I took My Youngest 2 to the Beach today, An Elderly Lady and Man started to chat to Us whilst I was taking Photos (nothing new there!) The Man said "I bet You are behind the Camera more than in front of it as You Mums always miss out" I said "You are right there but I dont like My Photo being taken" He then said "Would You like Me to take a Photo of You with Your Children" so I said Ok because I'd feel rude if I said No, He then took a Photo, He made Me laugh as He said "I must be old as I cant work this Camera out wheres the hole to look through?" My Olympus doesnt have a view finder LOL. I was going to delete the Photo but then I thought I'd keep it and add it to My Facebook Album as Im always getting Photos of the Children and Hubby with them never Me, I just hate Myself in Photos. I thought it was quite sweet of the Man really Bless Him x
i hate people taking pictures of me too!!!! they never seem to come out right - suppose i have a phobia against people taking my photo!!!! i will check out your album on facebook tomo!!!! up early in morning!!!! glad you enjoyed your day at the beach
I also never am in any photos because I am always behind the camera. I talked my sisters into doing this project with me, and one of them surprised me yesterday with me and my son as her photo for Mother's Day. Such a great surprise.
I always offer when I see people taking pictures of each other. My mom and I took my dad to Epcot Center for his 75th birthday and he was the one taking all the pictures. A man saw my dad and me switch places and offered to take a photo of the three of us. I thought that was so nice of him!
What a great story of the gentleman at the beach!
