Camera Guy Beatings
On The Rise – CoverUps.com
Terry Dempsey, 56, of Boca Raton, Florida, annoyingly laughs at the digital display of his fat wife (off-screen) while she poses with two male strippers.
Dempsey loves to take photos of his wife, Laura, in “tag-teams” with strange men. He is so camera happy that sometimes often gets beaten up as a result of his unusual hobby.

Worse, the former line between a camera, phone, GPS system (and even a freaking toaster) has now been blurred like a photo made with the wrong shutter setting. As a result, many poor amateur photographers are beginning to get the crap beat out of them for snapping pictures of every stupid object there is – like rocks, ants, mold, you name it. CoverUps exposes the phenomenon.
“We need to do something about this now,” said Eastman Borlak, a man who claims he is distantly related to the famous Eastman Kodak, except his great grandfather was illiterate repeatedly spelled their last name wrong, thus unknowingly cheated his offspring out of millions.
P.J. Shaw, 27, of Pittsburgh, PA, never leaves home without each of his his five cameras.
Here he snaps a picture of our CoverUps.com photographer, who then proceeded to beat him up for being so annoying. After all, how long can you tolerate somebody like this?
“The problem is just that people are taking thousands of pictures of boring, mundane crap that is completely out of focus and uninteresting,” Borlak said.
Borlak went on to paint a greater dour picture. “At the rate we are going – the Internet will be choked to death by poor amateurish photography. The digital camera has been the death knell of professional photography and it is catching up with his. Normally, I don’t condone violence – just when it has to do with getting rid of bad photographers.”
However, senior Harold Bauer, 68, uses his impressive array of ScanDisk chips to save just about everything he does on a daily basis. Borlak seems to be okay with this. He snaps about 3,000 pictures a day on the 1 Mega Pixel setting.
“Dementia runs in my family and so I have to be extra vigilant about remembering things,” he said. He then took our picture.
Bauer says he takes a picture of every place he goes during the day. He even took pictures of his own digital camera, he said. He was going to show us but forgot his log in the idea to his 'flickr' account.
Harold Bauer, 68, of Charlotte, NC, snaps thousands of pictures a day at the lowest resolution on his 7 megapixel camera.
Ever since, he got a 1 GB ScanDisk card at Best Buy, his relatives claim he has become distant.
Borlak said he has no problems with seniors pointing and shooting, but it gets to be a problem when they start uploading all those pictures. He plans to lobby congress for a bill requiring all seniors a limit of 32 MB memory cards. Borlak is also a senior photographer at AARP and feels that is plenty of digital space for silver-haired crowd.
We asked if we could take his picture for our story. He then chased us down the street with a baseball bat. Wish we could have gotten that picture!
