Do you like having your picture taken? I don't, I absolutely hate it! but I am having to post some pics up on a dating site I am on. I hate hate hate having my photo taken, my skin looks so shiny, and for some reason I make the craziest faces, I look like a serial killer! Do you like having your picture taken? If not, why not?

totally... back in training days, me and a bud of mine worked in an airline ticketing office, and you just can't tell how funny all those faces on them passports, we laugh so hard that we had to move to the document storage room when we're archiving tickets so that we wouldn't disturb the dudes on the reservation department! ah, yes, good times. I can't wait 'til I see my own face on a passport and laugh the hell out loud at it!

i hate having my picure taken too just because i think some times you can feel like your posing and people will think that you love yourself, i don't mind group photos though they are great for memories. Maybe you should put on a silly kind of picture shows you can have fun and dont take yourself too seriously

Oh I like taking pictures. I am the exact opposite of you. I do pose a lot, i like to get snap shot taken by my hubby. And i do like to take photos with my friends too. If there is someone who is going to shot a pic, we would run towards them and pose a smile. Eversince I was in high school, most of my friends like photography so we do group pics and pose and smile and make wacky photos too, it was funny. I really enjoy photo takings and shooting . I like to take shots of places, wrong spellings in public, and a whole lot more. I also took a picture of people pooping in one place, it was so unimaginable to me. My very first time to see such people practice unsanitary way of dirtying their place. Anyway going back to photography, i like pictures. We have tons of them. I also posted some here and some on my social networking site that pays. Happy Mylotting.

I don't mind having my picture taken. A lot of times though I don't like how people take my picture! lol So I request to see it before they go posting it or what not. Or now with digital cameras it's nice to be able to see the the picture and decide if you want it retaken.

I also camera shy I don't want to post picture in sites that I have joined. Sometimes I hate when I need to go to photoshop for ID picture I hate the outcome of the picture. I'm not photogenic and I'm not look good in my pictures. I think if I'm beautiful I'm very proud to post my pictures in every sites but sad to say I'm not. That's why when someone asking me to see my pictures or my webcam I refuse because I'm very shy to show them my face.

I love having my picture taken! LOL! though it only started when I was I think already in college. I learned to be more confident about how I look, and I think it shows in the pictures, before I never really like having my picture taken cause I have bad teeth, but when I got it fixed, I smile everytime there is a reason to smile, specially when a camera is pointed at me. LOL.
