Cameraphone Tripod Helps You Take Better Crappy Shots

Nothing bugs me more than going to a concert/show and seeing a bunch of people hold up their Chocolates and Treos as they try to take blurry, dark pictures of whatever it is I’m trying to watch. Why people would wanna save such crap images on their phone is beyond me, but maybe these are…
