More curiosity, we seem to have a lot of it lately.

We've found that we, especially Seb, dislike having photographs taken, probably due to the inevitable body dysmorphia. The photo will never record me, only the body.
Does anyone else react this way?

we've read the other comments and we can relate to the body not matching our real bodies, but we do enjoy taking photos of ourselves while certain of us are using it, just for our own personal enjoyment. it's fun. I guess we just don't have a hate relationship with the body. it's here and we use it. we don't really think that much of it, I suppose. shrug. LeAnne and few others love to take self portraits of us using the body as a hobby. we have some pics of us in a public gallery off this ljs profile. it doesn't bother us really. shrug. maybe we're freaks in the minority again.

Not freaks. I get like that. I have a lot of pictures I've taken of me in the body. I think maybe part of that is that I take a picture of me and I expect to see me and I do sort of see me. Plus I like showing off whatever new thing it is I am trying to photograph. I'm sure I'd have even more if we photographed better.

It's a love/hate relationship :P I hate that I get the photos and they're of a body that isn't me, but I love taking photos especially if I can see clearly that it is me. If I don't think about it too much I quite enjoy it. Makes me the odd one out in this head I think.
