I didn't like school pictures because I just stood in line for an hour to kneel in front of a plastic log and tilt my head at an uncomfortable angle and force a smirk as they flashed bright light at me. These days, considering I don't have any of that to go through anymore, I'm pretty much just indifferent to having my picture taken. I also hardly care at all if I look good, so it doesn't really matter that much to me if someone takes a picture of me.
Sometimes I like to pretend it's a candid picture in case I start a band and need an image for the cd case or something. I also personally feel it's more of an authentic moment in time if people aren't looking directly at the camera and saying cheese. I mean, like, unless I'm ordering a burger and they're asking if I'm going to add cheese. Then it actually makes sense. If you go to the Grand Canyon or something, does your group huddle together and smile at you the entire time?
heh, i always feel that way. i like it better when pictures are taken of people doing normal things, not people gathering around and giving a fake smile.
That's actually pretty good. God knows I hear it enough.

I'm exactly the same. A smile for a picture is rarely a genuine ne, which always comes across as awkward in the picture for me. If I'm pratting around, and everybody is having a giggle, then you're much more likely to produce a better picture,as the smile is genuine.

Thanks. Grandstand went off-air in 2007, though. Not that I miss the programme much, but the theme music is amazing.

It's not really a bowl cut, more a bowl lack-of-cut. But yes, I revert to my mid-90s indie kid look when I fail to visit the barber for sufficiently long.

You guys really know how to take the words right out of my mouth. Lol
