This is awesome.
I remember, quite a few years ago, reading an article written by a professional photographer who was talking about the photo habits of 'normal people'. They were talking about their 'screw ups', and how so many of them actually turned out to be interesting works of art. They said that, for them, and they hoped for most others, that they wouldn't delete their 'oops' photos. It's too easy to delete 'bad' photos, and yet sometimes the 'bad' photos catch a different nuance, a different view, a different vibe of the time of the photo. A time, they stressed, would never happen again.
As I've looked through my gigabytes of photos, and discovered memory cards over the years, I have seen quite a few 'Opps' photos, and while not all of them have been amazing, so many actually have been so different, unique, odd, awful, and sometimes amazing. Really strange images that make a statement. That say something esoteric, unexpected, dynamic, of the time of the image. Oddly, the 'bad photos' seem to bring up the memories of what was going on at the time of the picture.
Sorry to jump in to this thread, but it struck a chord in my memory. I never delete images now. You never know what you delete might be something that will bring you something in the future. Love this...

It looks like someone else has become obsessed with this.
These are seriously good images.

Thanks,
Not obsessed - just dialing-in another technique
I've been doing this since 1984 - long before anybody called it ICM LOL
If you're interested, I could do an ICM workshop for folks interested in Cbus next month

This was the theme for the weekly contest a couple of years ago. I had to go back and look. It was May/June 2018. The title was "Amazing Failures.". There were a lot of really good bad images.
Those look like prints you’d get in a hotel room.
If you mean Columbus, it's a bit far but I will definitely meet you half way in Akron.
That wasn’t meant as an insult! I think they look good.
I've stayed in a lot of hotel rooms. I'm not sure that's a compliment.
Maybe I stay in better hotels! After all I only use them if work is paying!

You'll be okay there. They closed down the prison years ago.
