FACE wrecks
One of my favorite sites to visit is Cake Wrecks. I love seeing really bad cakes get called out in public. There's something glorious about the typos, the color combinations, the general ugliness and stupidity of the cakes. So I think of the hand tinting of this photo as the vernacular photography version of cake wrecks.
A "professional" was given the job to take a black and white portrait and make it more life like. Ummmm…I'm guessing the entire family had jaundice.

ReplyDeleteHard to miss. It's as if they put it on with a trowel.
DeleteJaundice is a category now?

DeleteThere could be some yellowing due to age of the photoraph too.
