myLot reputation of 89/100. Margajoe (2134)   ranked 10 out of 3,179 in me7 months ago

When you get your picture taken, are you happy with the results?
Does it really look like you?
The you you recognize in the mirror?

When I look in the mirror, I think I don't look to bad for my age.
But, when I get my picture taken!!!!thumbdown
I had 10 pictures made of me. Only one seems good enough to put on MyLot.
Even this picture does not seem like me as I see me. [em]woot[/em]
Anyway it is the real me, no make overs. lol

What about you? Do you like the results you get from your pictures of you?

Just be your self and believe in yourself. pictures are reflection of your inner-self. If you are happy and feel good your picture will be good but if you always try to look good and never satisfied with your self then no matter what you do, your picture will always be disappointed. just remember smile!
It increases your face value.

myLot reputation of 89/100. Margajoe (2134)   ranked 10 out of 3,179 in me  7 months ago

Yes that is nice.
But, even when I am in a good mood, my pictures are normally terrible. lol
Every once in a while there is a picture I can relate too.
Mostly they don't really look like me, like how I see me. hahaha!
But you are right, it is the inner self that should be beautiful. happy


myLot reputation of 51/100. kriazenterprises (117)   ranked 708 out of 3,179 in me  7 months ago

and by the way if all efforts fails and you can't get the right picture then worry no more. just send it to me and i will do the photoshop magic for you. that's why ia ma here for to bring the smile on people's face:)


myLot reputation of 89/100. Margajoe (2134)   ranked 10 out of 3,179 in me  7 months ago

That is nice of you, thank-you.
My BF does that too, but somehow for me he won't do it.
When I asked him yesterday to make some pictures of me, he looked at me funny.
He does not understand why I would put them on the internet.
For my friend, he made really nice pictures. She put them on the internet.
Maybe he is afraid of me meeting other men. w00t
Have a nice day. happy


myLot reputation of 51/100. kriazenterprises (117)   ranked 708 out of 3,179 in me  7 months ago

Personally believe that or not is not as important what kind of heart is important and not pay attention to what other people only look at how to maintain the confidence of their own like that


myLot reputation of 89/100. Margajoe (2134)   ranked 10 out of 3,179 in me  7 months ago

Sure it is not that important.
But, it is a weird thing to think you look different than your picture.
When I look at my picture, I don't see me.
Some pictures are okay. But, normally I cannot relate to them. lol

I never like my pictures, because they show how truly fat I have gotten. I will have to take a closer look at this one of you, though, because it looks very attractive. It is nice to see real faces.I ought to do one of me,but have not decided to yet. That is because they do make me look older and fatter.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Aliceinwebland (5235)   ranked 277 out of 3,179 in me  7 months ago

hiya Gerty

I guess most of us feel like that but I've braved it to put my real pics up, I hope you will too one day as it's nice to put a face to the name. If we can't accept each other for who we are here on the Lot, then what hope is there for the rest of the world blink


myLot reputation of 89/100. Margajoe (2134)   ranked 10 out of 3,179 in me  7 months ago

Me too, I look older and fatter as well.
But I know of a lot of older and big people who look very well in a picture.
Somehow my face just looks so different. lol

Yes Alice, it is nice to accept people the way they are, especially here.
Have a great day all. happy

hiya Margajoe hugs*

I don't think mine do! and like you I usually take a good dozen or so to get the right one lol Easy when they are in digital format. I don't even think I look like me when I look in the mirror, because inside I am still that younger thinner happier smarter woman that I used to be! ROFL It will soon be time to start airbrushing! whistle I need to go check out your new avatar pic now.

Alice happy

Somehow my nose always looks bigger than I remember it. hahaha!
Have a great day Alice. happy

I think the camera is more scared to take my pictures cos I will end up disgusted and frustrated seeing seeing my pics as they look horrible. My snapshots will end up in the bin. sad I am not a photogenic person and that is the reason I do not like my photos taken. But when I was younger, heaven knows how sweet I was. Only with little make-up I can be mistaken for a beauty queen. lol. Now that age has erased every bit of my youth leaving me with sagging and flatten features that is not worthy of a camera pose.ha...ha..ha..


myLot reputation of 89/100. Margajoe (2134)   ranked 10 out of 3,179 in me  7 months ago

[em]woot[/em]
There are people that still have great pictures even though they are older or fatter than before. Even when I was young I was not photogenic.
Every photo of me looks different too. I don't understand it. hahaha!


photobug10 (1)   ranked 2,554 out of 3,179 in me  7 months ago

Do you think that maybe we are all being a little hard on ourselves? We can't look 20 forever. Sometimes I think we expect to see the old us in pictures, you know the one that we thought was full of flaws way back when we truly looked fabulous. Time stops for no one, even celebs don't age well, especially all those relying on plastic surgery to bring back their youth. If you think that the celebs look good, just remember that photoediting fixes everything, so stop comparing yourself to impossible and unattainable standards. Instead... celebrate the good things in life, all your achievements and happy moments are far more important than saggy skin. I look at my kids and think, thank God I'm here and healthy and a little worse for wear, but happy just the same. No place I'd rather be. It's all a state of mind, say it and believe it and the whole world looks different.


myLot reputation of 89/100. Margajoe (2134)   ranked 10 out of 3,179 in me  7 months ago


But, I think the pictures are a fact not a way of thinking.
I am not being hard on myself, it is just the picture. happy

I am not photogenic at all!! In pictures, I make the most weird expressions! A lot of times one of my eyes seem to be larger then the other making my eyes look distorted looking..even though in real life my eyes are the same size!!


myLot reputation of 89/100. Margajoe (2134)   ranked 10 out of 3,179 in me  7 months ago

Is that you in the picture??? Wow!!! You are beautiful.
Especially the one with the doggy. That is so cute.
You look very young. happy

I don't think ive ever met anyone who's happy with there taken pics i for one is not.Just not satisfied there's always something wrong with the pic.That's why they say a pic can be deceiving cause some people don't look at all as there pic.


myLot reputation of 89/100. Margajoe (2134)   ranked 10 out of 3,179 in me  7 months ago

I am glad to hear that people don't always look like there pictures.
I was starting to wonder why I look so different, maybe I was not looking right in the mirror. w00t
I guess it is like a tape recorder. When you hear your voice played back it is not as you imagine your voice will be.
True most people are not satisfied with there picture. happy

I hate pictures of me. I have several but then I look at them and pic them apart....I have one from several yr ago that I LOVE....but still....it doesnt look like me NOW--at least I dont think so.

By the way-great pic of you!!


myLot reputation of 89/100. Margajoe (2134)   ranked 10 out of 3,179 in me  7 months ago

Thank-you. Personally I don't think it really looks like me as I want it too. But it was the best out of the 10 pictures. hahaha!
Funny, when I look at some of my old pictures, they don't look all that bad anymore.
I don't look like them anymore, maybe that is why I think they look okay.
It is like looking at someone else pictures, they always seem to look better.[em]lol[em]
