<div>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!!

<br>has been changing. No, I still am not fond of 'posed' pictures but candid or crowd<br>scenes are fine. The reason for the change? Well, my Mom was like that and I find<br>my mental pictures of her blurring as are other friends and family.
<br>I only met Master Blackfox a few times, I find myself wishing to see a picture of<br>him to see if I'm *remembering* him right. I'd love to see a picture of Kendra<br>Kenmare and others I've just *heard* about. Some day others will want to see what
<br>we all *looked* like and how we did things...will there be any pictures to show<br>them? May, just maybe, we should just pretend the cameras aren't there and keep<br>doing what comes "naturally'.<br>Just musing...Aoife
