[Northkeep] Ya wanna be in pictures, kid?

[Gisela]

My sentiments, exactly! I also hate "posed" pictures, and get rather annoyed
with people when they see the camera and literally STOP what they're doing
so I can take their picture... well, in most cases, I liked what I saw at
the time, and wanted a picture of THAT, not them standing, staring at the
camera with a forced smile and rarely a pleased look in their eyes. I
personally, don't like my picture taken because I don't feel I look good in
photos... so that is my main reason for ducking from people when I see a
camera. What I have to try really hard to remind myself is, how I look in
photos is exactly how others see me in real life, so to everyone else, those
pictures don't look so horrible (except that they are of me to begin with)
therefor I should just suck it up and let it happen. But I always seem to
have my mouth open or my eyes half closed, so in that respect, I prefer
knowing I am about to have my picture taken so I know not to do anything
silly like blink... or breathe!!

Unfortunately, I took my camera to Castellan and left it in the bus the
whole weekend!!! ARGH!
