To balance out the alleged favoritism shown by Ed's featured article being
posted to the socials, may I propose posting to the socials one of my
successful FP nominations when it becomes POTD?

Hi all,
We just published "The first smile and photobomb ever photographed" to the
blog: http://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/09/18/first-smile-photobomb-wales/
Thank you to Jason for the hard work he's put in here and Daria for putting
us in touch.

Take a look at the first smile ever photographed:
Take a look at possibly the first #phobobomb:
*Facebook/Google+:*
Wales, 1853: photography history was made.
We will never know what made Willy smile for his aunt.
An 1800s #photobomb looks a bit different than today's.
I'm always open to different or improved messaging. Thanks!
