Submit your Halloween pumpkin pics to /r/horror's carving competition!

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

I tried coloring it. Turned out okay.

[–]JakeSanchard 24 points25 points ago

I've seen people like you and your work. Do you just go back in time with a colour camera and take the picture at the exact same moment as the original camera did?

[–]lamqta 18 points19 points ago

It's so easy. I just color-sampled several objects using modern colored images and used the color replacement tool in Photoshop. Even a child can do it.

[–]WiseHalmon 9 points10 points ago

Holy fucking shit. I didn't know they had a "color replacement tool"

I use Layers /Screen / Multiply / Hue / Saturation to get exactly what I want though... I wonder how much easier this is... lol.

[–]dubdubdubdot 0 points1 point ago

To be honest this is good but not at the same standard as some others Ive seen that do manipulate all those things you say, the brightness or contrast on this is too much.

[–]mateo_36 3 points4 points ago

Magic, got it.

[–]mypetridish 0 points1 point ago

then im a fucking sperm

[–]Propolandante 21 points22 points ago

Very nice. A tad too much saturation, though.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points ago

I dig it. You did miss the bit underneath her armpit though.

[–]ClawedMonet21 2 points3 points ago

Lovely!! Well done!

[–]zirfeld 2 points3 points ago

Kudos, I never could do that. But on the other hand: Why would I? Doesn't anybody like black & white anymore? This photo is so much more awesome the way it was taken.

[–]brosephjyant 0 points1 point ago

I agree. Although I think some of these colorized photos that have been popping up have been well done (particularly the Audrey Hepburn one), I don't see any value in it other than: Maybe this is what it looked like to be there.

It's this mentality that keeps people from watching classic films too.

[–]Frapter 4 points5 points ago

I expected some sort of racial humor relating to "color." I am probably not a good person. :(

[–]csobod 79 points80 points ago

He really never would've gotten anywhere without her. She's the one who cleaned him up, got him out front in the band, helped him focus on his own music, got him to lose some weight, helped him stop wearing those damn hoodlum clothes.

[–]ChinDeLonge 37 points38 points ago

...and got him laid.

[–]LOL_all_day 12 points13 points ago

Best wingman.

[–]itsmericky 36 points37 points ago

This is the most romantic thing I've ever seen... And I'm French!

[–]SlugsOnToast 20 points21 points ago

I hate only two things: Intolerance of other cultures, and the French.

Nice AP reference.

[–]starkrampf 0 points1 point ago

hon hon!

[–]WowbaggerMM 29 points30 points ago

This makes me depressed. I used to make music for a beautiful woman who cared. I know none of you care. I'm just venting. Apologies.

[–]outsdanding 8 points9 points ago

Hey man, I care. awkwardhug

[–]gotohell666 4 points5 points ago

[–]StarTrekMike 2 points3 points ago

How could I have not seen this yet!

Amazing...simply amazing.

Upvote for you.

[–]gotohell666 -1 points0 points ago

::Bows:: Why thank you good sir.

[–]WowbaggerMM 1 point2 points ago

Thanks bro. You are a prince among men.

[–]perkocet 13 points14 points ago

gettin laid tonight!

[–]Megadeth619 5 points6 points ago

[–]greenstriper 2 points3 points ago

I love his playing in this.

[–]Spud2599 1 point2 points ago

Thanks for that...Nice!

[–]ObeseSnake 1 point2 points ago

Mine is his cover of La Vie en rose

[–]Citery 6 points7 points ago

He is the most interesting man in the world.

[–]sicsemperTrex 9 points10 points ago

[–]thegreasythumb 2 points3 points ago

Wife and I had our first dance to this song last Sunday. It was amazing.

[–]sicsemperTrex 0 points1 point ago

classy choice. what a goddam romantic song.

Rockin' that horn in the desert wearing a goddamn black suit! I'd be dead in 5 seconds flat...

[–]jayzer 1 point2 points ago

In that heat the trumpet is at least five cents flat sharp.

FTFY

[–]TataTutu 4 points5 points ago

She was a beautiful lady.

[–]iv20 3 points4 points ago

Great pic, thanks for sharing!

[–]tamifromcali 3 points4 points ago

I shared this pic as soon as I saw it. There's something sweet & timeless about it.

[–]FooFooPottyMouf 2 points3 points ago

Not gonna lie...I shed a tear...

[–]leafrepublic 2 points3 points ago

"...and I think to myself what a wonderful world..." :-)

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

Probably the best date ever

[–]anthemlog 2 points3 points ago

This is a really good picture.

[–]FrankenBeens 2 points3 points ago

too bad there isn't a video of this

[–]kobra1294 2 points3 points ago

Classy and romantic!

[–]phammmmm 2 points3 points ago

Classy guy.

[–]faptastics 2 points3 points ago

Very nice!

[–]roflocalypselol 2 points3 points ago

What I want to know is how old-timey people always wore suits, etc. no matter the weather.

[–]thymeismoney 2 points3 points ago

Fuck yeah, Satchmo.

[–]CoolMcDouche 2 points3 points ago

Fucking CLASS.....

[–]LeFaceSwapper 7 points8 points ago

[–]dubey -1 points0 points ago

Louis Armstrong looks like a burn victim in this one

[–]ClawedMonet21 1 point2 points ago

How cool is that?!

[–]that_guy82 1 point2 points ago

I feel a "Good Guy Louis" meme about to happen. I'd make an attempt but I'm just not that clever goddammit.

[–]venandi 1 point2 points ago

This picture makes me really happy for some reason.

[–]DELTATKG 1 point2 points ago

I will never be this awesome. And I'm okay with admitting this.

[–]Dragonborn_11 1 point2 points ago

It looks like he is annoyingly trying to wake up Sphinx

[–]andiW 1 point2 points ago

damn, must have been pretty fucking hot in that suit.

[–]xoia08 1 point2 points ago

going on my bucket list. 1) find a boyfriend/husband who can play instrument or sing 2) take a photo of him serenading me in from of the the efing pyramid.

sigh, a girl can imagine.

raks1991 posts a repost on reddit for everyone, 2012

[–]Homer69 3 points4 points ago

I didnt know his wife was aunt jemima  

[–]Jacob19603 1 point2 points ago

This is a repost from a post with the same title from /r/HistoryPorn.

[–]generalguyz 9 points10 points ago

Yeah, I'm not subscribed to historyporn, so I'm glad someone reposted this to a bigger sub.

[–]javipug 7 points8 points ago

a nice [X-POST -R/HISTORYPORN] would've been nice

[–]generalguyz 1 point2 points ago

Fair enough.

[–]doug 2 points3 points ago

Technically reposts are allowed to different reddits, it's when the same post gets into the same reddit that there's trouble.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

I'm so embarrassed. This is the music I heard in my head when I saw this picture.

[–]jpellett251 1 point2 points ago

At least you're embarrassed.

[–]Hunterkiller1989 0 points1 point ago

What a man would do to get laid.

"Hey baby, Pops is gonna make that Sphinx's ears fall off!" toot toot toot toot...

[–]laxfanman119 0 points1 point ago

I had a chocolate lab when I was a kid and he was named Sachmoe after this great man.

[–]dirtymartini74 0 points1 point ago

Oh when the Sphinx...comes marching in...

[–]shadow8449 0 points1 point ago

I've seen this photo multiple times and I still let out a happy sigh each time I see it.

[–]masanian 0 points1 point ago

This classy motherfucker is one of the reasons I played trumpet in grade/high school

[–]science_diction 0 points1 point ago

Great pic! Any pictures of Sun Ra playing in front of the pyramids?

[–]thegingeruprising 0 points1 point ago

You'd think she might have been tired of his trumpet by now, "Ok Louis, I've heard it before and it doesn't sound any different in front of the sphinx... can't we just enjoy a little sandy peace and quiet?"

[–]Teds101 0 points1 point ago

That thing is a lot smaller than I thought.

[–]bonny_von_scotty 3 points4 points ago

Perspective.

[–]ABear123 -1 points0 points ago

Wow that must be quite the experience for her . . . listening to her husband the trumpet pro . . . play the trumpet...

[–]Meserlion -1 points0 points ago

Hes tromboning her!

[–]DJMarcusA74 -1 points0 points ago

I can guarantee you that within 20 seconds of this picture being taken, he got asked to buy a camel ride

[–]WanderingBard -1 points0 points ago

I can't tell which one is the Sphinx; their faces are too similar...

[–]numpers -4 points-3 points ago

Better pull out my cumbox for this one.

[–]topapito -3 points-2 points ago

Why is she dressed like a slave?
