What do you mean by "obscured"? Like she's posting pictures of people smiling at the camera, but you were standing behind someone, and in another one you are standing kind of behind a post, etc? Or like you were in the picture but she blurred it? I need more detail about how you were "obscured" in 30 pictures.


I dont get it either.

Obscured means your face was behind a post or the tall guy or someone’s hat. Or you were looking the wrong ways Well then move a bit.

If Op means they fuzzed her face out or out a privacy star over it, that’s a different obscured.

Maybe you don’t know how to pay attention and get into a place for the viewer to see you. That is the whole point.

At any rate, yeah don’t say anything and do your work. Move on.

If she says anything about why you’re not using her photos, just state matter of fact that you wanted to use where your face isn’t covered. You will sound like a lunatic if you accuse her, trying to ensure that you are fully or partially blocked. How many pictures are we talking about here that she took and you are obscured?


This.

Next time get in the middle of the group for photos.

+1. The idea of work event photos is awful. My office did start this collection of photos a year or so ago — oddly, I’m not in any of them even thought I know I was at most of the events.


Oh get over it. What's so awful about it?

Please describe how you were obscured, obscured by what? Are you abnormal height?

“Whatever happens around you, don’t take it personally… Nothing other people do is because of you. It is because of themselves. All people live in their own dream, in their own mind; they are in a completely different world from the one we live in. When we take something personally, we make the assumption that they know what is in our world, and we try to impose our world on their world.”


This is the 2nd Four Agreements quote I’ve seen on this site this week!

I'm sorry we don't see the pictures. It's always best to assume positive or neutral intentions but 30 pictures does seem striking to me. Just keep note of it as a possible weird event.

I would make a mental note and be weary when working with her.

Yes!

I think it's likely coincidental. Move on to more exciting things.

It’s a weird coincidence.

I’m a photographer and know it would take a lot of effort to purposely do that.

Assume the best.
