So a few of us are talking and looking at photos of our group. Each one of us thinks everyone else looks great in the photos. "Oh, that's a good one of you!" "Love your smile!" But unanimously, we all hate how we look in these same photos! "Oh, I look fat!" "I'm burning that picture of me!" "OH, I HATE having my picture taken!"
Seriously, we are all looking at the same pictures! But, I must agree with my friends. I think I look awful in all the pictures, and I think my friends look great!
Does anyone actually LIKE having their picture taken? Do like how you look in most photos?

I don't really feel comfortable when someone is taking my picture. It seems like forever when they're trying to do that but I do like to see myself in pictures. Cheers!!

I don't feel comfortable when being photoed,I think it's because I do not have confidence of myself,perhaps what we need to do is loving ourselves more:)

I don't know which is worse, those surprise shots, or the overly staged plastic people shots.

personally i do not like my pictures taken, in fact all the pictures ive got so far were somehow taken while i wasn't looking and later found out.
but the most amazing thing about this is the that, we all looked at the pictures afterward and just have fun with them, because most those shots really look funny

It is ok for me if someone takes my picture, especially after these digital cameras , i have a chance to see if it looks good or bad, But i really don't like people publish my pictures in their facebook accounts. I already warned my friends about it/

Yes, I do love digital cameras and the ability to delete all the bad shots!

I like having my photos taken but I don't look pretty good in all those photos especially when they take a stolen shot of you. Pictures are pictures. They don't lie and they tell me I don't look good all the time.

I actually like having my photo taken. I love photos so much and enjoy looking at them because aside from capturing and preserving moments, I also get to see how much I have changed through the years. I like how I look in my pictures. I just don't like stolen shots.@casinocat (284)

This would be ideal for me. To be able to look through a lovely scrapbook of memories and actually like how I look in the pictures.

Personally speaking, I don't like having my pictures taken . Maybe I am not a confident person or something. I just feel a little embarrassed when other person,especially whom I am not quite familiar with, take pictures of me. That's why I don't have as many pictures as most girls at my age.

I am more conscious of how I look in photos than how I look in real life. I guess since photos aren't going to change over time.....

I hate having my picture taken, especially with my family because everyone has to take like 10 pictures of the same thing, or they can't get their camera to work. It takes forever and I can't hold a smile for that long so I always end up looking bad in the picture.

I love taking pictures and I do like having my picture taken. Unfortunately I am overweight and of course I look even heavier in pictures, but I still like it. It is a way to capture memories for the future. You can always have a recorded document of what everyone looked like or to remember a fun or important day. I love pictures!
Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

No, I don't like how I look in most photos. Nice thing is the webcam though. You can take pics like you do on a digital and then erase those you don't like. It can be fun. Not like the disposable cameras and so forth. I have so many pictures of my back because that is all people could catch.

Well some pictures I take I look great in while others I cannot stand it really depends who and where I am in the picture. I also believe we have a good side and a bad side in terms of having our pictures taken. I have wanted to be a model but I am on the heavey side so someday maybe I could but until I lose some weight I think I stay where I am. Take care and happy mylotting to you casinocat.
