CM photo Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Humorous in places and depressingly accurate. Worth watching - thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mitchell Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 After watching the video, I think that I finally understand what "lifestyle" images are, which alone was worth the price of admission. Also, I really liked the gentleman's accent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCat Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 And one of my questions has been answered. Every now and then Alamy says they want "American looking" people doing something. I think Vic has nailed the look -- a backwards baseball cap and a Hawaiian shirt. Paulette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Richmond Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Amusing video with more than a grain of truth. Thanks for creating and posting.

See you have 27 right now? It's only an ego-inflating thing, lots of people don't care. My greenie was just a small mark of appreciation of your humour from my part.
