We all have pictures that make you go “meh”. It’s usually the 107th picture of your cat or one of the several poses against a while wall. Then then are those outright bad and embarrassing shots you wish didn’t exist but, for some unexplainable reason, do. You were most likely either drunk or naked… and some bastard had a camera.

What should you do with those pictures, delete them? No. Even the worst photos, the kind that would cause exceptionally grave damage to national security if ever published, should be saved and kept in a government protected, top-secret chamber. I’m not talking about way out-of-focus and overexposed material, that stuff belongs in the trash. I mean pictures that are bad because you look ridiculous.

What’s the point, you ask. The answer is digital recycling. Even bad photos may have elements that could be reused.
I would normally show you a before picture here but this time I’ll show you the final creation first.

You wouldn’t believe what kind of garbage this consists of, so see for yourself, if you dare. Oh, and if anyone asks you about my laundry day picture, you never saw it.

Later,
Buikhu

P.S. A more tightly cropped version of the final photo can be seen here. I couldn’t decide which one was better.
I know the tattoo still needs some work so I don’t need to hear that from you. Other comments are welcomed.

Your turn.
