The Pentax Truck: Clever Advertising...Or???

It was after 4pm. The show was over.
All the booths were in the process of being
taken apart. I decided to leave the Jacob Javits
Convention Center, when lo and behold...the Pentax Truck
still had a display on the street!! Apparently, they
tried to get one up on the competition, all of whom
had to pack their bags promptly at 4pm.

Pentax. One of the greatest names in the history of photography.
And THE brand of choice for Frank BOSCODAMUS,
the man whom this gallery is dedicated to.

Pentax. Now in a fight for its life in the do-or-die digital age,
against the big guns.

I thought to myself...Is this "Clever Advertising?"
Or is it a case of "Desperate people do desperate things???"

Sorry Frankie! :-)

Well spotted Sam. +V

Interesting that three people there have Nikon bags! But, seriously I went to an exhibition of the famous Japanese photographer Mitsuhiko Imamori in Kyoto and the two of his cameras on display there were a Pentax 67 (medium format) and Pentax K10D.
