Challenge: Tacky Holiday Decorations (Classic Editing)
Camera: Olympus C-5050Z
Location: Bronx, NY
Date: Dec 30, 2003
Aperture: F2.3
ISO: 64
Shutter: 1/60 sec

Date Uploaded: Dec 30, 2003

 In the Bronx, New York, this is a fairly famous house during the holidays. Located on Pelham Parkway, people come from all over to see this house. Unfortunately, this house has grown so much in noteriety, that the owners overdosed on all the decorations and stuffed like a million moving statues that it's just a tacky eye sore that causes way TOO MUCH traffic. Even on the off season most of the stuff is still kept there. It is by far the most gaudy display of holiday cheer for miles around.

The title says it all! Too bad about the dark "lump" in the foreground. DIdn't want to hang on the fence - sacrifice life and limb? ;-)

Tack fest. Very unpleasant indeed.
 01/01/2004 12:33:25 PM

What is there to say? Looks like a Christmas themed "Where's Waldo?" For a split second, I thought the manequin on the bottom right was Michael Jackson.
I just love this photo. I would like to have seen a photo of the expressions on the faces of the couple who are viewing the display.

I think I saw this on Extreme Christmas Homes on HGTV about three weeks ago. Is this in the Bronx? Sure is tacky.

Yep that is tacky. The fence and people spoil the shot but meets challenge well.
