I struggle enough to get my entire self in the phone as I hold it backwards trying to picture myself.


I can take a hundred photos, yet I look constipated or douchey in all of them because I'm always too focused on trying to just get a photograph that's legible.



I never saw myself smile before, but once I did, oohhhh dear now I know why I've been having trouble finding a girl after my break-up years ago. I guess it's because I never smiled all that much before as a kid.

You could start by not being in it! rofl rofl

Ok, that was unnecessarily rude, so I'm really hoping you have a sense of humor. Do you have a hockey team? Does that team have a mascot? That will help. winking :thumbsup:

I don't have any hockey team or mascot. The closest I have is a scout troop and a classroom of kids I'm volunteering with.


Obviously I'm not going to ever include them in the picture.

you might be trying to hard, get a friend to take few candid shots when you're not paying so much attention to the lens....

Have someone shoot me while I'm unaware?

Well, can't go worse than what I currently have.

Haha one of the few things I've read on hear that's made me laugh. I'm having similar problems with my photos. I've never taken selfies before and I think they all make me look worse than real life - or is that just my rose tinted specs and lack of mirrors?
