Rugged Ragz (RR), a new clothing company for men, is blitzing the world with print ads featuring hunks in extreme situations. Unfortunately, RR is on a shoestring budget. They couldn’t afford to hire a model who would actually stand on hot lava, so they hired a cute techie guy who would pose in front of a green scene and then could photoshop himself into some stock photos of volcanos, war zones and New York City traffic scenes. Esquire is calling this media stunt mind bending.
Here you see Kirk Moss, adventure photographer, captured in his final moments. Just seconds later, he was swept away by the tornado you see in the background, only to be deposited in the boiling lava bubble. We will remember you fondly, Kirk.
SAY CHEEESE!!
He is saying hi to a friend, and will only realize the tour group is missing when he turns around!!!!!
There was something quite unsatisfying about being a grip on the set of the 1998 movie “What Dreams May Come.” Maybe it was Robin Williams?
The man had a mission – and it was to get him the babes. Rayne Parker was a one-man volcano of sensuality, and his online dating photo had to prove it. Not being one for half measures, Rayne climbed a volcano in Hawaii and had his manservant, Nigel, take a snap of him in a manly pose with a camera of his own. Upon returning home, Rayne put the picture on his profile and changed his tagline to: “I really am burning for you… here’s the proof”. His responses tripled overnight.
Dazed and confused, Reggie stumbled away from the burning hole. The sand people had killed his mother and, though he knew the dark side was strong, he decided to exact his revenge. This is the aftermath.
Biff muttered darkly to himself as he watched the molten lava of the volcano advance towards him and the waves whip up in the ocean: “There’s gotta be a better way to make a living – posing for the covers of bodice-rippers is getting to be a bit dangerous!”

There it was: the final shot. Frank’s last shot after a long year. He bathed in the feelings of relief and exhaustion. Here he was, capturing his final image for the biggest movie project ever undertaken…by anyone…ever. But would it make it into the final cut? Damn that CGI crap!
Frank swung around just in time to see his assistant snapping the picture. Oh sweet Mordor.
Bob bought Photoshop. Bog figured he was going to make a million bucks from National Geographic. Bob didn’t. Bob got depressed. Now Bob’s doing a 5 to 10 for narcotics possesion.
Frowning thoughtfully, Richard watches the display of a burning house-boat, balls of flames erupting into the smoke filled sky. “Perhaps they meant only two candles in ‘Modern Dating for Dummies..’” Storing that mental note to the back of his hunkie-sized brain, he turns to the tripod beside him.. “Maybe I should’ve grabbed my wallet instead.”
Jerry was given the choice of two assignments. One, climb to the top of an active volcano, breath sulphuric acid, melt your shoes to the soles of your feet, and potentially die. Two, shoot topless supermodels on the beach in Maui. Jerry is now questioning his decision-making paradigm.
Sunbathers flock to the Hawaii islands in search of the perfect tan Today, the Hawaiian Department of Tourism has taken tanning to a whole new level. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park has endeavored on a bold initiative to prolong tanning and increase revenue. The newest rage on the Big Island: Volcanic Tanning. From sunset to sunrise tourists and locals alike can pursue their dream of the perfect tan. Mark, our photography intern, is seen here getting ready for his first volcanic tanning experience*. (*CAUTION: MOLTEN LAVA CAN OCCASIONALLY CAUSE IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO THE EPIDERMIS)
Unaware that the cruise ship behind him had been bombed by the Russian maffia, Joe poses for a picture just seconds before the shoreline exploded in flames.
Where was the photographer? Jake wondered to himself. There was a camera, but no photographer behind it. As he walked towards it, he could see how close the camera was to the cliff’s edge. As an avid Hawaiian hiker, he knew that during an active volcano, cliffs tended to quite frequently break off into the ocean… could that be the photographer’s fate?
After years of travelling and searching for the perfect footage of a real volcanic erruption, Dave finds himself on Iceland’s west coast. He decides to set his self timing camera up to take a couple of snapshots of himself. Moments later, he turns to find he missed all the action. Again. ‘Note to self – Gotta stop being such a poser while at work!’
It’s an advertisement for lightweight yet heavy duty tripods.
“Being ready at all times is important to John Doe, travel photographer, but more important is having the right gear for the job. While on travel assignment for National Geographic, John encounters the deathliest of volcanoes on top of Mount Fire. It’s a good thing he has his Gizmo tripod handy. When it comes to unbelievable shots in unbelievable places – Gizmo tripod is the only gear you need.
Camera Guy : “Dude, just hold on ONE more second!”
Frodo : “I gotta throw this ring into the crack NOW!”
Camera Guy : “Hold on! I just gotta set the… thingy.”
Frodo : “C’mon, man!”
Camera Guy : “Don’t you want to be in my blog?”
Frodo : “…….”
Camera Guy : “I thought so.”
Inspired by the beauty of the moment, Hunter chose to come out to his fellow geologists as they watched his heroic photo essay on YouTube. Most impressed of all was Ross, Hunter’s long-time videographer, who harbored many unspoken feelings which he was able to share subsequent to wrapping the shoot. Hawaii proved to be an inspirational destination for Hunter’s entire survey team
This is the latest staged photograph scene for visitors to Disney’s new roller coaster “Hell Fire and Vocano Adventure.”
In a mad and inspiring merging of literary favorites, Dorothy’s dimension-transporting tornado swept up Middle Earth’s “Eye of Sauron” and transported it through myth and into reality. Tourists seeking out the new Sauron hot spot no longer have to traverse miles of non-yellow-bricked mountain passages to see this amazing site in Mordor. Now, tourists from all over can come to this guy’s [Mark Ushmont, photographer] back yard to melt their gold and other precious metals. And what does Mark have to say about this new tourist destination, magically sprung up in his backyard? “It’s cool, man. I get some serious dough taking ‘photos with Sauron’s eye’ and all. I just gotta remember to close the curtains when I’m changing. Dude, this thing sees, like, everything.”
This is an ad for the amazing tripod transformer. A tripod when needed AND roasting sticks for hot dogs and marshmallows, camera: optional.
I better get out of here while I still have some hair left on my body. Hot buns anyone?
Matt can’t remember if he stomped out his cigarette before he and long time girlfriend Leslie finished their hike through the lush and green wilderness of the Blue Ridge Mountains. They can’t wait to get back here one day, camping under hundred year old oak and black walnut trees, to see how all the animals just run and run. Ah, the beauty of nature.
The guy in the picture’s name is Ron. He invented a time machine and went back in time to when Moses was in front of the red sea and and Pharaoh was behind him. Since he went back in time WITH his camera, he took a picture in front of the burning wall of fire (unfortunately the smock doesn’t allow to the people below, but they’re there!) Ron thought it would make him famous in every sense of the word until ONLY his camera went to the year 2008 and he got stuck way back time…. “HEY! Moses! Wait for me!…..”
