Hi Jerome, Welcome to the list. Not sharp pictures are fairly easy, I've gotten to where I can do them just about every time.
First, you need to drink more (or more potent) coffee and studiously practice bad technique (any of the following may help): shoot from too far away; jab at the shutter release button, don't press it smoothly; make sure you are just starting to inhale or exhale as you jab at it; startle your subject as you jab (shouting something martial arts-ish or "Smile, damnit!" is good for this); hold the camera one-handed if using an autofocus; if you use manual focus, hold your eye away from the finder (seeing only a postage stamp-sized area at half-arms length is probably about right); sway; slide the diopter correction on the finder as far as it will go in the wrong direction: keep your feet close together, stand on tiptoe, and keep your knees together and slightly bent; try for longer exposures; and stay away from films that enhance reds.
