well because they, the pictures, capture just a fragment of reality... and that's irrelevant to the whole;)

There are a few I like although I dont like any recent body shots of myself. I like a few face shots it all depends on like the lighting and trying different things (like looking away from the camera, different positions, etc.) Sometimes I would just practice with the digital camera taking different shots and out of like 20 I would be happy and keep maybe 2 or 3 that look nice. Just be experimental and try it with a digital cause you can always erase lol :P

I don't like photos of myself very much either. I think I come out good in one out of every ten photos, if that. I don't mind taking them either. It's good to have photos for memories, but I don't think I am very photogenic. Most pictured of me are not very flattering.

When I was a kid I don't like photos of myself. But now, yes, I do like my photos. I'm not that pretty, but I try to enjoy photos of myself. However, I don't like someone take my photos, I usually take it my own..

I used to HATE my photos, all of them. I liked my senior photos and that was about it. But then in just the past few years I have gotten to where I actually like most pictures of me. Its weird and I don't know why all of the sudden I started to like them of myself, it just happened.

Not really, though there are one or two of me that I like. I'm not sure why I generally dislike my photos. I think it's because I'm just not that photogenic so I just don't really look good in them. I look better in person, I think.

Yes I agree I look in the mirror and think I look fine then see photos later and think how did I go out looking like that.

I don't like photos of myself. And even having a photographer friend, who agrees with me that I am not photogenic....That's pretty bad when the photographer says that! huh?!!!

Yes, even though I'm not that pretty.. but I'd love photos of myself esp. if its a good capture. :) I even like to see myself having a boyfriend who has a hobby of photography, then he'd make me his model. :D haha. I'd love it. :D
