I\u2019m the photographer. I\u2019m the one behind the camera, and even if someone else happens to have a camera, or happens to take mine from me (which I allow; more below) I don\u2019t wind up in the shots too often.<\/p>\n<p>As described in yesterday\u2019s NaBloPoMo post, I don\u2019t like being photographed. And while I do like taking pictures of people, it\u2019s not my first go-to, so to speak. Sure, everyone gathers around for the group photo, and thanks to Ellen, the group selfie is hot right now. But if I\u2019m going to take pictures of people, they\u2019re usually candids, and candids of me don\u2019t happen to often.<\/p>\n<p>Now, on the subject of other people using my camera\u2014 I don\u2019t just allow it, but encourage it. I truly believe that taking photos is easy. The camera does all the work, and I know there are photographers gnashing their teeth when I say this, but let\u2019s be honest: once you\u2019ve got the right ISO figured out, auto-shutter speeds and image stabilizing lenses take care of a lot.<\/p>\n<p>Too often I think people shy away from trying things they think are difficult. So when folks see a schlep like me clicking away, and they want to try it to, I\u2019m all for it. And then I stand behind THEM and help them choose the shot.
