This Exists: Angry People In Local Newspapers

» comments

apiln

New in the quirky single topic blog department: a blog that runs away with the observation that a lot of the people in photographs from local newspapers are scowling. Welcome to Angry People In Local Newspapers.The blog’s mission statement is as follows: “I feel sorry for local news photographers. They are hugely skilled and poorly paid, and sent out to photograph miserable people pointing at dog turds. Here, we celebrate their work.”

The Metafilter commenters, a few of whom sound like they’ve done some unforgiving local news photography assignments themselves, do not approve. A lot of the photos are pretty funny and spot-on; some of the text (cf. calling people ugly) is kinda mean and exploitative in a People of Wal-Mart way. This may be a somewhat backhanded compliment, but it’s fair to call it a blog better looked at than read.
