Before digital cameras, it was tempting to treat every single photograph with archival reverence -- even the mistakes: the blurry, the unflattering, the classic "thumb over the lens" move. You name it, we left it in the shoebox with the keepers.

The Deleted Images blog brings together hundreds of samples in its ever-growing and oddly addictive gallery, subtitled the Junkyard of Art. Browse missteps from all over and submit your own deleted images.
