Are you a picture taker?  |
|
Some people see their entire lives behind the lens of a camera, snapping pictures of everything to preserve those memories.
Others had rather live in the moment, and rarely, if ever, take pictures of special events.
I have a friend who is one of the first people. I'm always amazed to see some of her pictures. I swear her camera must be glued to her hand because she never misses a moment!
I think I'm more towards the middle. I do take loads and loads of pictures of my kids, but sometimes I find myself somewhere nice and say "Darn, I wish I had my camera with me right now". I've certainly missed some nice photo opps.

2. gemini_rose (10117) | 7 months ago | I tend to go through stages, one time I am found everywhere with my camera in my hand and then it will be months before I am seen with it again! My hubby commented on it the other day in fact cos he said its been ages since you took any photos. I guess I have been too busy on facebook with farmtown and myzoo hehe. There are just not enough hours in the day really!!

katsmeow1213 (4858) | 7 months ago | I can go through phases like that too. It wasn't until last week when we were having a picnic at the park when I realized I wished I'd had my camera, so at that point I placed it in my purse so I'd be sure not to forget it next time.
I'm better with my digital camera. Before I had that I would really go ages without taking a picture. When my 4th was born I took a bunch of pics at birth, but then none until he was around 6 months old. I missed months and months of his life, poor thing.

3. derlilaStern (1294) | 7 months ago | I am very much the same as you! Somewhere in the middle.
When I was younger I very rarely took pictures. I just wasnt very good at it. I hated spending all of the money to get the film developed just to find out the pictures didnt turn out well!
Once I got a digital camera, I began to take more pictures. I didnt have to worry about how the pictures turned out, because I could always take more! That was great for me. My photography has really improved.
A little over a year ago, my husband and I got a really nice camera. Now I often find myself wishing I had it with me! There are so many things I would like to take more pictures of but dont always have the camera.

katsmeow1213 (4858) | 7 months ago | I was like that too before my digital camera. I would always buy cheap disposable cameras which would often ruin my pictures. Especially if my hubby was taking the pic, he always managed to get his fingers in front of the lens. Then he finally bought me a digital, and I'm loving it. The first few months I would take pics of grass just because I loved using it so much.

4. ersmommy1 (10339) | 7 months ago | When it comes to my kids, both hubby and I are constantly taking pictures. For myself, I would rather have a photo to help me remember a day. Living in the moment is fine. But that certain pic will bring more of the moment back for me. Just my opinion. That is why I love that my cell has a camera. I never seem to remember my digital camera.

5. ravinskye (6062) | 7 months ago | I think I'm a little bit of both. I tend to forget my camera a lot though. But I have a lot of pictures of my kids too. I keep saying I want to take more so that I'll have them to look back on. I usually have it for the important stuff though so I guess that is all that matters.

katsmeow1213 (4858) | 7 months ago | I'm the same way, only I do get to a point where I begin complaining that I don't have enough pictures of myself.

8. jesssp (1221) | 7 months ago | I really try to be a picture taker but it doesn't always seem worth it. I do try to take the camera with us as much as possible though. I will admit that I'm not a good photographer, so none of my pictures really translate the way I want them to. They rarely seem to capture the moment as I saw it. I like to take before and after pictures of projects and renovations but they never look quite as satisfying as they should. It's also a major pain to have a camera in your hand during all your activities!

katsmeow1213 (4858) | 7 months ago | I don't consider myself a photographer by any means, but I certainly enjoy reminiscing (sp?) about things years after they've been over. You mught change your mind about these things when you have a child. It doesn't matter if it's a bad angle or if the background isn't just perfect, all that matters is that years from then you can look at that picture and remember how cute the baby was during that time, and might even remember bits and pieces about what was going on when you took that pic. Those are the things that matter to me.

jesssp (1221) | 7 months ago | I'm sure you're right. I was actually thinking of that when I read the discussion but it never made it into my reply. My nephew is only 10 months old and has probably had a million pictures taken of him - and not one of them is bad!

9. teetee195 (1074) | 7 months ago | I love to take pictures and everytime we move my husband remarks about how many pictures I have and why do I have to keep them all, they mean something to me they are reminders of the memories gone by.
I usually bring my camera to special events just so I have something to remember the event by. My camera is bulky so it's hard to carry around all the time, I do have a smaller camera that I can carry but I like the quality of the pictures on the larger one.
