Don't put the person's phone in your mouth.

How is it different from the thousands of other things you touch throughout the day?

What if their phone looks really tasty?

Nope, but I'm also not afraid to say no to people if I don't want to.

Honestly, don’t love it. But I’ll do it and try to be nice.

I only mind because I am not good at it. I pass the phone to one of my teens to do it as they are MUCH better photographers.

No

One of my best memories is when we were at the lighthouse with our Great Pyrenees and ran into a bunch of young Japanese tourists. They all took turns getting their pictures taken while hugging our dog. I like to think that she's Big In Japan!

You paranoid people are missing out on a whole lot of fun.

I just fell on my knees and thanked Dog that I do not live in your awful paranoid world.

What a miserable existence.

I like to do it but it does make me a little nervous. Also I grew up with film cameras so I tend to just take a couple whereas I noticed some people who do it for us will take a dozen

I'm happy to do it. I like to imagine that my work is on display in households across the world!

No, but I'm not the best photo taker, so I always feel little nervous.

I offer to do it all the time and love it when people reciprocate. Never occurred to me to be concerned about germs, and the places I go aren't teeming with pickpockets.

Do you change settings? Or is it more about composition?

Just framing and positioning myself for the best light
