One of the things I like most about photography is the slight power you have over people when you're behind the lens. Its not a evil thing its a favor, I see things that are beautiful and I ask that person to merely stay still for a moment while I freeze them in time. My favorite thing is to see people getting their picture taken, because they always put on a face they think is best, tongue in between teeth, head cocked to one side, or a bashful grin. Even if I'm not taking the picture I still get the moment, even if I stole it. I hate seeing pictures of myself because I usually don't think about putting my best face on, and I look like a goober even if I usually prefer the candid shots more than posed ones.
well, i think you look lovely... though i agree, i don't like myself in pictures either. but these turned out lovely!
