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.
Synwave 07-16-2002, 11:57 AM The speech bubble stuck in his neck looks painful!!
Rotifer 07-16-2002, 12:03 PM He reminds me of David Byrne (http://207.250.122.203/davidbyrne/davidbyrnephotobio.htm).
RobTheGolfer 07-16-2002, 06:38 PM I see that guy on a different website everyday! :mad:

Rotifer 07-16-2002, 07:05 PM Well, now you have a name ... Jim Stone, freelance model with tiny feet and an annoying smirk.
ljprevo 07-16-2002, 07:18 PM Hey, what about this lady?

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.

24Host 07-23-2002, 05:29 AM ive neva seen him b4
Alareach 07-23-2002, 06:25 AM 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.
dynamitehost 07-23-2002, 06:29 AM 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.

anon-e-mouse 07-23-2002, 07:36 AM Don'tcha feel a fool for making the same mistake twice? :D

dynamitehost 07-23-2002, 07:41 AM :bawling:
24Host Tech3 07-24-2002, 05:29 PM 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:
imago-allan 08-16-2002, 08:17 PM Logos with swooshes?
What if your client request it to have a swoosh.
