- spiggot123, on 05/15/2008, -7/+2don't show this to my parents...
- take2, on 05/15/2008, -2/+31I prefer to make my photoshoots clothing optional. It makes the outfit choice much simpler.
- luke16, on 05/15/2008, -8/+18This is *****! As a photographer, i suggest you wear whatever the ***** you want. Because at the end of the day, it's you, and your not trying to be anyone else.
- gothelium, on 05/15/2008, -1/+2Yeah really, there are people with very "out-there" personalities that can't be expressed the same way with a black top as it could with a vibrant top.
- dstz, on 05/15/2008, -1/+4It shows that he has interest in making the best out of people's photos. But it sounds more like a specific advice for "how to save the day when you have to photograph people who dress like *****". The tittle is probably a little misleading.
- roomforpanic, on 05/15/2008, -1/+1you're*
- laltman, on 05/15/2008, -6/+2Never thought of this. Strikes me as a good idea because you never know how a photo comes out.
- cyberwiz01, on 05/15/2008, -0/+64If collars are good, then four of them would be even better right?
- tacojohn48, on 05/15/2008, -0/+15Yeah, but you will never be that cool.

- Crosshare, on 05/15/2008, -6/+2Who the hell is digging this crap? Sadly four of my friends on here. : /
- MacTyler, on 05/15/2008, -0/+5Don't worry, you know you just added them for your shout rank effectiveness.
- tacojohn48, on 05/15/2008, -1/+2I would advise that you avoid stripes.
- SemiSarcastic, on 05/15/2008, -0/+4...So I can't wear that clown suit?

- nevas, on 05/15/2008, -0/+3how about 'no clothes'?
- TheMidnight, on 05/15/2008, -0/+4Ketchup stained plaid shirt - check
Torn, faded, cum-stained jeans - check

I'm ready to ruin my wedding pictures! - Khast, on 05/15/2008, -0/+1A T-Shirt with the euroin Constellation on the front and back. Make it so cameras can't take pictures of you. (Works for scanners, printers, ect...)
FYI: the Euroin Constellation is how they make copiers/scanners/printers refuse to copy money or documents. - bdbr, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1Just think, whoever is wearing the dashing military tuxedo with medals could look just as dorky as the "collar" guy. So is the recommendation to sometimes leave the head off?
- beabis, on 05/16/2008, -1/+1Digg is rigged. There is no way such a useless recycled story could get over 600 diggs from individuals. Maybe 6.
- sfriedlander, on 05/16/2008, -1/+1So in conclusion, Emos make for good portraits.
