[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]However, I will tell you what I have learned, which is that at some point you have to just live your life, which includes getting in the pictures. In 10 years you will feel worse about not being in any pictures than you will about being fat in the pictures. (In fact if you're lucky, you'll look back and laugh at your "fat" period ... if you're unlucky, like me, you'll look back and think "what was I worried about, I looked pretty good!") [/quote]

I don't agree that just living my life includes getting in pictures that I don't want to be in.  I'm not overweight but have a somewhat unusual looking face due to a cleft palate repair.  I honestly don't think about how my face looks all that much unless I see a picture of myself -  I don't want to be in pictures, it makes me feel much, much worse than I otherwise would.  [/quote]

I hope that you will consider how much your nearest and dearest love you and want a picture of you.  I hear that you may not like your face, but again those closest to you see you, not just a bunch of features,

Think about how many photos you have of your mother from when you were a child. Two dozen or so, mostly semi-faded 70s/80s prints?

Here we are in the digital age, where we have the access to (and do) create two dozen or so images a WEEK. My kids will have "enough" images of me, but that doesn't mean I have to document each and every second and scenario. I'm more into making actual memories than PICTURE OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

Pictures are not for now. They are for later.  Plus, there is no reason to believe the poster is in 2 dozen or so images a WEEK -or frankly 2 dozens pictures a year. Since it does not seem obvious, let me spell this out -there is a huge difference between tons of pictures and no pictures. Some people really want absolutely no pictures. [/quote]
