Photobombing
From Wikipedia: Photobombing is the act of purposely putting oneself into the view of a photograph, often in order to play a practical joke on the photographer or the subjects. https://i.postimg.cc/m2Qx0gJZ/Sally-...4095065677.jpg This image taken in Wales in c.1853 is possibly the earliest example of a photobomb. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photobombing |
