Last night my family was responsible for sending pictures to my aunt in order for her to create a Photo thing for a Christmas present for someone. All of the digital cameras and coputers with pictures were brought out and we then sat and looked through all the pictures in order to find some "good ones". Well what constitutes a good one? I guess it depends on who you ask. A professional will probably say something about color contrasts and lighting ab all the technical stuff. A mom will say something along the lines of 'if it shows off the smiling faces of my darling children. and a teenager wiil say "anything that's not of me".
Well I'm not a normal teenager- maybe its just the pre-18 yearold syndrom taking over- so i don't mind pictures of myself...at least most of them. But looking through pictures last night taught me some interesting things about myself such as:
-I need to wash my hair EVERYDAY, no matter how clean it 'feels'
- My face has more muscles and forms than I ever thought possible
- I stalk boys a LOT (he's the one with the baseball cap :})
-I think I leave all sense of self preservation at the door when I go to a sleepover
-Short hair was not my thing...
- My eyes are my best feature
-The day I discovered face wash was a glorious day indeed.
-same with the day my braces came off
-tennis shoes don't goe with dresses ever...ever ever...
And one last thing I've realized is that
my friends must be good ones because they loved me even with some of the aweful things (i.e. fads, haircuts, bad acne) I only have proof of because of pictures...AND they did most of those things right along with me!
You know a while back I would have wanted to have a bonfire and burn the evidence... and now? I like to look at the pictures and then look in the mirror and smile at the fact that the "beautiful girl" all my parents and grandparents swore was in there, is finally coming out. :)
