Well, thanks to photo shop and other kinds of technologies that we were able to use. I can actually look better in the pictures. but in one of my profile photos, that wasn't actually edited, it is considered my real picture with no sort of changed features, but I do have some make-up on me..It's better to be beautiful in person than just spending time editing the pic.

Hello bing. I am not a photogenic to begin with, but sometimes I find some good photos of mine among many of those taken. I love to take photos for myself and my family and friends. My wife is a photogenic because she looks more beautiful in the photos than in real. So it is with my nephew's girlfriend, who is a photogenic. Have a great day, friend.

Hurray for the photogenics, before everytime I watched a beauty contest I guess Miss Photogenic would automatically be the winner of the title as there were awarded in the past as Miss Photogenic who bagged the beauty contest title, so being photogenic is just being more beautiful in photos but kudos for those who are not photogenic, you can see the natural beauty in real. Thanks William, because of your responses, I was able to revisit my old posts. Blessings, dear friend.

I really don't take good pictures...I always come out funny looking. Maybe it's just me and how I see myself but I've never liked having pics taken of me. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

Oh that's alright twoey, but maybe if you just try and have many pictures taken, you'll find one good and maybe a photogenic. Right it's just how you see yourself perhaps. Thanks for responding, friend. God bless.

On a rare occasion I can be photogenic but my oldest brother and his wife are. They can take some of the most incredible pictures that catches one's eye and want to put it on their walls. I hope they continue to be happy for years to come but time will tell.... BTW, this isn't the same brother that I'm had the fallen out with.

Actually no, he's not the cooler headed one like you think. He can be down right mean and cruel. One time I had called him on the way to the rehab center where mom was and he jumped all over me when all I wanted to do was talk because I was at my wits end and was crying my heart out. He started screaming and yelling at me "If you don't want to do it, DON'T!" over and over again and my husband was driving and I told hubby what he was saying and that that wasn't the case at all and hubby took the phone and tried to talk to him but my brother went off on him too saying "Let the family handle it *****!" And when he said my husbands name he dragged it out and snapped it at the end. So hubby ended the call and then my brother called right back and cussed him out for hanging up the phone and hubby explained that he thought the conversation was over and my brother went off on him again. Finally they hung up. A couple of days later, my brother called to apologize for what he had said and done. He talked to me first then he talked to my hubby and we forgave him and all but the trust is gone. I don't feel comfortable calling him for any reason because the trust I once had, is gone. We're alone, totally and completely alone. I will not call my brothers for ANY reason what so ever because I've tried and I got slammed so never ever again will it happen. No way.

I feel like sometimes I look really nice in a photo and than at other times I feel I do not look good at all. A lot of people feel that I am pretty but I feel that I have a little more chubby to me than I should. I think this is a great discussion and I hope to see more responses to it as well. Take care and happy mylotting to you

yes there are times that we really look good in photos maybe sometimes it depends on the shots taken, but there are others who really look good all the time at pictures. Am sure you're still pretty even though a little chubby. Thanks for the response dear. Have a good day.

There were many times before that I looked terrible both in pictures and in person. Eventually I learned a few strategies on how to pose in pictures to make myself look better at least in photos. But I just know that in real life, I am many times below sea level!

Don't put yourself down, dear. you're too humble to deny beauty ..(lol) We are created equal for sure if they have beauty inside and out we do have as well. Our mothers would fight those who would say we aren't. (hehehe) Thanks for the response.

Oh no, I am not photogenic AT ALL. I look so much better in person than I do in pictures. Not to mention, I don't like to have my picture taken, for the same reason-- I look awful in pictures. I am good looking but not in pictures.
