I have a question: who likes, actually likes, having a photo taken? Raise your hands. I suspect the younger you are the more likely you are to be holding your hand up now.

And if your hand is happily raised, what about having your picture taken fills you? What about it makes you happy to have someone (or yourself) snapping away?

I have never liked my photo taken. I don’t feel ugly, really, just not enough, though I don’t know what “enough” is. Prettier? Thinner? More perfect? Younger? I don’t know. I only know I don’t like it. A little time does my picture ever deign to maybe, perhaps, perchance seem acceptable.

Is this true with anybody else, or is it just me?
