Behold the worst Olympic portraits ever taken
7/3/2012We imagine how stoked AFP/Getty photographer Joe Klamar was to land a gig snapping photos of the U.S. Olympians, but this opportunity of a lifetime has turned into a viral calamity for the photographer, who's been attacked in photo forums across the Web. One Reddit user bashed Klamar for the "terrible light and background issues," incredulous at how he "just totally cuts off a hand, or foot," while another tries giving Klamar the benefit of the doubt: "Wow... he's trying something new for press shots, concealing some details in shadows..." then realizes there's no excuse: "Wow they're getting worse... Ok this wasn't on purpose...these are terrible..." Tweeters were no kinder, with @GrahamJoyPhoto saying simply, "Joe Klamar should give up the Photography."
