Are you a picture taker? email this discussion to a friend?

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.

To answer your question, yes. I'm a picture taker! happy I take pictures about almost anything. Be in my pets, relatives, plants, automobiles, computers and etcetera! I also love taking pictures of myself for future purposes. Some are just for fun, really. But the photos I always take a shot of? My family. I always make sure to take a shot of every rare and unexpected memory or event that will happen. Be it just me and my sisters goofing around or eating. I live by the saying, "A picture paints a thousand words".

I also take video shots of me and my family for future purposes. So that when we watch it in the future, we'll just laugh and reminisce our childhood memories. I also have those, "I wish I have my camera with me right now" moments. It's just so frustrating for you to not have your camera in times of special moments.

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!!


myLot reputation of 96/100. katsmeow1213 (4858)   ranked 605 out of 707 in digital camera  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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I don't really take all that many pictures. I used to take pictures more often than I do now. I just like taking pictures so I don't have to be in them. blushwhistle


myLot reputation of 96/100. katsmeow1213 (4858)   ranked 605 out of 707 in digital camera  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.


myLot reputation of 94/100. beachstarz (894)  7 months ago

Yes I do love taking pictures . I live in Mexico in the Yucatan where there is something new and different around every corner . I love taking pictures of nature here . The sunsets are amazing, the wildlife, and plants and flowers are other favorites. I like to keep my camera close by all the time .

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!


myLot reputation of 96/100. katsmeow1213 (4858)   ranked 605 out of 707 in digital camera  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.


myLot reputation of 99/100. jesssp (1221)   ranked 590 out of 707 in digital camera  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!

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.

Well, I am not a professional photographer but about 12-15 years back photography was one of my hobbies. I used to carry my Yashica camera with me and take pictures of landscapes, people, buildings and what ever I felt like. I even tried to take 3d pictures with my conventional camera and they were great. Now I don't have time for hobbies like before. sad
