Skeletons, Statues, Vampires and Other Surprises

All of these pictures have one thing in common- I took them by accident.

I was either aiming at something else or I just clicked my camera at the ‘wrong time’.

I wish I had the talent to take my camera out in the world and find these oddly entertaining moments on purpose but I don’t have that talent and I don’t think it’s a skill that anybody can learn.

So once and awhile I go through my photo gallery and get a fun surprise. I suppose that will have to be good enough.

I was checking the time on my phone when I  must have pushed the wrong icon and got this- according to Google it’s about a week old.

I was taking a picture of this marble tomb because I liked the pink marble and the textures when I got photo bombed by a vampire. No fooling, on that day a group of vampires were taking a tour of the cemetery and one caught me:

I got off the train and was putting my phone into my backpack when I heard that click sound my app makes when I take pictures. I didn’t look at it right away because I new I was standing near a light post and who cares about those? When I went to delete the photo I saw the sticker:

I had no idea the statue was a person in makeup- I just liked her dress so I took out my camera and snapped the  picture and right after that the Statue started to dance. It was a cool experience.

RDP Sunday: SNAPSHOT

These are three snapshots that I’ve taken over the years where the subjects all look like they had something to say, or maybe I interrupted them mid-thought.

They’re interesting to me for that reason because I’m no photographer, seriously I just point and click and hope for the best. In these cases, I think I did ok.
