that love to play around with your camera and take a million pictures of yourself just to see how a new look looks like or so you can change your user pictures on websites a lot etc? when i was a teen i did some modeling and growing up with a photography nut brother taking pictures of me all the time has made me love cameras.. i like taking pictures of anything but i also like taking pictures of myself to just see how i look or play around and be silly etc.. heck i think if anyone other than me or my cameras self timer even takes pictures of me they usually look like crap to me.. every time my hubby takes a picture of me i some how look like a troll haha!!
after you take silly pictures what do you do with them? do you send them to friends for them to laugh at or put them as your user pic to be unique or delete them? maybe im just a narcissist lol.. but when i think of narcissist i always picture people that only care about themselves and i care about others too much.. oh well.. at least its something to do right?

Every time i take pics of myself i don't like them. But i do like to take fun silly pics....why just stand around and smile?? Where is the fun in that?? I do like the ones we recently took together, and i am pretty sure now my family thinks were are lesbians.

candids are the best!! i hate stuffy ones where every one poses perfectly.. those are good for maybe 1 time a year to hang on your wall but they arent interesting!!

I like playing around with my camera and sending pictures to my hubby 
If my pics some out nice I keep them around for awhile, maybe put 'em up on facebook.
I don't think you are a narcissist!

i know! when i was little and there were no digi cams i had the regular kind but my family was poor and couldnt buy me film often so i had to hope they came out ok.. of course being young most didnt so it was a waste of money!! i love being able to just delete the crappy ones and be able to take more good ones!!

before i got a camera with a self timer i didnt have any pics (from my camera) of myself and so when i finally got one i started playing around with it.. after awhile you can figure out what to do to look some what decent but its funny since some times you think your posing great and you just come out looking all funky.. but at least with me taking the pics no one will see them but me so i can delete them lol

thats why i use the self timer because i cant hold it up to myself and do any good.. i love taking pictures of my pets and etc.. for the longest time i didnt have a camera with a timer so i didnt have any personal pics of myself since i always took the pics (other than people with their cameras) but since i got with myspace and other places and needed pictures and hated cropping ones i just started playing around with it and it was fun lol

Personally I see nothing wrong with people who are always wanting a lot of pictures taken of themselves, but I on the other hand have no recent pictures of myself online, so that is why the one in my Profile was taken almost 3 yrs. ago, but it is the same picture I use on all of my different sites where I can have a profile so at least people will recognize me more this way. I guess you could say even though I have owned a Digital Camera for yrs. now I have never been a Camera nut.

i am sad to say that i am not like that, moonlitmagikchild. it has never been my habit to be taking pictures of myself.
truth is, there are times when i had regretted that i didn't take enough number of pictures of myself when i was young. this happened when my young children (they were in preschool then) asked me if i had some pictures taken while i was still a child, then as a student, then as a career woman.

No I am not. I save the picture taking of my children. For my avatars I usually use pictures that I have on file.

I never take pictures of myself nor do I like when people take pictures of me. I think it's weird to look at myself. I don't even own a mirror. Okay, that is a lie. I do own a mirror but I rarely use it. I only use a mirror when I wake up or go out in public. It's not that I hate how I look. I just don't care to see myself all the time. I'm not a camera person. I rarely take photos of people. I like to take pictures of plants and animals. People don't interest me at all.

isnt it cool how with the right person and the right camera anything can become interesting?? i was taking pictures at a graveyard and one of them have this cross with a celestial type sun on it but the sun but the sun was partially broken but the pictures came out really good and modern art type style to where it became something really interesting instead of something just broken in a graveyard

I am always use to delete them from my camera, because i need perfect pictures. Even when I am taking it for some one if they are not good I'll delete them not all that is also to some extend but maximum I'll capture pictures when they are ready to captures as they are. I'll take mine some time with my mobile. They are actually good but sometime because of light,sharpness and shaking cases I'll delete and take new and clear.

I love to take pictures too. And I got like a million of them sitting in a corner of my hard disk waiting for me to edit them.
That is the problem with me. I love to take the pictures. But after that, the editing and sorting work is what I do not like. Very tedious in my opinion.
If only there was an easier way to take pictures and then not have to worry about the sorting or editing and enhancements afterwards.
I am not much of taking pictures of myself. I prefer to be the one honing the camera rather than be one in the pictures. :p

ha ha ha ha ha... you actually edit till you ran out of harddish space?!?
You must have tried to enlarge a really large size of your picture eh?
Well, for lighting and color tempreture for the pictures, you can always play around with the settings to see if anything can be adjusted.
What camera are you using? Maybe I can help?

i love editing till my photoshop corrupted and my pc went nuts and thinks it has half the hard drive space so i cant use any programs but gimp and gimp is annoying to me.. when i had photoshop i was always playing around and having fun but right now i dont like too take as many pics of myself because i dont have a good program to edit and i have yet to master how to get the lighting right with my new camera so i really need to be able to adjust colors and darkness etc
