Scenario for writing a review
On July 5th, Blanco wakes up with a throbbing headache. He checks his email, and finds that the photographer, Emilio, has attached some pics he took at the event. Half excited and half anxious, Blanco opens the attachment, only to find that every picture has red eyes, the Armani logo on his suit is not visible, and his wife's gown magically changed color from white to cream. Furious, Blanco logs into ShutterConnect, to let the world know about the atrocities that have been committed against his person.
