I can't remember whose signature it was, but my personal favorite is:

"It's my job to make you look good. Intelligence, however, is up to you."

Something along those lines.

One that Ihate with a passion: "You can fix it in post." Usually a total lie just to cover a bonehead mistake in the field. I fired a guy for saying it while shooting a commercial for a car dealership.

Er...thanks, but the correct quote is:

"I've carried more BEAUTY queens than most parade floats."

That said, how about a very simple "I, Photog"

I think after this we need a "Favorite Lines from Lenslinger" thread - but I digress.

One that I've yet to see used, but a great line nonetheless:
"Yet another sudden jaunt into The Great Unknown - all for a few fleeting moments of pixilated gossip." ~Lenslinger

"For those in front of the camera, the word "talent" is used loosely."

One of my favorites that I saw on someone else's profile...

"Television is a medium; because it is neither rare, nor well-done."

Heard this one about 15 years ago from the legendary Tom Watson at 'CAU in Philly:

"Hey, do it thier way...you'll make more money."

Tom, I listened and my ex-wife's bank account thanks you.
