I do not look good in photos ....we have one friend that is constantly taking

photos and I hate it .....and after the last bunch of copies he gave me I

will now refuse to have my picture taken ...

I knew I was going to age ..and I am glad to be here ......I just wish my granddaughter could have

known me when I didn't look quite so old ... but bless her heart when

I said this to her.. she replied " Oh don';t worry grand ma ....I've seen your

wedding photos ....Bless her heart .....

I take horrible photos and don't like having my picture taken.  I think I look awful.

I figure you look like what you look like.

How others view you is from their perspective.

What I feel I like look is from my perspective.

SO, I look like I look depending on who is doing the looking.

As for photos, well let me just say lighting, phones, camera, et cetera all have an effect of what I look like.

So I am not responsible and regardless, it ain't my fault!

@tsavorite -

That is funny.

Now I can tell when people are doing that camera pose thing. 

My daughter tried to teach it to me. Even though it is 3 things, I couldn't remember or get it right.I actually wrote it down but that didn't help much either.

Something like, head forward and a little down and to the side,(so you don't have a double chin or something) and look up?

Anyway I always looked like I was 

having some kind of medical problem when i tried it.

You can tell-people tilt their head  unnaturally to the side with a ridiculously huge smile, mouth kind of open-and I think who laughs like that? and eyes sort of up?

Oh, its exhausting!

Sure hope I look better, but probably not.

The camera is a true reflection and doesn't have the ability to lie.

I never liked what I looked like in the mirror or in pictures. I still don't.  Now I look back on old pictures and think I actually was kinda cute and didn't look as bad as I thought.

I think women are overly critical of themselves in general.We do this to ourselves. IMO. Sometimes we have to just chill.

I had a guy at Disney tell me how fat and  ugly I was.. nice huh?

I've noticed that the few times I've seen a celebrity, they always look better in person than in photos. Younger, too.
