I was putzing around with Facebook this morning because unlike many of my contacts on there, I really had no photos uploaded. Anyway, here I am, looking through the nearly 1500 photos in my iPhoto library, looking for pictures of me to upload.
You know what I found?
There are less than 20 pictures out of 1500 that I’m in.
I recognize all of the events that are captured, so why am I not included? Oh yeah, I’m the man behind the lense. I’m somehow the family’s designated photographer. It’s OK though, I actually enjoy taking pictures. I’m not quite serious enough to call myself a hobbyist photographer, but I understand the basics of lighting, exposures and shutter speeds – but not enough to want to monkey with any of them manually. I find it more fun to capture interesting lighting and I enjoy framing the shot just so.
But, the side effect of all of this is that I have almost no pictures of me (and about 5-6 of those shots are self-portraits……::sigh::).
