AMERICA - FALL OF THE GREAT AMERICAN EMPIRE OR DESCENT TO THIRD COUNTRY STATUS?

I finally got angry enough today to start writing this.

What's wrong with this great country?

Try MORALITY.

After weeks of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Wiener and finally,this week,the disrespect shown to women by Justin (what's his name anyway, Timberlake?) at the MTV Awards,where he gropped his stage mate,Mila Kunis,and her behavior was no better. They should be ashamed of themselves.

I have finally had it with the stupid question "What's wrong in this country?"

The people we should be looking up to,politicians,and so called celebrities (most of whom are so talentless) have shown us how dumb they really are.

Why this disgusting behavior? How about publicity and money-and I place most of the blame on the media.

It seems that bad behavior,sexual adventures and total disrespect,especially towards women translates into big bucks for the media and the talentless bunch of celebrities and politicians they pander to.

What people see in the media, makes this kind of behavior seem desirable and glamorous, and the stupids in this country, of course try to emulate this way of life.

As for Washington's politicians, I, for one, sure as hell do not want to be represented by this bunch of self serving, power and money grabbing, immoral gang of idiots.

Toss them all out, no second chances just because they apologize or appear to be sorry for their behavior.

I have to believe that there are some decent people out there who could represent us and who we can really look up to.

As to the GOP,and especially Eric Cantor,the Tea party and the rest of the cowards in the Gop, who pander to the Tea party,you are the most ignorant bunch of people I have ever come across.

The majority of people in this country are the middle class and the poor and disenfranchised not the rich.

How dare you put the burden of this country's deficit on the backs of these people,when you well know that the economic problems this country faces are the result of eight years of the Bush administration and the GOP.

All you politicians are interested in is money,your own well being, bribes from special interests and cementing your power in government.

Grow up, wise up and do something for the people of this country.

PHOTOGRAPHY IN ADVERTISING YOUR PRODUCT

THE ECONOMY,SMALL BUSINESS,ADVERTISING & PHOTOGRAPHY
A few personal thoughts after the last three years of economic crisis when small businesses have suffered financially.
What have they cut back on to survive?Staff, brutal layoffs!And next ADVERTISING.The result: people out of work,loss of revenue by small business because of lack of visibility in the market place.The ultimate success of any business or endevour depends on potential buyers or clients actually seenig or being informedof the existence of that business.
I have noticed over the last year that my own efforts to promote my photography businesshave started to pay off.
The majority of my clients find me through the internet search engines.The aim of any promotional website is to achieve a top 10 page rank for particular search keywords.But how to achieve this position without spending thousands of dollars with an SEO Company.
My initial answer was Google AdWords.I immediatelly started to get responses.However, AdWords still cost over $200.00 per month.
I then started to work on my website. I began to understand how to structure the source code so search engines would list me ,at least, on the first or top of the 2nd. page search.
When I started to get the search results that I needed I was able to drop AdWords and save that monthly fee.
In this technological age,where most small business seems driven through the internet or TV,an ineresting thing happened to mt photography business.Over the many years I have worked as a photographer,I had always been known as a people ,celebrity and lifestyle photographer.I suddenly found that I was getting calls to shoot product (which had been a small part of my business).I guess that as a fledgling photographer with Vogue Magazine I was required to learn all types of lighting,from fashion to beauty to sets to product.
The lesson I have learned lately is that if you wnt to be seen in the market place you must promote yourself or your business.So, bite the bullet, set aside a little money and use it to promote and advertise.
The results may surprise you!
