My Grandfather

This is my grandfather. I do not possess a sharp photo of him. I have taken countless pictures of him and none are sharp. I don’t know why. He has huge misshapen hands (according to my father), I’m wondering if the problem is something to do with anomalous physiognomy, which I’ve failed to notice. He has been able to defeat every camera I’ve pointed at him in the last 20 years, the 50D being no exception (don’t suppose he can be simulated in laboratory conditions).
