About The Unconventional Kid

Anything but ordinary.

Ever notice how many cutesy-wootsy kid groups are floating around Flickr? (NOT that there's anything wrong with that - I myself post in a few ;)) Lately, I have noticed a serious lack of the less conventional kid portraits... Perhaps because there is no single place for them to gather...? Hmmmm... Well either way - now there is.

In case all this sounds too vague - a good guideline would be to only post those images which you feel don't quite fit into the conventional cutesy kid groups. They must be different, at least a step or two from the ordinary. They might border on creepy, they might border on weird - some of them might even make the conventional Flickr parents shudder at the mere sight of them... ;)) Some of them might make one think a little deeper, some might make them laugh out loud... They might make one ponder their existance, or even send chills down their spine... Or perhaps - just perhaps - they simply look friggin' cool, unique, and somehow visually engaging - drivel above disregarded :-P

Either way - come one, come all! A place for the unconventional... Anything but ordinary!
