It’s impossible to describe the sheer awesomeness of this pre-digital-era photo by Dave Smith. Gladly, I don’t have to.

And here another Glutnix classic: Supposedly the remains of a house. Supposedly Otaki Forks. Supposedly without a lot of pixel noise and sufficient exposure. But what do I know.

And the code is “AOUG”! Glutnix accumulated a stunning collection of first class pics on his Flickr account. Here only one, particularly sweet, example. More to come soon!

Patricia Laurenson worked with a briefing resembling one of the ideas behind this blog: “My creative theme was ‘bad 1950s photos that would have been thrown away’”. Mission accomplished!

By the way: we also accept bad photos from the 1960–2010s, in case there was any doubt…

… before you feel all too compelled to light a torch, sharpen your pitch forks, or to fill Speights stubbies with fuel from the rather silly contraptions you keep rotting in your sheds, please be advised that this blog is actually some sort of twisted love letter to New Zealand. Just saying. A bit more here.

That said: enjoy this little blog, and good to have you here! Frickin’ about time!
