Freeze upsets people who have had close encounters with gun-wielding police forces.
Knees upsets people who have had close encounters with even worse gun-wielding police forces.
Tees reminds people of an awfully boring game.
Peas makes people want to have a slash.
Bees makes them come out in hives.

Photography started in France and and early photographer would always say:
"Regarde la caméra et dis fromage de prepuce!"
It caught on since then and was later translated into English.

Not a photo but I thought it funny that on the 1990 world cup England video introductions Gazza mouthed fuck off and apparently no one noticed until it was too late!

BRANDED they are thinking about the question and keeping still.
It was designed to keep people still rather than to smile it has just evolved as cameras have improved.

I'm told they enjoyed a "massive flash" back in the day.
Now all we've got is t'internet.

It’s actually due to old techniques in early photography. In order to get a solid image the subject had to remain in place for some time.
A small child kept moving and his father who was the photographer kept saying “keep still son” over and over again.
It didn’t work so his wife suggested asking the boy a question to keep him still whilst he thought of the answer.
Because he had kept saying “still son, still son” he immediately thought of Stilton so asked his son “what is Stilton?”
The boy thought for a moment. The picture was taking and the boy remained still and then said “cheese!”
The father wrote a letter to his local newspaper and the “cheese” spread from there.
That’s it

Because when photography started it was usually seen as good etiquette to cut one before the massive flash went off...
