Thanks! Well, now you know. I used to post more photos of myself, but I guess that was years and years ago?

I'm usually very camera-shy in real life. When someone pulls out a camera, I immediately begin to make awkward faces.

yeah maybe it was, because i don't remember. i also have a terrible memory though!

i hate having my photo taken, so i understand kind of. i am a) not photogenic and b) i recently gained weight so i just don't even want to go there ;)

I think my biggest problem is that I'm a total control freak. I know what angles and lighting situations don't work for me and I avoid them like the plague. When friends start to take pictures of me in public, my reaction is like a vampire to crucifixes and garlic. Because I know that if I comply, the result will be a red-eyed, poorly-lit photo where I look like I've got a triple chin! That is how I look in all my official identification pictures, because government and university bureaucracies are cruel.

i totally know what you mean. i have to take like, 20 photos of myself to get 1-2 good ones.

i avoid cameras at all costs. i just put my hand up or turn away. most of my friends know not to even try it anymore!

I usually end up taking hundreds just for one. I made the mistake of telling my wedding photographers not to take too many pictures of me, because I was anxious about bad photos and being the center of attention. As a result, there are really only a handful of pictures I don't despise of myself from the wedding. I should have told them to take thousands!
