My name is Sharon and I am a habitual photobomber. I hung out at the Adventurers Club, an interactive comedy club at WDW’s now-defunct Pleasure Island (nowadays the whole area is part of the “Disney Springs” shopping and dining district) for about 16 years and managed to photobomb literally hundreds and hundreds of people taking pictures inside the much-loved attraction. I’ve only found one online so far:
But I keep looking. ๐
Around 2007 or so, Joe and I decided to take my photobombs to a new level and started posing them. Joe is really good at setting the photo up so I can make the best of my photobombs. My best are usually the ones of U.S. and, to a lesser extent, international icons:
And yep, that is indeed me wearing a shirt that says PHOTO BOMB NINJA
Don’t get me wrong…on some occasions, the photobomb just doesn’t work out as well as I’d like.
I’m an equal opportunity photobomber, by the way. If an icon isn’t available, I’ll just start photobombing people:
Sometimes I’ll photobomb friends (with them totally knowing it)
Sometimes they’ll photobomb me ๐
Sometimes we’ll photobomb together
And every once in a while, a friend will, shall we say, follow my lead, just for fun ๐
My photobombs have gone so far that they’ve been purposely included in a performance:
Complete strangers have ASKED me to photobomb their pictures:
Sometimes I’ll get to photobomb myself:
And probably THE BEST photobomb was this one. As always, planned and posed, but looking great in the end ๐
So that’s how I have fun when I travel…or while hanging out with friends…or when I’m at the grocery store :-). How about you?
