Do you like to have your photo taken?

No, I look terrible on pictures. I look at least 20 pounds heavier on them!

Not since I was about 8 months pregnant. I was swollen from head to toe then, and haven't lost much of the baby weight since I had her.. so I still avoid cameras.

No, but I don't object as much as I used to because I realize how annoying that is to the person with the camera.

I hate it.

I really don't mind.....

Just make sure you ask my permission first as not to get injured.

Yes, I admit it...

I really dont like being on photos, thats why I try to be the one holding the camera when I can.

sometimes, for mementos

People tell me I'm really photogenic, so I usually don't mind. I know how to smile so I'll look good on film.

no, but I make an effort to appear that I do because I like having pictures of myself and friends and I think holding up your hand or running away isn't cool

I like it when I feel good about myself, if I'm having a bad day then I'd rather not.

Sure. Though lately my hair sucks. But that doesn't stop me.

If I know about it

Only sometimes. Generally I prefer to be behind the camera.

Sort of- it's more like I think I rarely look good in pictures, but I am flattered if someone wants to take my picture. Others aren't as critical of me in pictures as I am, and every once in a while a good one comes out, and mostly the person taking the pictures is having fun, so there's a net positive in the whole equation. I prefer candids to "Hey everyone, stop what you're doing and look at my camera, so I can have a picture of what everyone looks like when they've stopped talking to look at a camera." style shots.

Yup

I don't care if my photo is taken or not.

Yes, when I look good in the picture.

It steals your soul.

That doesn't answer the question, jjg- do you like having your soul stolen?

Not normally

Abnormally?

Not at all

Ughhh, I despise having my photo taken. I think I'm blessed with an unfailing ability to be unphotogenic at all times, and as such when I hear the dreaded words "oooo there's one of YOU in this lot", my heart sinks and I cringe.

only when I think and feel good!!!

Having 'photos taken of myself nude in public places if fun, but beyond that, no.

blue- are you hadley?

magblast: What does that mean? What's hadley?

i guess you're not hadley

megablast

Not particularly. Well, kind of, actually. But they always come out looking... well looking like this:

I also prefer candid shots... generally of other people. I love my zoom lens for that reason... I am able to get those good candid shots without being obvious about it.

Recently, I had my camera / zoom lens out at a conference, to take photos of the organizers. We were outside, and I'd just put my camera down, with the zoom lens still extended to maximum. Suddenly, a big yellow swallowtail butterfly wandered through, and lit on a leafy branch right behind me. Oh, wow. What a fortuitous moment! I got some amazing close-up shots of it. I can't wait to get them developed

only when I look good!

So you always look pixelated and out-of-focus?

I wish those were the worst of my problems.

Depends how I look.

I think I just saw the devil...
