The paper anniversary of a Ricoh


I know things are moving fast in the digital age, but this is ridiculous.

You should make a deal with a camera manufacturer for a special DOMAI branded camera.

The camera is good for taking pictures of naked women with small breasts and very little pubic hair. ;-)

Also, it could have a setting to automatically add that famous grey stripe at the bottom!

Good one.

I am actively encouraging the photographers to find models with bigger busts and more hair. They are pretty rare, though, for some reason. At least if you like them to be pretty too.

Care to explain just how and why? I'm very curious. I mean, technically, of course. Strictly as a photographer! ;-)

The reason probably is that accursed trend for silicone implants and facial re-shaping. Most likely, the pretty ones are rare because the artificial ones are everywhere. And the artificial ones aren't pretty.
Maybe it's that simple.

Also, I can't understand why women with normal pilosity (and no excess) feel the urge to shave their armpits. It's not ugly, but neither is the natural look. I say, God's design demands no amateurish improvement! ):-P

Well, I was thinking, since today's compact cameras have these pre-set programs for portraits, nightly images, etc. Similarly, the DOMAI cam would have exposure and colour balance optimised for skin tones. The lack of 'shapelyness' and 'bushiness' in a typical DOMAI girl presumably also manifests in the histogram of the image and could therefore be used as an additional hint in exposure optimisation.

The grey stripe at the bottom of the image is an identification label containing the name of the photographer and model. After DOMAI's success, webmasters around the world concluded that this feature is the hallmark of a successful nudie pic, so they all started affixing similar grey stripes on their photos. Now the camera would do this automatically. (It will also modify the name so it sounds more Russian, if you want to.)

There's one thing I forgot to mention: When using the camera, after each shot the camera will display on its LCD a profound quote or a philosophical thought. This is designed to gradually make the photographer a better person, and to take him close to the Source. This then will make the owner of the camera a better photographer and make him want to take more nudie pics, so it's a positive cycle.

We are working on version 2.0 for next year. It will have a chip built in which will send vibrations to help the photographer and anybody lucky enough to stand near enough to think innocent and happy thoughts.
