Have you ever been surprised to see a stranger appear to pose like he’s part of your photos? It’s no accident. In fact, there’s actually a term for what he’s doing. He is PhotoBombing. The term refers to people who intentionally jump into the scene of a photo to land themselves a spot in your photo archives. It’s a huge hit, and people are actually creating websites dedicated to this ‘hobby.’ I’ll admit, I’ve done it too, but only once or twice. Generally I wait til the photo is taken or sneak behind the photographer to avoid ruining their image. Thankfully with today’s digital cameras, it’s easy to spot instantly if the photo has been ruined. If it’s not salvageable, you know right away so you can instantly retake it. Back when it was all processed film, PhotoBombers could easily destroy your one shot at preserving a memory! References: listoftheday.blogspot, buzzfeedFiled In: |

Loves it. BTW, Maxim used to have a feature called, "Who's That Guy." In short, you would submit photos like this and viewers were challenged to identify the jackass. |

Photobomb Collections (LINK)These photobombed pictures made me think of SpoiledPhotos.com--a site filled with user-submitted "That Guy" photos like Jeremy mentioned Maxim used to run. Hilarious... By: Marissa Brassfield on Feb 15, 09 |
