Re: Holiday pictures ?

I have virtually no photos of myself. I'm another one who only takes pictures of my surroundings. I've also been subjected to other people's photos occasionally and noticed the same thing, Julie. But I'm guessing that those people are less interested in travelling than they are in themselves.

Re: Holiday pictures ?

I usually struggle to find someone to take a pic of me when on holiday, and even then might only get one or two, but at least we try for a nice backdrop.

What's the point of going away if all you snap is yourself?

Re: Holiday pictures ?

Said it before, and I'll say it again, pre digital era, we used to carve our name, or spray it on a wall, to prove we were here at that moment in time, now we take a Selfie, suppose that is less environmentally impacting, and could be argued, longer lasting.

Re: Holiday pictures ?

Just a thought. In my younger days there was a craze of getting autographs from famous people. The modern equivalent is having a selfie taken with said celebrity. I can see that there is much more of a contact in the modern version.

Re: Holiday pictures ?

Have to agree with the boring comments I usually force my self to smile as people obviously want to share and it seems churlish not to look, never take my own pictures in as I can imagine it being as boring for them to see as theirs are to me. Mine are usually full of scenery and dogs

Re: Holiday pictures ?

I hate having my photo taken, so no way am I in any pics I take on holiday.
I find peoples holiday snaps pretty boring too. Having said that if there are animals or birds in them I am very willing to look at them.
