Conversation with The C in the US of A

The Cuz and I had our first real conversation today.
(I kid you not. The Cuz is a boy of very few words.)

Pam Song: how's the US of A treating you, cuz?

Anarchistry: it's good here,thanks. :-D eh i need some help for ideas.

Pam Song: -_- no wonder the big smile.

Anarchistry: lol. i'm taking a photojournalism class, so I have to sell a product in the most creative way.

Pam Song: uh... okayyyy. so where do I come in?

Anarchistry: so i'm gonna use my guitar, do you have any ideas?

Pam Song: ok. here's the deal. I help you, you help me. heh.

Anarchistry: k k

Pam Song: go take a picture of the guitar in the rain. (or fake it. like the rain is IN FRONT of the space your guitar is at.) It's like... the guitar allows you to sing in the rain. sorta that kind of concept. you go and improvise lah. another would be you can take pictures of the guitar's bridge, middle and neck pickup from a lower angle. So you see a micro shot of the strings that sit on the three pickups. if you can, align the strings so you only see the start of it. BUT... you can see all three pickups. a little hard to explain but i hope you get what i'm saying. another would be... "twin peaks". Take another close up of the volume and tone knobs in a way where they look like two mountains or hills next to each other perhaps? gotta try it out to see if it works. and you can do a totally party shot. like... many many colourful ribbons and paper cut outs. present it like it's a party guitar. another one you can just play with light. put your guitar on a stand or something, with the light directly behind the body. when the sun sits right, snap like there's no tomorrow and take the best shot. it should look like a silhouette of your guitar only. another would be to put your guitar on a glass table, crawl under the table and shoot parts of it from the bottom. Message could be: Perfect from any angle. (or something like that.) Another could be... you sit down and you lean your guitar on your shins. the curves beside the neck should fit your legs either at the knees or just below it. The message is: Made for you. OR... The perfect fit. Summore... if you can find a super geeky guy, you shoot him in a super rocker pose with the guitar. Message: everybody has a little bit of rock/metal (whatever the genre) in them. And then you can find a baby. Have the child stand right next to the guitar looking up to it. message: age is just a number. OR... Fender (whatever the brand) users always knew they wanted one.

Anarchistry: oh yeah i see. nice nice. thanks a lot. erm, i wanted a toy that can come alive, spaceship, arcade room.

You know what? I think I got the raw end of the exchange, dammit! My cousin, the con artist. Ahh, I so love the workings of Family. =)


p/s: Feel free to leave a comment if you've got any other ideas to help the boy out with his assignment, alrights? Thanks. (SEE HOW MUCH I CARE FOR YOU, P'SHUN JIE???)
