Seventy Seven

While on vacation with my dad last week, there was one constant source of entertainment for me – it made me laugh numerous times throughout the day and it still makes me laugh even now when I think about it. Aren’t you just dying to know what it is? It’s my dad’s trigger finger. I’m sure you are confused, so, please allow me to explain.

While walking the streets of France and London last week, my dad always kept his camera on and as a result, he was almost constantly taking pictures unknowingly. I would occasionally hear the camera click and start laughing because the camera would be in my dad’s pocket or in his hand or even pointed up towards his face.

Every day I would hear the occasional click of the camera while it was dangling alongside my dad and it never ceased to make me laugh. Towards the end of the week, my dad started laughing too and often he wouldn’t hear it click so when I started laughing out of the blue, he would say, “Did I do it again?”

Needless to say, the title of this post is the number of pictures taken by mistake with my dad’s camera last week. There was even a series of 21 photos in a row from our outing at Versailles. I think they were all of his finger.

So, without further ado, I present to you a sampling of my dad’s now infamous accidental photos. I hope they give you a chuckle just as they did us.

There were a lot with this red toned theme

There were a lot like this too - maybe the inside of his pocket?
