the ultimate compendium of accidental serial production and gestic quotation marks

[SimonSawSunlight]

I started a collection/album on flickr called "the ultimate compendium of accidental serial production and gestic quotation marks" and it's exactly about that:

Simon, this is a great thread and a wonderful theme. These are not accidents. They're really signs of a great eye and a quick trigger finger. Nice work and smart of you to put these images together.

Amazing thread! It's like a pictorial "where's waldo?" kind of hunt for similarities.

Great idea for a thread, Simon. And great shots too!

Do these qualify?

Ohmanohmanohman I grabbed one of these shots this morning while waiting for the streetcar. I saw it happening and my heart leapt into my throat, but I happened to have my (brand new to me) Olympus XA in a pocket so I was able to snag it in half a second or less.

There's a chance I would've caught it if this quotation thread hadn't been fresh in my mind, but I doubt it. Y'know that thread talking about whether or not a photography forum is good for photography? Well, there. This place actively inspired me, and pushed me forward. Thank you, rff, and thanks to all the posters above: these shots are amazing.

Heh, even today's daily Photoist on Torontoist reminded me of this thread:

(How was this reply too short?! Word, word, word. Word! Words. Many words.
Sentences! Filler, filler, filler, lorem, ipsum, hello, hello, goodbye.)

Surely, people must have more examples lurking on their hard drives?
