Description
I was at another immigration rally on Sunday, and this guy was just standing there watching and I thought he has an interesting face.So I walked up to him and asked him if I could take a couple pictures.
The first shot, he gave me this cheesy smile and a double peace sign.
So I jokingly said to him, you don't have to smile its not a school photo.
He laughed and then gave me this amazing pose.
I laughed and gave him a thumbs up and carried on my way. I heard him yell back at me, "Enjoy every moment of your life!"
It was only when I got home and looked at the image on the computer that I noticed he had a safety pin through his nose.

lol i love it. when i take photos of my friends they never want to smile, but i always got to joke around about 'you know, just because your black doesn't mean you CAN'T smile at the camera!!' (from family guy) and i usually get the half chuckle that comes out after that hehe...

lol, sometimes if you take a picture of yourself, or tell them you took the photo then take another one right after that, or flash them in the eyes with the flash a bunch of times you get interesting responses.
