My first post on this site!

Inspired by Horriblelogos.com and the Woot Bag of Crap, this site is dedicated to bringing you really badly done photos, custom crafted, just for you. The thing that makes them specials is I'm going to do them on my iPhone. I'll hit them with whatever filters and apps strike my mood. You're going to pay me a ridiculously small amount of money and I'll dedicate a ridiculously short portion of my life to creating a photo, just for you.

This photo has a lot of elements of a really bad iPhone pic. It's out of focus, has a finger in front of the lens, has had HDR effects badly applied and is of the owner of the phone, at arms length.





I'm not going to promise which bad elements will be in your photos, but believe me, they'll be pretty bad.

What will you get when you order a custom BadiPhonepic?
  • A bad iPhone pic of my choice, posted on this site, as soon as I can get to it. You'll get the chance to suggest a broad subject (animal, vegteable, or mineral) or a shape, or a color. I'll promise to try to get that into a photo. The element you want, may not be very big in the frame. Or it might just be implied. This will after all, be a bad iPhone pic. 
  •  You can download it from the blog. It will be 1000 pixels on the long side. It will have the copyright info on it, just like you see in the photo above.  If you want the full rez version, without the copyright notice on it, emailed to you,  it's going to be more money. See the order page.
  • You will not get the copyright. You can print the photos for personal use only. Or use them on your Facebook and personal blog. You can't sell them or let anyone else sell them (but really, who'd want to buy them?).
  • A warm fuzzy feeling knowing you're supporting a not so starving artist. Have you seen my waist line? You will however be keeping me in Chipotle and film for my Holga camera.
  • A link back to wherever you like
  • Bragging rights for custom made, really bad art. 
  • The chance to defend to your spouse or significant other the stupid way you just spent some money!
  • Internet fame! That's got to count for at least one second of your allotted 15 minutes. 
What won't you get when you order a custom badiPhonepic?
  • Any real say in what I take a pic of. It'll be whatever passes my fancy, and sorta related to whatever you request. DO NOT BE SURPRISED IF IT SUCKS!
  •  A chance to change your mind. Once ordered, they're ordered. 
  • A refund if you don't like the custom photo. It's going to inhale vigorously. Really. I'm not kidding. 
  • A new Car. Seriously. It's only going to be a sucky photo.
  • Also, no chocolate. It's still going to be a bad photo. 

 Note that the prices for the files are based on the cost for me to buy a roll of my beloved Tri-X film for my holga, or for the bigger version, the cost for me to buy a Chipotle lunch. You are forewarned, I'm particularly delighted to make Chipotle food photos. Just sayin'
