About this Blog: Awkward Kids, Posing Weirdly, Holding Things That are Slightly Unsettling

This blog is Dedicated to Found Magazine and Found Fans everywhere. Inspired by the Finds and comments of 11-25 to 11-27-07.
The smartest, funniest and most inspiring people on the Web hang out at Found. I am amazed, amused, and awed daily. Thank you, Found, and Thank you, Found Fans.
I hope that you will be inspired to search your photo archives, scour the web, and send in your favorite pictures of awkward kids, posing weirdly, holding things that are slightly unsettling(c).
The title credit goes to SaraSara, Clover, and Mona Lisa. If any of you object, notify and I will gladly pick another.

I hope that anyone viewing this blog will be inspired to participate by sharing any odd pictures you may have, or may have seen. I also hope that if you have not checked out Found Magazine before, you will do so immediately. It's Great.

I have not used blogger before, and just discovered the Hard Way that image tags are not allowed in comments here. That sucks because it means that you can't just leave picture submissions in comments. Here's what we can do. You can leave the URL in a comment, and I can cut and paste it into a blog entry. Or you can send me a message with your email addy and I can add you as a writer, so you can add your own pictures thoughts and observations.

I would also like to say that I'm not completely rigid on the photo criteria. If you have a picture of an awkward senior citizen, send it along. Or an awkward kid, posing strangely, holding something completely innocuous. It's all just for fun.

the kid's not holding anything, really, but this is definitely awkward, wierd, and disturbing. Have fun with it.

by the way, that was from Found (but of course)January 6, 2002.
FOUND by Francesco Tabiadon in Pordenone, Italy

I don't know if you need all that, but it might not be a bad idea to credit the source.

omg, toaster.. that definitely fits the profile. Too awkward. I love that reindeer boy. I'm totally going to keep my nose to the photo albums to see if i can find any compromising photos of my brothers.
