Winspiration: 16 Crazy Stock Photos to Inspire Your WTFoto Contest Submissions

So far, there have been some excellent entries to our WTFoto Stock Photo Challenge, but the battle is not over yet. You still have a couple days left to submit your best find to the WTFoto community corkboard for a chance to take the crown. Remember, we're looking for an absurd stock photo image that nobody's ever seen before. Entries are due Monday, February 27th, 11:59:59pm PST. One second later and, well... I'll probably just let it slide. But 2 seconds later and you're out!

To help get your creative juices flowing, here are some examples of what holds stock in a stock-off from my personal collection:

Just a reminder—photos of Stockard Channing will not be accepted. Nor will photos of beef stock, Pippi Longstocking, or the New York Stock exchange.

DON'T FORGET TO CITE YOUR SOURCES, EVEN IF YOU ARE THE MODEL IN THE PHOTO (that's me in the last one.)

Can't wait to see what you all find.
