Long Awkward Pose

"Never stop smiling," says Katie Dippold, a comedian and, as her bio reveals, "a big jerk." She is also the proud owner of a new camera, which spurred a fresh idea for an impish video blog.

"It's simple, really. People look foolish when posing for a picture. So tell your loved ones you would like to take their photo... then secretly videotape them the whole time."

Footage of vanity pranks with friends, family, and strangers awaiting their big, historical moments are viewable at Long Awkward Pose. Submissions are welcome.

Cheese.
