Photographs.. (16)
jees, you only skin and bone.....
i think most people like to make a good first impression hence a nice photo, however I have noticed that many pics are like a yar or possibly 2 years old.....
one friend of mine on the book of faces has a pic that was taken in 2008 of his face and when i asked why he doesnt have a more recent pic he said it was because he had put on so much weight and didnt want anyone to see that, which is strange, as it shouldnt really matter....
sometimes i think people dont actually look like their pic....

Hiya N...I am trying to put on a wee bit of weight...bit of a sensitive issue for me lol
I am actually just talking about photos in general that you would have in your family album. I know everyone likes to create a good first impression, I totally understand that. I am just talking about looking at a pic of family and friends and laughing out loud or being sad or whatever. I just love when a photograph captures memories
saoirse65: Not talking about profile pics now...
Think I have a bit of a photo obsession...
I love photographs...
Personally I prefer photos that show a persons personality rather than posed photos. I prefer a pic of someone laughing and having a good time rather than one where they are looking perfect with hair and make up just right...
I love photos that just capture the moment...to me photos are memories and I just love to look at a picture and remember when it was taken rather than just...oh yeah she looks great in that pic...
I often see...on social networking sites...that people only have photos up where they look good... I prefer to see photos where people are being themselves..not that you cant look good and be yourself (well actually..I cant..note to self..hire a hair and make up person lol).
Just curious to know what people think...should photos show people looking their absolute best or show them in real life situations?

I love photos could spend hours looking at them and reliving the memories lol. As for present your self it should show you at your best confidence is important wont feel very confident putting my worst photo forward lol
Have to say saoirse you look awfully skinny in your current profile pic
darren9030: Have to say saoirse you look awfully skinny in your current profile pic
Well I was trying to put my best rib forward

I agree but I am talking about just fun family photos...not about looking confident or photos that are up for criticism as our profile pics are..
I suppose in my thread I should have said which type photos do people prefer as opposed to what should a photo say
I have photos of family members and friends...some of whom I have lost and even if I am kinda sad looking at the photo sometimes...I also crack up laughing at some of them..cos I look at the pic and say...Jeez...she had that face on her cos I was just after slagging her about her shoes...that kinda thing is what I am talking about. I also have the nice family/friends photos where we are all dressed up and looking our best at a wedding or something but the other non posed ones bring back funnier memories sometimes...that's all that I am saying... I like to have those in my album cos they really show the people and the craic at the time...The ones I have where we all look great are still nice to have but just a wee bit more boring...if that makes any sense
I think a photo is important because it gives you " Some " idea who you are chatting with.

Sorry, I realize now that my thread is obviously very unclear
I am just basically talking about the photos on your mantlepiece or in your album...nothing to do with profile pics or people making an impression..silly thread I suppose...I just look at photos around me and laugh or cry sometimes both at the same photo lol. Just looking at my own mantlepiece...the oldest photo was taken in February 1954..(No I am not in it lol) The most recent one was taken last week... I am really just talking about photos and memories...not about photos that we look good in and put out there...but ya know the photos of you with a pint on your head or something
i think id rather have someone telling me how to stand and where to look because i cant take a good photo

Hi
Yes I know what you mean.
The best pics of my wedding where the ones my brother in law took on the day and gave to us in a album, not one of them posed, he just went around for the day snapping people as they enjoyed themselves.

I took photos of my friends wedding years ago...all informal ones and especially the next day ones...I made it into a proper album and she said that everyone loved it..even moreso than the real wedding album..she said every one of her friends went through it and had a real laugh...and had to have copies lol

For me it gives me a boost to see a good photo of myself be it in a group photo or just myself regardless of whether I'm in a suit or my working jeans and T shirt and yeah I also love looking over old photos of family , the most recent being my 40th .

we had lab at college. print our own picture in the dark.
