the broadband frog is probably gonna take over these soon enough with the amount of people on the board, but i figured i'd share them for as long as they're up i guess.

anyways, i didn't have much time, there was no planning involved since it was under such short notice. because of that, i didn't quite get the look i was going for with this costume. but over all, im satisfied.

anyways....

kinda looks like links taking up the worlds oldest proffesion there eh?

 

[Fatghost]

I don't get it

 

[Wario64]

....

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

......it's supposed to be funny, right?

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

No "Link in a locker"?

 

[demi]

Don't quit your dayjob?

 

[bitwise]

"hey these pics arent funny enough.. lets add some homeless people!"

wtf

 

[Ramirez]

So was Link toyin with the homeless or what?

 

[fugimax]

It's like a bad Mega-64...oh wait..

 

[brandonnn]

I sincerely hope you gave all the homeless guys at least a couple bucks for being your straightmen.

 

[dorio]

I knew I would hate a realistic link.

 

[GSG Flash]

I don't get it

 

[God's Hand]

Uh, yeah. Maybe one day you'll take good pictures.

 

[UtadaBarkley]

OMG.

 

[imastalker co.]

there's nothing to get, they're just pics.

unfortunately i didn't get to do what i wanted due to time contraints and what not, but i figured i'd just share since they're some what game related.

Uh, yeah. Maybe one day you'll take good pictures.

here's hoping.

 

[blackadde]

Needs a better shield. And a rubber mask, BK king style.

 

[civilstrife]

I see what you were going for.
Although I don't think a videogame forum is going to respond to this sort of thing very well.

 

[Leatherface]

....

:lol

I was thinking the same thing.. The pics are very nice though.. for the most part...heh

 

[Meier]

I thought they were pretty good.

 

[Suikoguy]

So, how much did you pay the guy in the suit?

 

[imastalker co.]

makes no difference to me. like i said, they're some what videogame related, so i figured why not.

So, how much did you pay the guy in the suit?

nothing. it was TFP. although it cost me $6 and an hour of work or so to make it the costume.

 

[btrboyev]

kinda rude to take pictures of homeless people.

 

[StrikerObi]

I thought they were pretty good.

I thought they were delightuflly odd.

 

[imastalker co.]

kinda rude to take pictures of homeless people.

not at all. i always ask them for permission before i do so. they're always cool with it.

 

[Leatherface]

I'm sure the homeless loved to be a part of this project btw...especially the Black guy who looks like he's about to rip out your lungs and sell your belongings for a real bed. :lol

 

[Amir0x]

Very curious, these pictures. Interesting. I like how Link's sword is from medieval times.

 

[bitwise]

he doesnt look like that at all. he just looks sad.

 

[Kon Tiki]

At least throw a lit bomb at the homeless, or pretend the garbage is a treasure chest.

 

[Barnimal]

gotta love nintendo fans. cant help but wanna cry sometimes for them though. :lol

 

[acoustix]

I sincerely hope you gave all the homeless guys at least a couple bucks for being your straightmen.

I agree.

:lol

Johnny, you would have been better off without Link. He just ruins what might have been some interesting photographs. :/

 

[Shaheed79]

Well given that I attended a Visual Arts school for 6 years and took several photography classes my immediate reaction was to take notice to the obvious contrast you were going for between a beloved fantasy character and the stark difference of a dirty realistic inner-city. The one with the demon mural was nice since I like the mural itself and I actually think you made a decent choice for Link. He looks nothing like Link but he looks like how you would think a video-game nerd would look (I hope thats not you).

The homeless shots were the most enlightening of the shots and I've seen tons of "Artsey" photographers use the homeless as models to make some sort of political statement of our congested society but I know that is not what you were going for. Like I said the contrast is still nice to look at and photopraphs like these the last thing you need to do is take them too serious or look too deeply into them for a message that just isn't there.

Overall, very nice. Thanks for sharing that with us.

 

[imastalker co.]

appreciate it.

 

[Shaheed79]

I would make the sound of a plane flying over your head but soundbites like that are not easy to come by.

 

[Desperado]

no boots? no chainmail? NO EPONA? wtf man.

just messin, nice pics.

 

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Boooo-urns!

 

[Sho Nuff]

You need some fill flash.

 

[Jade Knight 08]

That's not Link. That's an "ELF"!!!

Next time you take a pix... ask the dude to cross his legs!!! (Left side)

:lol You don't even see penis. Dude, how insecure are you? He's wearing shorts!

 

[Pochacco]

Funny pictures!
Reminds me of that Simpsons Halloween episode where Homer falls into a dumpster in the 'real world' and goes into the erotic cake shop.

 

[djm19]

hmmm...looks like you took these in los angeles.

 

[XMonkey]

The mural one is the best

 

[KingGondo]

Prepare to be OA-fodder for years to come.

 

[teiresias]

I'm sorry, but the first thing I thought of was that freak that thinks he's Peter Pan and has a website. :lol :lol

 

[boredJonathan]

I like the rest of them, but the Zelda fan in me demands that this be reshot but with Link holding the empty styrofoam container like he would the dungeon's master key.

Other wise, nifty stuff. Having not attened any kind of photography classes I can't speak to the 'artistic' quality of it, but it is interesting to look at and provides a couple of interesting points to try and take out of them. but then I always feel pretentious doing that so I just point and laugh.

*points and laughs*

*runs away*


Seriously though.. good stuff.

 

[DCX]

:lol Wow, this is almost as bad as the live action human Pac-Man in NYC!!

DCX

 

[Deku Tree]

I enjoyed looking at these pics. THANKS!

I agree. Those would nice photos without Link. He just looks like a homosexual elf.
