I've always liked to take photographs...as in take photographs of other people/things. Never of myself. Atleast none that I'd like to share - self indulgence.
As a child I loved being photographed - I was just not aware of my own image so I didn't care. Photographs seemed fun and I enjoyed posing for them.
I'm more conscious of what I look like now. And that people generally size you up based on that. So in my mind if I don't take the picture I can't be judged. It's fine if you are jlooking at me in real form - you'll forget that image of me. But if my bad hair day is captured for even future generations to see...that's just frightening.
