We love our cameras. We love capturing memories, our passions, our styles, and our personalities. And we love immortalizing them in photos.
But there are two sides to every story.
And there are moments in time where taking photos were a bad idea. But there’s nothing you can do about it, you can only hide it.
Unfortunately, there are people who are brave enough to show it to the world. Or showed it online for the people without their knowledge. Like these people.
At least they’ve find a good way to laugh about it! Just like this young lady who caught a fish with the picture being hung up in her elementary school for an entire weelk.
