hi mylotters! I was at the mall yesterday and I saw this teenage girl, about 14 or 15 years old I think. Standing beside the pet store and keeps on taking pictures of herself using her camera phone. I also do take pictures of myself , but usually I do it inside my room or at home, but not in public.. I'm sort of shy LOL! Anyway, it's nice to see those old pictures of yourself How bout you? Do you usually take pictures of yourself?

To be honesty,I have hardly taken pictures of myself for a very long time.A ordinary boy,not a girl,should not care his look too much,or he will be treated as a self-love guy.

Everytime I'm going out with my husband or my friends and we are going to parks or places which are famous then that's the time that I do usually ask my husband to take pictures of me. I don't usually take picture of me by myself because my camera phone is 2mp only and I don't think that the result would be good when using that. But certainly I love pictures and I do usually have them posted on my facebook accounts.

i sometimes take picture of myself especially at the mall christmas trees and malls's decorations as i am own my own. how else. take photos yourself or you have to approach someone which may not be safe. a friend of mine did it on his travel and the guy went off in a hurry with his camera. what frustration. so the option as it suits you take all the photos you want with your camera phone, no need to ask for help. its popular here to see youngster taking photos of themselves at chinese new year tree decoration, deepavali kolam decor, the muslim festivals of ketupats and the other attractions. i guess its fun too, chiepao.

hey grace! I feel sorry for your friend. What kind of people are those, you just want to have a quick photo for you to remember that you've been there and the guy just took off. Here also there are a lot of youngsters who take pictures using their camera phone. Especially at the mall!

hie chiepao, thanks so much for appreciating my response. i was at the mall and its going to be easter time. many activities and games are lined up for the young and old at the malls. these are strategies that the malls drawn up to attract shoppers.i was one of them. many were seen taking photos with cameras and camera phones. there is definitely money earned by the phone companies.

Hello chiepao, good day. I dont do that even before when I was in my teenage days. I am not that good looking, and I could not find the good angel of myself. So I just give up and dont take pictures that much.

hey ada! Don't say is, you sound like you're depriving yourself. It's not on how good looking you are, you should be proud of yourself. I'm not that good looking as well. It's your pictures! Don't mind what others says.

LoL.. you're just like my younger brother. Everytime we call for a family picture, he's always the last one to come to the group with a frown face. He doesn't like pictures as well. xD

I used to take pictures of myself but now I got tired already.. my social networking accounts were full of my pics but my boyfriend told me to remove some of them and asked me not to post daring pictures, I respect his comment so I did follow what he said.

i take very less photos of mine because i don't like to take your own image and i don't think so taking so much images is a funny thing.

I have no idea what sense of comfort or gratification people get from taking pictures of themselves in every place they stand, sit or eat. I know of an old school friend who posts everything and anything that she has taken a photo of, including the food that she is about to eat, her dog..and so on. I do take pictures of myself using my camera phone but only when there are occasions or I am out of town and want to capture that moment. And that moment is not like, every five minutes of my life.

I've also seen these young girls having photosessions in public. They do a lot of pictures and then select best ones to be post on social networks. Sometimes it looks a little bit silly, because they try to look very good and pose as well as they can. I don't have that habit, my friends are usually the ones that catch me on the photo.

oh i like to take pictures, but not of myself. i don't think i am photogenic. i am the one who normally is behind the camera, looking into the viewfinder. i love to take spontaneous pics of people and make them look good. and besides.. when taking pictures of ourselves, try not to do it too much. there is a term for it and it does not sound good. :P

i think that is pretty common with myspace and facebook and similar sites where people just post a million pictures of themselves. these days i only take a pic of myself if i see something really cool that i want to be seen with, because nobody looks at pictures that dont involve people. i mean who cares about a waterfall on its own? but to be seen with the waterfall, that is more impressive for some reason

i dont mind to take picture at public area. But i never tried to take a photo of myself.Because i dont feel like to take photo's of myself. One of my friends is very much interest to take a photo of herself. But she will take the photo at her room or in her house.
