    I know a lot of people who absolutely hate to take pictures and won't take any. I don't hate taking pictures but I do hate if the person taking it has caught me off guard and look crazy or something. Do you like taking pictures or do you avoid them?

    I actually like to take pictures, but not of myself but of my pet cat. I really don't like my pics to be taken off guard too, it sort of steals my "privacy" in a way.

    I love taking pictures of myself, friends and family members. I even take more when I go to a new place that I have never Been to before. Pictures help keep alive memories of cherished events, places and people.

    I don't like taking pictures. I don't know how to smile so I look weird whenever I get my picture taken. Since they all look bad might as well not take any at all. I do like however take pictures of beautiful places and landscapes.

    I like taking them and I don't mind them taken of me. I like shots of me when I don't know its being done. Some of my best shots are like that.

    I hate having pictures of me taken. They usually come out awful or catch me in some really odd expression.

    I get really disoriented seeing pictures of myself or hearing recordings of my voice. It's like some stranger is mocking me or something. I think it had to do when I was growing up, my older brother and I looked a lot alike when we were at the same age and to make matters worse I wore a lot of his hand me downs when I was growing up - so my folks often can't tell us apart in our family photo albums. On top of that, there was a classmate in gradeschool that looked just like me as well, which used to creep both of us out.

    That would be odd. Did it cause you to want to change your looks?


    I was told I looked like three different celebrities and two local guys. Didn't bother me as long as I didn't get jumped for something someone else did.

    It got me some free fries once so that wasn't bad.

    I personally love taking pictures. All sorts of pictures. And I love cameras. I'm in school for filmmaking at the moment, so I have a lot of time with cameras. I also love taking motion pictures. It really is a fascinating and precise art.

    I like taking pictures. I am not photogenic but i'll still try to make great poses. I have tons of pictures of my family and I and we still continue to take more, although we are out of places to store them.

    I love taking pictures, but up until now I didn't have a phone with a decent camera and I just never found it to be very convenient to carry a camera around. Having a phone with a camera is way more convenient, and it doesn't make you look like a tourist in your own city, lol. I always felt so awkward taking my camera out in public in the last years.

    I've got a crappy camera on my phone so I have to use my digital camera when I want to take photos. Generally unless I'm going somewhere special I never bring it with me, but when I go on trips I do enjoy taking pictures. They are a great way for me to remember times when I've had fun.

    I used to not be interested in taking pictures, but I'd like to start taking pictures of the nice/unique cars that I see in my area. There are a lot of supercars, hilarious ricers, and other cool cars in the Tampa area, so perhaps I'll start an album.

    Step 1: Buy a decent camera.

    I've started taking pictures of some of the cars I come across too. I don't have anything fancy, I just use the camera in my iPhone. It's quite fascinating to see what people do to their cars sometimes.
