Gary Fong: The Wedding Photography Guru

• 1:03:26Gary Fong made astronomical money as a wedding photographer by inventing collage-style albums that clients didn't want to take apart.
• 1:04:14The real audience for Gary Fong's business model was other photographers, not couples.
• 1:04:33Tim paid $300 for Fong's DVD set years ago from his website.
• 1:04:44Fong sold plastic dome diffusers for $50 that photographers could make from Chinese food containers.
• 1:05:25Tim discovered better wedding photographers after buying Fong's DVDs but acknowledges Annie Leibowitz would be overkill.
• 1:05:50Tim was a good party photographer when he was fat, then lost weight and got slower but still decent at shooting.
• 1:06:38Tim accidentally body-checked a grandmother at a bar mitzvah during the candle lighting ceremony and knocked her down hard.
• 1:07:09Wedding guests now waste ten minutes taking cellphone photos instead of letting the professional photographer work.
• 1:08:59Gary Fong looks like David Icke giving lectures, and Tim believes being a good salesman matters more than being a good photographer.
• 1:09:20Tim awkwardly sold his album designs to couples, offering to make them cheaper if they wanted changes.
