Failed Promotional Shots
Over the past few years, we’ve had to take promotional shots for various reasons. As it turns out, the camera, the lighting, and composing the shot are the easy parts. Getting me to take a serious picture is the REAL challenge. I was just digging through some old shots and thought you might find it funny to see just a small sample of our “failed” promotional shots. I have no shame.

Nicole is a lucky, lucky lady!
Yeah massive FAIL
Oh Monk, I mean Marc, (remember that?) You are always good for a laugh!
omg…my newly healing surgery wounds are pissed at you cause of the LOL I just did. So funny :D Nicole- you got a hot mess of a catch on your hands!
I can see why some of those failed lol
The serious shot of you leaning on the table might have worked if you had been wearing a sleeveless t-shirt.
Funny stuff. I like #5, and #7 because they could almost be serious. I’m one for subtlety in comedy.
Dude, I printed out image 6 and made a poster for my shop wall. Is that wrong?
LOL nice I’m glad I’m not the only one ;)
How about I get some 8×10 glossies made up?
Haha, flames? :D
Dude, are you SURE you like girls?
I can promise you he does :P
I think the shirt says it all :D
Hey, if I had a free, custom, jacked-up, turbo-charged and tricked-out Powermatic like that, I’d be giddy too!! Drooool.
Marc! Cheryl says picture #6 should be of you NAKED! I mean, how much pride could you possibly have left. I like the “nerd” one myself.
One word – Sassy!
MAN!!! I love those shots… stuck a bunch all over the lawn and the moles are GONE!!! lol
Great sense of humor guys.
Your big thumbs-up is now by laptop background!
Hey, not so sure about the poses, but the shirt was juuuusssst right. LOL
So, ah, like which ones were the “failed” ones, eh?
I noticed you have the cast-iron legs and the blanchard ground top on your saw. I thought you had the standard black legs on there. Or was the the old saw?
Hey Kevin. Yeah that was the old one. This is a PM Custom from Wood Werks Supply.
My teenage daughter was looking over my shoulder and she squealed when photo #6 was displayed. She said “He’s cute, I like that picture!”
(Nicole, you better keep a tight hold on Marc’s leash! LOL)
Well, that’s all the approval I need. I found my new header image for the website!
I agree with Brian
Frightening on so many levels !!
All I thought of when I looked at picture #6 was I bet that outfeed table won’t work well at that height.
I don’t know about Marc the poser (although those are some sweet moves) but that is one Wicked Cool paint job on that tablesaw. I think generally in advertising the model is supposed to be prettier than the machine.
Nice costume change for the last shot!!
