Been getting messages from Facebook here and there, time and again, for an account that I deactivated a long time ago. Having no intention to ever activate it again… since it was a mistake and I had my other account which I actively use, I looked to see if there was some way to delete the old account… completely. Not just deactivate it, but totally zap it out of existence forever.
Do you want to delete your Facebook account? Zap it out of existence once and for all? Facebook sure doesn’t make it easy to find, since they would rather keep you hanging around in the hopes that you’ll reactivate later. They make their DEACTIVATE button easy to find, but it’s the DELETE ACCOUNT button that they’ve kinda kept out of view. But, your favorite Maui web designer has found the way.
Before you decide to officially delete your account, there are a couple things you should do first:
Before You Go:
If you have used this account for any external website sign-ins, like Pandora, be sure to deactivate those, or change your sign-in info to something you want. If you don’t, it’ll keep your account active.
If you want to use the email address that you currently use for this soon-to-be-deleted account, be sure to change it to something else before deleting the account. That way, you can use that email address when/if you open up a new account.
If you have Facebook fan page, group or application only administered by your current account, be sure to transfer the admin rights to a different account. If you don’t need them, simply delete your Facebook fan page, group or application before you delete your current Facebook account.
And now for the steps to take to delete your account. It’s a simple process. Once you delete your account, there is a two week period before Facebook puts it into affect. So, whatever you do… don’t revisit this account during that time, otherwise your deletion request becomes null and void. And… be sure not to use this account to sign in to other websites. That will activate it again, as well.
The Steps to Deletion:
Sign in to the Facebook account you want to delete.
You’ll then see an account deletion form. Click Submit.
A pop up box will come up to confirm your account deletion. Type in your Facebook password and go through the security check by entering given text in the textbox. Then click Okay.
After confirmation, log out.
Check your email account associated with the deleted Facebook account. You should get an email stating that your account deletion process has been initiated. If you don’t get it, try the steps above again until it works.
Here is another photograph from the photo shoot we did recently. This is Avalon. Avalon is six years old and makes quite an amazing model. Here she is photographed in her Supergirl costume. Her cape is actually the real cape worn by the original George Reeves from back in the 1950′s. In fact, the father is an avid Superhero fan, with quite an extensive comic book collection. He owns the bat mobile, and the bat boat. He’s going to be on the new TV program called ‘Four Rooms’ where he will be auctioning off the very first Superman outfit ever worn on television, by George Reeves back in the 1950s. The show will be airing in April. We’re looking forward to seeing him on TV, where he may show this photo of his daughter, Avalon… his Supergirl.
The background looks incredibly real, but no that’s not Maui. Ben superimposed the background to make it look like Avalon (supergirl) has just landed on this perilous pillar overlooking the crowded cityscape below.
We really enjoyed photographing this amazing family and we look forward to future photo shoots like this one where we can photograph families that are looking for more than your “average” family portrait.
Stay tuned for more, as Ben continues on his magical photography quest! And please feel free to leave us some feedback in the comments section.
We received a phone call from a family recently, looking for a photographer that could take photos of the family in a creative way. Ben Kikuyama has been brimming with ideas for doing photos in a conceptual way, so this was a great avenue for him to bring some of his ideas to life.
Their children were the perfect models. Beautiful, in fact. This photo is of their son, Addison, who handcrafted his outfit with intricate detail. His father carefully handed him the sword, which itself was a work of art… and quite sharp. Ben took many shots, and picked this one to develop into his poetic image of the silent warrior.
Enjoy… more to come soon, as Ben continues on his magical photography quest. Curious to hear your comments!
We all love magicians and being marveled by their illusions that look so real. Here is a man that brings old-school magic up to speed with today’s technology. Marco Tempest is a cyber-illusionist, which means he combines magic with science/technology to create illusions.
When we were little kids, everything was magic… rainbows, soap bubbles, clouds… we were constantly being amazed by the world around us. As adults, the world may not seem so magical anymore, and it’s hard to find something “new” to jazz us like when we were kids. It is the magician that can bring about that feeling of enchantment back again, at least for a short amount of time. That’s why the work of Marco Tempest is so wonderful.
Marco Tempest likes to push the boundaries of technology and collaborating with people to bring his manifestations to life. Back in the 80′s he became interested in bringing the special effects he saw in movies to the stage, which he felt would draw larger audiences since it was bringing something fresh and new to the table. His life aspiration is to do what he loves and to pass that passion on to his audience.
Here is magic for both sides of your brain by the world’s premier technoillusionist, Marco Tempest.
