How not to take family photos
« on: December 19, 2010, 05:35:04 PM »
How not to take family photos: a complete course.
Tuition fees: free
Requirements: sense of humor

Well, that pretty much describes this site I saw on TV this morning.
I must admit, some of it is pretty painful!

Here's the link:

Enjoy!

Ok... Confession time: I've been checking that site for a few years.  I find it to be hilariously creepy-good!    ;D

I never thought i'd find a site that competes with the peopleofwalmart and Poorlydressed :)

(though the handyman in me tends to like ThereIfixedit a whole lot)

I've actually had one of my family's photos posted on AFP. I find it is a great example of what to do right in a family photo.

Sites like this always scare me. One of these days some photo I probably didn't even know was taken will pop up!

I'm impressed by the images on that site. How about turning that into our next collaboration? ;)

I kind of like it when they use a uniform background... makes it so easy to photoshop them into any environment ;)
