a really crappy photo that for some reason you really like

[iridium7777]

i have a lot of these in this category , but this one, i dunno, always stands out and i just don't have the heart to delete it. show your shame!

 

[Tuolumne]

I never delete any photo -even blanks. What the heck - it's only disk space. But I also don't go back and look at some. I would put your photo in that category.

here's one that has had little response or views on flickr the 'acid test' of popularity for photographs, but it's one that I personally like a lot.

This is one definition of a "crappy photo". The development was a disaster.

And somehow, I like it. Others have agreed.

A member here at RFF told me "this picture is dead and lifeless, why did you take it?"

But I like it.

This is certainly not what I will call dead and lifeless!!!!!!

Is this a wall of pelote basque in the background?

 

[meven]

It certainly is, every village round here, no matter how small, has one.

Yes I know, I love that country, if I was not living in Brittany I will move around there, still thinking about doing it, one day I guess...

Whoever told you that was just jealous!

 

[AzzA]

This is a pretty poor photo for many reasons, but i still like it.
I have a soft spot for it because i think it was one of the first photos, from the first roll of film, from my first trip to Europe when i was still at school. Plus it one one of the first photos i ever developed myself.
So yeah, i guess all of those factors combine, and i like it eventhough its not a very good photo

A re-post of when I had a magazine problem. It sums up two-year olds for me.

 

[charjohncarter]

Pitxu, (pichew), that is not 'lifeless.' In fact, it is the opposite. I won't even comment about 'dead.' There are are a lot of things to be said about that image; exuberance of youth, etc, etc. But you don't have to say anything; the images does the talking.

 

[Ororaro]

Gabriel, Etrigan, Pitxu, Azza and Mike, your shots are very nice...

 

[Ororaro]

Here's mine. Rightfully crappy, I like exactly because of its crapiness.

 

[Ororaro]

Boobies can never be crappy. Im a pig. I know it

I'm a pig, too! :angel:

 

[cmogi10]

<3 Boobilies


Anyway, here's my crap to share...

Color?? Out of focus?? DIRECT FLASH!??!??

Blasphemy

 

[shadowfox]

This is probably as close as I'll ever be to a Holga-ic image

the camera is a Welmy.

Let me guess: somebody who has some really crappy pics as a matter of course?

Thanks, Meven.

But if you want consistent artistic serendipity, just get a really contrasty lens (don't forget to rub your nose on the front and rear elements), a few bottles of whiskey (aka "scotch"), some Neopan 1600 rated at 100, and develop in Rodinal. Bocato di cardinale!
