This is the perfect example of why you should never sell a stock image where you’re doing anything embarrassing.  Here I am, digging for gold (picking my nose), featured at a busy international tradeshow blown up at poster size.  Yeah, my mother would be proud.

Gigabyte, a Taiwan based computer company, used myself as well as a few others in an ad campaign geared towards their dockable notebooks.  The point was supposed to be that it gets better once you “stick it in” to its dock.  I can’t say that I think it’s the best marketing concept, but I definitely got a huge laugh out of it :)

When you post an image up for sale that you don’t think will be used, chances are… someone just might find a way!

I still think I had the best technique in the series :lol: :roll:

I later found out from another person that the same ad of me picking my nose was plastered on a huge billboard, on the side of a building in Taipei.  Wow, my shining 15 minutes of fame, glory and honor!  My parents always knew I’d grow up to amount to something special :) hahahahahaha!
