January 20: Scrap a bad photo

Hello everyone! Welcome to Day 20 of The Lilypad's MOC! Are you having fun?

Today is about photos! Bad photos!

We all have "imperfect" photos! Today we are playing with those photos that normally we delete or simply don't look at them again. Let's embrace the imperfect ones - I want to see those that are totally out of focus, wrong angle, noisy background, head cut off, parts missing or with sun flare. Not everything has to be instagram-worthy to be scrapped and documented.

My challenge for you is to create a page using a "perfect imperfect" photo. Easy peasy and fun!!!!

ok ok ok. here are some bad photos:
OMG! wrong angle! I have one leg on this one:


can you see my dog with me?? focus?? where are you?


oh God! my son's fiance's head LOL


Here is my example: what's bad here? parts missing of my son and noisy background.

Some inspiration from the Pollys:

by Danica: what's bad here? there was something over her face, maybe a piece of hair over the lens or some weird light. and the dogs head was cut off.

The rules for this challenge:

- You can use ONLY ONE photo.
- You can turn it b&w or add a sepia tint, but the reason it's imperfect must be obvious. Remember my examples above - out of focus, wrong angle, noisy background, head cut off or parts missing, sun flare, etc.
I want to see a photo you wouldn't normally scrap.
- I want to see your photo as it is so extraction, angle fix and blending are not allowed.

Can't wait to see your perfect pages with your imperfect photos!!!!


In addition to the individual rules for this challenge, please follow our overall guidelines:
Your page must be a new page in order to count for the Month of Challenges. Your page must be posted in three places:

reserved post for Q&A

My son's school picture this year was so bad...not even sure what he was thinking when the picture was taken. The picture quality itself is fine...not glare, blurs, etc. Can I use this picture or does it have to be a technical problem with the photo.
No, for this challenge is has to be out of focus, wrong angle, noisy background, head cut off, parts missing, sun flare, closed eyes without intention, finger over the lens. thanks for asking.

For this challenge, do I have to be the one who took the photo? I'd like to use a childhood photo that was taken by my dad (but only if that's allowed!).
no, the photo can be taken by others. go ahead and use your precious photo

 

I am so sorry! I think it's fixed now

 

you are a rock star, my friend! thanks so much for embracing the bad photo! this page made me so happy!
