December 01, 2008 38 comments 115 submissions

This rumble installment calls everyone to send in their gruesomely beautiful *unflattering portraits*.

lomosexual_manboy who gave to us a very funny take on Street Fashion picked this week’s theme, the Most Unflattering Portrait. It’s time for everyone to put your favorite people to an unusual shot of fame in this rumble installment.

Get ready to take out your favorite snippets of photos your friends would not like to see in any of your photo albums. Tacky clothes, really bad haircuts, overdone makeup – show us what you’ve got. After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and this rumble seeks to find beauty in the ugly.

    I was outside playing with my SuperSport wanna-be aka uboot on a sunny Sunday afternoon and thought I'd try taking a photo of myself.
    I really don't look like that.
    Really.
    I'm telling the truth, now.
    Please believe me.....

Camera Modification: Turn your LC-A+ into a Rainbow Camera!

Camera Modification: Turn your LC-A+ into a Rainbow Camera! Personally I am a huge fan of redscaling. It allows you to get some color in your photos, even on the grayest of days. But what if you just want to add the redscale effect to just some of your photos rather than shooting an entire roll this way? Easy enough: use a red filter! And while you're at it, why not throw in some other colors as well?! Read on to find out how you can turn your LC-A+ in to a rainbow camera!
