This is my entry for the Powerhouse Creatives (steemitbloggers@steemitbloggers) community contest run by zord189@zord189.

When I was thinking about which photo that I would like to feature as one of my most memorable photos... I had many to choose from. Most of them document happy memories or things that are really important or very special to me... and as such, they have most significance to myself and my family (and are also more private...)... and thus, would be interesting to others, but would lack the same emotional connection that makes the photo special in the first place...

However, I do have this photo that I've featured above as one that always brings a smile to my face. It comes from a time when phone cameras were slower than the speedy devices that we have today (especially on the Android side of things...), when it wasn't so uncommon for a bit of a lag (sometimes a good part of a second...) between pressing the button and the focussing and picture being taken!

It is a photo that most parents and pet owners will have much in common with... the moment when you set up a nice photo, when everyone is smiling and you take the photo... and something happens, that completely messes up the photo... which weirdly enough often turns out to be much more memorable than the original intended photo!

In this photo, we had visited Keukenhof (a famous Dutch flower festival) and it was a great day... it was a time when we only had the one child, and she was about 2 or 3. We were taking lots of photos, the day was great and it was a nice setting! This one, we were lined up to take the photo... and then suddenly, something caught the eye of our daughter... and off she went! So, the shot captures my wife suddenly taken by surprise as my daughter's butt heads off to the left! Funnily enough, the picture came out quite clearly... again, something that wasn't to be always expected back in the early days of Android phones!
