A long, drifting Monday.com ad read structured as an interview with Ray about his failed Raycon Photography business — sweating through bar mitzvahs, cheap rates, smelly shoes complaints, and accidentally knocking over an elderly woman while taking a photo.
- Ray started a photography business called Raycon Photography and shot Sweet 16s and bar mitzvahs.
- Tim explains Ray's main problem: he wouldn't send clients their pictures after getting paid.
- Ray says he also sweated heavily during the parties, which turned people off.
- A complaint emerged at one Bar Mitzvah about Ray's shoes smelling, though Ray insists he had bathed.
- Ray sometimes hired friends to hold lights for him at events.
- Ray met prospective clients at pizza places on Long Island to pitch his wedding photography services.
- Ray charged around $300 per wedding, working 12 to 14 hour days at roughly $30 an hour.
- Old people at the weddings appeared visibly enraged, though the kids seemed confused and parents were indifferent.
- Ray knocked over an old woman who was trying to photograph the cake from behind him.
- When Ray collected payment after knocking over the woman, the client simply handed him money with no tip.
- Ray received tips about 25% of the time from his wedding photography clients.
