Photo Challenge

Your mission is to take this profile photo of +Keith Cramer and mash it up. Best representation of my cantankerous pot-stirring brother wins. Judging will be totally subjective so knowing both him and me will get you far. Share with others or tag in interested or interesting parties. 😉

If you don't have a lot of time, don't spend a lot of time! Quick and dirty is the name of the game. Photoshop him or print him out and manipulate him in the real world and take a pic. Special consideration to anything involving explosives or involving multiple users (or both). Basically, whatever you can think of. 😉

POST your entry to your profile as a public share and link to it in the comments here or submit via pm to me. Automatic winning entry if I see the entry on the nightly news for you real go-getters.

+Halfdan Reschat henchfolk especially encouraged to use their dastardly ways to get an edge on the competition. Winner will be announced sometime this next weekend depending on public participation.

Prizes? Sure. I'll think of something good, and it will be tangible. I don't welch. Look me up. Ask around.

I did a rough cut-out in both PSD and PNG format available for download (or go to his profile and grab the original):

  13. Scott Cramer says:

    Heh… Enjoying the entries! I can already tell judging is going to be difficult!

    +Jim Gomes I see what you did there… 😉

  14. Jim Gomes says:

    Shhhhhh…

  15. Scott Cramer says:

    I'm sooooo glad you did +Kyla Myers! Still laughing!

  16. Scott Cramer says:

    +Kimberly Chapman Not sure how I missed tagging you above…!

  17. Cliff Loresco says:

    You brothers have the funnest games! Might have to try and make one when I get home 🙂

  18. Scott Cramer says:

    +Cliff Loresco Love to see it!!!

  19. Amanda Rachelle Warren says:

  20. Mellie B says:

    i have an idea and no way to execute it. sigh

  21. Scott Cramer says:

    No losers when defacing +Keith Cramer! Will also allow dirty limericks +Amanda Rachelle Warren *hint hint*

  22. Kari Tedrick says:

    you can do it +Mellie B 

  23. Amanda Rachelle Warren says:

    Oho. Limericks I can do.

    +Basil Doeringsfeld Thinking outside the box. 😉 However, I think you crashed my phone! Lol

  30. Roger Murley says:

    +Roger Murley But classic! 😉

  32. Kyla Myers says:

    I'll help if you need it, +Mellie B 

  33. Basil Doeringsfeld says:

    Damn, just tried to play it on my phone and crashed it too! Keith is so gnarley he can crash phones at will!

  34. Mz Maau says:

    It's an animated gif, for one, and it's a direct PicasaWeb link, for two.  It might help if you post it, and then view it in the phone's flash-enabled browser.

  35. Basil Doeringsfeld says:

    Nah, I've loaded them onto posts too, doesn't work that way either. Maybe in a few years… lol

  36. Mz Maau says:

    Huh.  Works just fine in my phone.

    Back when I used to have time and boredom and things, I used to play around with Anthony LaPaglia's head in Windows Paint: http://kimberlychapman.com/lapaglia/lapagliamorphs.html

    Jeez, I miss Paint.  And free time.

  43. Dirk Reul says:

    All the designs have been great and really well done so far! uhm.. hey I am Summer Glau..  +Mary C.  😛

  44. Scott Cramer says:

    +Mat Brown That's going to require a really drunk sailor! 😉

    +Kimberly Chapman OMG! Laughing my butt off AND really creeped out all at the same time!!!

    +Dirk Reul as Summer Glau… My world has turned upside down.

    Great imaginations on some of these posts!  Totally fun… not sure I could even compete with such greatness!  🙂

  50. Jyoti Dahiya says:

    Personally, I think +Kyla Myers 's laser entry was the bestest, not that the others are half bad at all.

  51. Salvio Giglio says:

    Dear +Scott Cramer 
    but you invite us to the wedding! We distort the face of Keith will be a real pleasure … you want Keith thinner? It will be done! And we will do so in the name of our dear friend +Ajda Boksic Filipovic  who has given us a mandate to do so!

  52. Scott Cramer says:

    +Jacqueline Hodsdon Throw anything into the mix! Quick and dirty is as worthy as Photoshop Picasso!

    If we reach a record number of entries, I will have to do something special.

  53. Scott Cramer says:

    +Salvio Giglio I await with anticipation and wacky laughter! Ahaaaaahahahaaaa!

  54. Jacqueline Hodsdon says:

    Oh my!  Nice!  At work right now…. but I will see what I can do!  Thanks so much for the inclusion +Scott Cramer , :-).

  55. Scott Cramer says:

    Hmm… a picture of you with a +Keith Cramer mask at work… Printout and scissors. Voila! Done before coffee break. Extra points for coworker involvement. 😉

  56. Ajda Boksic Filipovic says:

    +Jacqueline Hodsdon Excellent entry and incorporation of an excellent Captain. Amazing how you know that Keith shows up to work all the time with a drag queen swagger and Captain Jack Sparrow mascara…

    +Damian Sanchez Big Brother is my Little Brother?! Oy!

  73. Keith Cramer says:

    Wow… I've been offline for the past 16 hours — I've got some catching up to do. I'm frickin' famous!  All of these events in my life that I have no memory of — It's time to start catching up.

    I'm going to take a half hour G+ break. I don't think it's going to be enough!

  74. Damian Sanchez says:

    +Nunzia Nullo I need help with your concept. This is what I come up with: #amidoingitright ?

  75. Mellie B says:

    +Allen Simpson I went in a slightly different direction with the Titanic Theme. 😉

    FYI – I took the definition of "crude" to a whole new level with this one!

  83. Scott Cramer says:

    Is that because we can't see Gilligan's hand?!

  84. Basil Doeringsfeld says:

    lol +Sergio Garza, looks like you used a real copier, and real paste on that one. Nice!

  85. Scott Cramer says:

    Oh… THAT kind of crude. Gotcha. Sorry…

  86. Sergio Garza says:

    hahahha +Scott Cramer I'll leave that to the imaginiation…

    +Basil Doeringsfeld lol I seriously have the worst skills….. EVER

  87. Kyla Myers says:

    You should make this an event so it's easier to post pics to

  88. Mellie B says:

    +Kyla Myers so smart.  <3 <3

  89. Jim Gomes says:

    +Kyla Myers I was thinking hashtag, but event is way better. +Scott Cramer you can still create an event and we can add pictures to it after the fact.

  90. Scott Cramer says:

    +Allen Simpson They just keep getting better 😉

    +Kyla Myers +Jim Gomes Hm. I have not played with events yet. Where does it store everything when you post pictures to it? I have enough trouble keeping up with notifications on the web-based and mobile-based systems. Worried it will be one more thing…

  91. Jim Gomes says:

    +Scott Cramer it creates a separate event photo album for photos submitted to the event.  It's actually quite easy to manage, and works great on mobile, too.  Just create an event, and invite us to it.  We will then have an ability to add photos to the event.  For those who are "watching" the event, the photos will pop up in real-time, and they can even choose to display them in a slide-show fashion.

  92. Jim Gomes says:

    I think you can make it a public event too, so anybody can join.  You don't have to limit it.

    One day my notes will work right.. :/

    Fantastic job everyone!

  98. Halfdan Reschat says:

    This photo challenge has inspired me to make a contest of my very own. It is all written up and ready to launch, but I'll wait with announcing it until this Keith-challenge has ended and +Scott Cramer has chosen a winner. It will be the first contest since the launch of Henchfolk Points which directly includes points.

  99. Mellie B says:

    +Halfdan Reschat YAY!

  100. Halfdan Reschat says:

    +Mellie B, good to hear you're ready for what is to come. (My interpretation.)

  101. Mellie B says:

    Yes I am 😀 

    well, I'm excited to see the details 😉
    one day your plots will be too nefarious for even my participation…

  102. Halfdan Reschat says:

    +Allen Simpson, you just keep 'em coming. Awesome!

    +Mellie B, you'll have to wait until this +Keith Cramer mashup-thing is over. But I promise you that you once again have to call upon your (or your servants') artistic abilities.

    +Google+, I'm disappointed in you for stopping notifying me about new comments to this post after the 100th comment. Shame on you.

  112. Kimberly Chapman says:

    Just remember who gave you revenge for a previous humiliation…oh sure, some of the others were technically more adept, but perhaps there need to be Special Achievement Awards.  And lest you think that's entirely self-serving, I nominate +Mellie B's French Girl drawing for Picture That Spawned The Best Rajeeving.  <— hell yes I've verbed it.

  113. Scott Cramer says:

    Not too late! Earliest I can start judging is tomorrow! 😉
