Thanks to a post on “List Of The Day” I was introduced to a new term, photobombing (people who hilariously ruin your nice little picture). We all have Facebook profiles, have you been photobombed recently? Share a pic or two…Email me @ justin@justinfenwick.net!
Edit: Turns out the term photobombing is used in another way, taking your own photos and attaching them to public places, for anyone to find and enjoy, critise, laugh at or appreciate. See photobombing’s stream or Photobombing.com.
Three tips on photobombing -
1) Get ready for the posed shot. You have time to plan your attack.
2) Know the photographer. This is key because you don’t want them pausing or editing the shot to avoid you (although a good photobomber can go unnoticed).
3) Informal events! Professional photos will be edited.
Recently I was hooked on this mini-series on the history of the English language. It turns out the language played a back seat for a while but thanks to its versatility it held on throughout the years. Often as a symbol of rebellion and the common folks’ vernacular, the shapes the language took throughout invasion and change of rule is remarkable. We owe it’s difficulty to the mutt of a language that it is as well as to the traditionalists in the English Chancery. They, in printing national texts and laws, after going English, often chose versions/spellings of the words that weren’t written as they were pronounced but stayed true to their various roots (of which there are many). Many initial texts, even the first prints of the Bible, are the first time it is believed certain spellings and many new words were chosen/added into everyday use.
I’ve been inspired. Write on, speak on, and read on. Story sharing, adaptability, the Bible, and rebellion should all be something to be inspired by.
Our adulthoods are framed by transitions at different stages in our life. Yet there is one thing in common, we are all becoming something. Thanks for sharing in the experience.
