The worst photos of the Mona Lisa you've seen.

Seeing the Mona Lisa in person was, as expected, a disappointment. Online notes read beforehand definitely downplayed how small it was, yet it's quite possibly THE most famous painting in the world. And year after year, people continue taking their own photos of the Mona Lisa, but at a quality that would never match the extremely high resolution copies found online (of course, let's keep sentimental value in mind, I get that).

So instead of trying to take my own nice clear shot of the Mona Lisa, I focused on taking the worst possible photos I could. Low shutter speed, overexposure, bad framing, taking a photo through another camera, focus problems; and on and on. There's definitely a bit of teenage edginess leaking in these photos, but I digress, I'm just having fun :)

Thanks to the stranger next to me for helping with their phone, and pointing at the painting for me 😆
