While we definitely have respect for those photographers that think out every shot and aspect of composition, there's something to be said about having time on your side where photos are concerned. Most of these happy (and unhappy) accidents seem to have had serendipity on their side. That's something that you really can't duplicate, no matter how hard you try.

In the words of Tenacious D, "Friendship is rare." And not many people do friendship quite like Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen. The septuagenarians (and celebrated actors) have shown the general public that they are not growing apart in old age. In fact, many of these photos from the last decade show that they have a whole lot more spunk than people half their age. Many of these photos portray the dynamic duo gallivanting around Stewart's New York City haunts - and having an insane amount of fun while doing so. So try to curb that FOMO and enjoy the pics as best as you can. These charming men make it easier than usual!
Photographer Samantha Bishop is nothing if not a devoted daughter. When her mother requested a saucy photoshoot, Bishop just had to make her mother's wishes come true - even if her demands were that the shoot take place in a bathtub full of yarn. Both mother and daughter seem to have gotten very into the photoshoot. Mom hamming it up for the camera, daughter incorporating some hilarious details (Werther's, anyone??). The photos were a Christmas gift for Bishop's father. His reaction, which is at the end of the photo set, is absolutely priceless.
Samuel L. Jackson is legendary for many reasons; his prolific acting career, fondness for expletives, political activism...and selfies? The award-winning actor has a serious penchant for taking awkward selfies with just a fraction of his face in the corner of the frame. The reason behind this bizarre phenomenon? He wants people to know that it's really him taking the photo and posting it to social media. This is refreshing, especially during a time when most celebrities hire people to run their accounts. We've put together a few of his greatest hits for your enjoyment - and you can find more on his Facebook.
