Photo-G Cautionary Tales

The Photograffiti edit in the mag every month involves pics that fall into the sweet spot of a spectrum. If they’re too professional-looking, then it defeats the purpose of a home-grown, reader-submitted spread. And if they’re low-resolution and dead-on-arrival, they look terrible in
print. We aim for a selection in between. Elsewhere, in the Twilight Zone of this spectrum, lies the odd, funny, and awesomely awful photos like these. And keep in mind, as always, we love this shit.

BANZAI!!!: When a kamikaze fly-out connects with someone’s face, it’s a “make.”



LEFT BEHIND: No ifs, ands, or butts about it: ass shots need to take a seat.
