, what the heck. So
here's a PESO.
Keeping in line with the commonly accepted definition of kitsch:
something that appeals to popular or lowbrow taste and is often of
poor quality
Mind you, I frequent Starbucks several times daily, Walmart weekly,
and McDonald's when life is not worth living.
I give you: "Corporate America".

Herb,
I don't mean this personally, but in my experience, it's definitely
the one who pushes the release that makes the difference, not the
equipment although I've been told a few times that my images were
pushing the limits of my equipment (with Pentax lacking a tilt/shift
lens).

i spend a lot of time studying my competition, their techniques,
and what they deliver. i know just how hard it is to make those
shots with my equipment, and i know just how many more shots my
shooting acquaintances make with their non-Pentax equipment that
cost about the same as mine. i also know what those who have more
advanced equipment are delivering. i'm buying some non-Pentax
equipment in the next couple of weeks to enable that. not doing so
is becoming more and more foolish. for the time being, i'm not
selling any Pentax equipment except possibly really low end stuff i
barely ever used, just in case the right Pentax body does show up
sooner than later. the soonest i can imagine is sometime next
summer to actually have one in hand. i can't wait that long.

It's amazing how many people can't see that when technology makes
something possible, that technology will be used, standards go up,
and you either adopt the technology or find another line of work.
Using their logic, Danica Patrick would have placed just as well
in a 1960s era McLaren.
