Are you camera shy?

I'm sorry about your mother. I think it's a great idea to start taking more pictures of yourself for your kids. You may not like the pictures but I'm sure your sons would love them. I'm camera shy but will take pictures now and then.

Definitely not. I carry my digital camera with me everywhere. I love taking pictures and being in them. They're the best way to preserve memories.

I used to be camera shy too but then my grand ma once told me that those who are beautiful look terrible in the photos while those who are ugly have beautiful faces in the photos. I don't know how far her old school theory is right but it has alwys worked for me. try kereping that in mind then you wont worry about your picture so much. I was just 12 when she told me that, but it still helps me get over my shyness.lol

I don't like see myself at picture or video camera.Even when we travel for i have something to remember.I don't know if really you can call this -camera shy-.Just i know that i don't like my face at picture.We buy video camera only when i got born my son.I always take him picture or video.I have soooooooo much video of him.When he be little older he asked from me take video together.Almost the more time i refuse or i stay just for some second.It is something i still do.When i read your post i thinking that one day my son can be at your place dreaming had more picture of mine.I hope i will change soon the way i feel and start see my face more often at video.

I love to take pictures of myself. Since I got my first digicam I have been taking a lot of pictures. I have never thought of the wonderful memories my future children will have from my photos. Thanks for opening my eyes.

I am obsessed with pictures and i never was shy (cam or another).I am very open and sincere. I have so many pictures with me than my co-workers when see me with can will make faces!ha ha ha!! augusta

We don't have kids so well that won't be an issue. I don't like my picture taken. I am usually the person behind the camera taking all the picture. Once in a great while I will be in front of the camera. Very rarely.

I LOVE the camera, I should have been a movie star. LOL But as I get older I do not like the way I look in the pictures. I swear my mirror and the pictures do not look alike at all. I hate the way the camera makes me look distored and fatter than I think I am. So I am now getting camera shy after years of loving it!

I am not really picture/camera shy. I used to be, when I was younger, because I did not like the way that my pictures would turn out, however, I have begun to get ready for a picture, even if it is just having good lighting, a good hairstyle, nice outfitt, or makeup. It makes them all the more special and I feel more photgenic. However, a lot of my days of not being in pictures has carried over, because I am usually the one that is snapping all the pictures or behind the video camera. Sometimes, it is the pictures that we want most, that we do not have.

I'm not camera shy at all ... I love photographs - taking them or having pictures taken of me ... My friends and family start to run when the camera comes out as I seem to capture all our 'memorable moments' (i.e. embaressing pictures) I find that taking pictures of my friends - brings back a flood of memories when I view the photo later in the future long after it was taken. I see old photos of myself and go over those phases in my life. So for all those that are camera shy - don't be - everyone of us has a beautiful quality that sparks through the photos of our lives :)

Even im not thrilled but while im giving boses to the photographs my friends are teased me. Then i made a grazy smile..I think photographies are the past remembering thing in our life time.. Hearty codolance for ur mother..Dont think that one. We have so many friends in our life, keep touch with them.They will forget ur alone think..

here I am...I AM A TRUE CAMERA SHY....My parents are always telling me that when I was a child I was escaping any man or woman with a camera and asking a picture of me...therefore my father was always running after me...poor him...while growing up I simply asked no and refused to pose for a picture or find it a torture pictures at school and so on...but when I started taking care of our old pictures album, well I understood what my parents and you were telling me..pictures are memories and they can remind us of people we love...and now now I want to have pictures of my family around me and I am trying to have pictures of me with my beloved people because I want to remind me of them and to remind me of how I looked like at a particular age...that is ..pictures are still a torture for me...but I am doing my best to bear the pain!!!!!have a nice day

ya somewhat i feel shy when i am in frount of camera.but in while i am at the age of 18 but now i am 22 age .............................................................................................................................................................................

i am very shy from camera cuz most of my photos r so bad plz reply for me about your opinion about my photo in mylot

I am sorry you lost your Mom. I know it is so comforting to have photos around. I am camera shy myself, and my friends must have hundreds of photos of handbags, pillows and jackets which I have flung in front of my face at the second they tried to take the photo! Popular I am not, especially in the days when films were expensive! I do allow a photo to be taken every couple of years, just for the family, but that is about it. However, since that diabolical invention, the phone that takes photos, my niece has compiled an awe inspiring collection of photos of Auntie looking silly, falling over and falling asleep! Remember though, it is not the photo that makes the emotion, but the memories the photo invokes, so concentrate of giving your boys loads of memories and the photos will be merely the icing on the cake.

I am indeed camera phobic, i should say, because my face is not photogenic, i hate being photographed. This has been a problem with me since my childhood and as proverb says that habits are hard to die or forget, i still hate being in front of camera.

nope, i am a camfreak, i love to take pictures of myself and my family, i have phone with cam and i take pictures everytime.i love it.

This is a very good reason for wanting and feeling the need for photos and i agree that you are very smart in wanting to take as much as you can now. I personally can be camera shy at times and i never seem to like any of my pictures of myself but i guess we all feel this way at times!

i don't like my picture to be taken. i would rather be the one taking picture of someone as its will be much better to me.

I hate having my picture taken, but like you I lost someone I love and cherish the pictures of have of them. It has changed my outlook on getting my picture taken. I don't like the way I look in pictures, but then that must be the way I do look. So snap away, but please don't over do it.
