Your Worst Shot 2010

Blurry Sasha
While I was choosing my Best Shot of 2010 (to add to the Flickr group), I came across this pic in my photostream. I remember taking it: it was the day I filmed this video of Sasha and I first tried taking a few pics of her. Unfortunately she was moving too fast for this shot and it was super blurry. I thought it looked funny so I decided to post it on Flickr anyway.

In the Your Best Shot 2010 group, there was a discussion on your worst shot of 2010. Hands down, I thought it was this one. So I didn't think anything of posting it to the thread. As I said in the discussion:

When my dad scratches a certain spot on my cat's back, she starts sticking
her tongue out. It's really funny to watch. I was trying to catch the
moment, but the lighting was bad and my camera failed horribly. I ended
up posting the picture because I thought it was funny at the time, but
now everytime I see it go by in my organizer, I keep wondering what I
was thinking when I posted it.


A few people in the discussion thought it was funny, but then I thought that
was that.

And then I wandered onto Flickr a few minutes ago and noticed some new comments on "Blurry Sasha." Looking at the times, these comments were from 18 minutes ago to 44 seconds ago. I was really bewildered until I glanced at the Flickr blog to see Sasha's blurry face staring back
at me. It seems "Your Worst Shot 2010" was featured on the Flickr blog, with Sasha being one of the prominent pictures! I guess it's not the best way to make it on the Flickr blog, but my stats are just exploding right now! As of right now I've had over 3,000 views on my photos, with over
half of that on Sasha's pic (and almost 60 comments, which range from people laughing and people finding it creepy)! "Blurry Sasha" has now surpassed "Boba Fett" on everything except Interestingness (it's in second for that).

If you have a moment, take a look at the whole thread. It's got some pretty funny pictures and explanations!
