Irishman accidentally records entire Vegas trip in selfie mode

However, it turns out Griffin is, shall we say, a little technically-challenged.

That is definitely the case for Joseph P Griffin, who filmed his entire holiday to Las Vegas on a GoPro camera recently, only to discover that he had shot the footage in selfie mode.

Instead of capturing the famous Las Vegas strip, he mostly managed to capture close-ups of his own face while pointing the camera the wrong way. Overall, it seems he had a great time visiting Sin City, and it nearly makes a better video since it actually includes the traveller rather than the sights that everybody else takes photos and video of. According to the Mirror, when Griffin got home, his son, Evan, saw the amusing side of the whole incident and posted the amusing four-minute video on Facebook and YouTube, saying, “So… gave my dad my GoPro while he was in Las Vegas”.

“So my dad being my dad, and a culchie didn’t know which way to point the [camera]” he wrote.

If you ask me, Evan Griffin is probably much happier to have video evidence of his dad’s terrible/amazing Forrest Gump impression than he would video of Trump Tower.
