Unexpectedly dropping in a photo, with the sole purpose of spoiling it, is called photobombing and despite being mostly used when it is appropriate, a serious ceremony like the second inauguration of Barack Obama as the President of the United States was full of such events, courtesy of famous people, including former US President, Bill Clinton.

iPhoneography is becoming an art as iPhone users can take advantage of the smartphone’s powerful camera. However, one of the things that everybody hopes it will not catch on is called iPadography. A person in a red fedora decided to take a photo of the President using his iPad in front of a million people, while millions more were watching the event live on TV.

To cap it all off, comes the greatest photobomb in history as Obama’s daughter, Malia, leaned in front of her sister’s attempt to take a decent photo of her parents’ romantic kiss. As Sasha was photographing the presidential kiss on Inauguration Day, Malia was thinking about photobombing it. The result is hilarious, just like the reaction of the First Lady.
