Scary Baby Photography...


Okay. I work for a book publisher and I am exposed to a lot of photography art books. Now, maybe there's something wrong with me, but can someone tell me why people think it's "CUTE" to show pictures of babies dressed up as various types of animals, frequently members of the insect family...

Such as :

Image


That IS the embodiment of evil , right? Or am I just weird? Cause frankly, I find that image to be not cute and charming, but instead, good old fashioned nightmare fuel.

Just got back from a book show for work. Saw something like that being sold. People were buying. Please tell me I'm not insane.

No, you're not insane, but hang around this board long enough it will come naturally emoticon Imagine what that kid is going to be like when he grows up emoticon

My god, the things some folk put kids through. I speak from experience - when I was a similar age I was a model for children's clothes. Male and female. Yeah, I know...

Apparently we are publishing a book on the "garden" and on the "sea" which, instead of featuring pictures of actual animals and bugs, features pictures of small children in similiarly horrifying get up.

eek.

I find the bug baby picture less threatening than the normal baby pictures. But then to, I haven't been sleeping much these days.
     Maybe you could get a picture of your coworker, drop it in photoshop, and make her a freaky bug. It might make you feel better.
     Leave a letter on her desk saying she won a free bus ticket to Tennessee.
           I hope it gets betterJesse
