I'm not sure if you guys have seen this site yet, but it is almost as awesome as Tonya's Unique Backgrounds.

(I'm in no way affliated with it)

Yeah, but I'm only posting it so maybe people can learn from others mistakes.
One thing I noticed is that the website author never gives credits, which technically is not cool, but in this case is probably the best thing to do.

That site always cracks me up. That being said, I have a recurring nightmare that my images appear on it.

I'm a bit dubious about that site. Seems to me that the owner of the the website just spends way to much time trawling though facebook looking for awful snaps! I doubt very much that these are photographers charging for their services yet again I could be completely wrong

belief me, there are photographers out there that charge for crappy work and clients who are so cheap that they are happy to pay for it.

The owner of the site is actually quite a good photographer. And yes, many of the photographs featured ARE from fauxtographers that do indeed charge for their services.

Omg! I checked out their Facebook, and they had a worst photo contest.
I can't stop laughing, mainly at the comments under this photo. Too funny!!

One of my favorite "likes" on facebook. It's right up there with "peopleofwalmart.com"

Another one used to be "uncle bob photography", but it got old pretty fast.
