The following is my attempt at Photography Humour, or rather “funny stuff for people with cameras”.
Sure, you could argue that I should’ve been working… and you’d be right. But when you’ve got my brain and you have as many ideas as I have per minute, [i]you[/i] try keeping it all together and not acting on the impulse to make something funny that a grand total of twelve people will pay attention to. It’s not about the quantity… it’s about the quality…
…even if this lacks both.
Anyway, this was written in 20 minutes (lyrically, since it’s a parody of Bobby Brown’s “On Our Own”) and recorded & edited in 2 hours. I go out of tune a lot since Bobby Brown is not my part of my vocal range, but hopefully you like it. And if not… well… you didn’t pay for it so don’t be concerned. I even had to edit a Midi file that I found to make it play the full song since I could only find a sample. If I could find an instrumental of it, I’d have used that… but I couldn’t so it sounds even sillier.

[i]Yeah
You want something shot?
You gotta shoot it yourself
Yeah I think this is gonna need a lot of curves
Frame now, Click click click!
If I was you, and you were me, you’d wanna be chimping
If you wanna take their picture, you gotta fill a big card
Cause I believe that they will want to get the shots bigger
If you know as much as I do you’re gonna want to get it all
Now I find out that nothing is ready
Don’t know where the light will fall
All I know is that we have gotta take it
We’ve gotta shoot it on our own
Well I guess we’re gonna have to shoot it RAW
(all in RAW)
If the shot is dark we’ve got to take it home.
(all in RAW)
Now can’t you see the sun is up and the room is lit better
Gotta make your own decisions, Two-hundred I S O
There comes a time when you’re shooting live you wanna be better
Gotta keep on exposing, learning how to shoot it RAW
Now I find that the model is an ugly
Don’t know where the chin will fall
All I know is that we have gotta take it
We’ve gotta shoot it on our own
Well I guess we’re gonna have to shoot it RAW
(all in RAW)
If the shot is dark we’ve got to take it home.
(all in RAW)
Gotta gotta take it home, Photoshop it when we get it home.

RAP
Too quick for NR, too slow for Low
You got photographers who are in control
They were taking candids of people on the beach
Now they’re over in a studio shooting the rich
So they got all their shit, got a lens, they’re equipped
But they forgot their flash, now they’re the studios bitch
Found out about the client whose product is evil
Trying to beat my togs? That’s not legal
(All in RAW) Shooting RAW
(All in RAW) Y-Y-Ya know it
(They’re shooting RAW)
I said they’re shooting RAW
(All in RAW) Non-compressed
(All in RAW) Still the best
(They’re shooting RAW)
I said they’re shooting RAW
Well I guess we’re gonna have to shoot it RAW
(all in RAW)
If the shot is dark we’ve got to take it home.

It even featured a special guest… my imaginary evil twin, [b]Evil Leigh[/b]! He’s an imaginary hip-hop star. He goes on imaginary gang-bangs and he just got out of imaginary prison for imaginary manslaughter one… so you don’t want to get in his way, real or imaginary.
