When i was young i never want the camera to face at me and take pictures of me..maybe because i lack the confidence and when browsing my pictures..the lack of confidence really shows...but all changed when my friends at work covinced me to forget my shyness and just smile at the camera...and suddenly it came too easy...now the shyness was gone and i even know how to project and to pose...what about you?do you like to be photographed?

i like photograph some beautiful views i saw instead of take photoes myself. photoes can be preserved as a clue of your life ,but do not take too much ,somefriends of mine take the photo everyday,i think it is wasteful,nothing would change in a day ,and no difference between the photoes of today and yesterday.

too much would become boring and monotonous don't you think? i really plan to take up photography as a hobby but as for now i don not own a single camera..i do not have a budget for that yet because they say photography is an expensive hobby...maybe later on when i can afford it..i will take pictures of beautiful sceneries in my country.

I like to be photographed... I just hate the way I look in pictures! Haha, that's not entirely true. I do like how I look sometimes. I just hate seeing bad photos of myself, you know? But yah, I don't really mind being photographed. I do enjoy when I know I will be photographed, so I dress nicely, I do my hair and make up, etc. I just don't much care for having my photo taken when I look like crap!

I am not a camera hog, I don't need to be in every photograph, the centre of attention, but I don't mind being photographed. My husband and I had our second wedding ceremony last week (we eloped so we wanted to do something with family and friends) and we got a lot of great pictures of the two of us. I loved the pictures. They were candid shots, as we did not bother to hire a professional photographer.

I am just the opposite lol... When I was younger I loved getting my picture taken...I went out of my way to do something so mom and dad would get the camera out...However, anymore I would just prefer not to be in front of the camera... I think because I am always taking pictures of my kids now so i just got really use to being behind the camera and i am happy there...

Yes and no: - Yes, because I kinda like that people admires and get inspired on me. - No, because I know there's nothing to be admired on me. ;D But, if I'm the photographer, no problem about taking photos. ^^
