I must have seen this guys face on about 100 web sites. Today I was searching for a new cell phone, and came accross a beeper website. And what do you know, there he is, standing, looking.

That camera angle is so early 2000.

It deserves to go on the pile of other junk from the dotcom era:

Logos with swooshes
blue shirts and khaki pants
Aeron chairs
Razor scooters
Powerpoint business plans.

He reminds me of David Byrne (http://207.250.122.203/davidbyrne/davidbyrnephotobio.htm).

There is also a lady that looks like she has a pencil neck with her head turned, but I can't find it.

So at least your-site has been using it since before it was overdone. The sad thing is that "designers" are still creating sites using the pics of that guy and his cousins.

1. Imagine if you were walking by someone who was standing like that at your level... lol

2. I think those pictures would be good for pain companies (back and neck pain.

He looks a bit psychotic if you ask me... looks like hes angry and he wants to stab someone with a 9" kitched knife several times...

I certainly wouldn't want to meet him down a dark alley.

Yeah, all of those pictures look goofy to me. Seems to make the people look a bit nuts too. What is so special about climbing on a ladder and taking a picture anyhow? Never understood that one.:eek:

Logos with swooshes?

What if your client request it to have a swoosh.

I never knew sites like uglypeople.com existed...
What kind of a revenue model would they be having...
