I'm not as photogenic as I used to be

You guys feel like you go through periods?

Used to be, I didn't worry about how I looked in pictures; and I'm kind of vain. Lately, it hasn't been that way.

A photographer was taking pictures of league players yesterday at Amsterdam Billiards; and in one picture I looked like a convict. In the other I looked like a psycho and the final one, I looked like a retard-

Grrr!

 

I feel you

I seem to tense up when the camera is on me

 

HAHAHAHA A retarded convict psychopath? No wonder you live in New York.

 

You take pictures pretty well-

You rock star. :biggrin:

 

for every pic of me you have seen, there are 50 that will never be posted online

 

Oh and to answer your question. I don't go through periods...I've always hated having my picture taken because I look strange in pictures.

 

I don't mind having my picture taken if it is candid, but i hate when people stick a camera in my face like i'm supposed to pose or something. I never know what to do so I just end up looking stupid.

 

If I see a camera, I put my hand in front of my face.

 

I have no idea how attractive I might be normally, but I am and always have been decidedly unphotogenic.

 

I look better in pictures than in real life.

 

I always wished I was photogenic, but I hate every picture I see of myself. That is up until a few months ago, I like how I like more with a little more age on my face.

 

im very photogenic, but in RL my nose is quite distracting.

 

shit man, post em up. Lets have a look and judge for ourselves. Odds are you are being too hard on yourself.

 

for me, it usually depends on the angle of my head

 

I'm always told I look brooding in pictures,
not so sure that is a good thing...

 

I'm not too worried about cameras. I dont pose but I dont shrink away either. I guess it's just accurate Dave. As a result though, I have some pretty bad pictures but to be fair, I have some goodies too.

 

yes, I go through phases where I'm anti-pictures. like right now - I have a pimple that is taking over my face. :toetap05:

 

I challenge everybody to post a bad picture of themselves.

 

i did. i look horrible in the disneyland pics.
