Camera-Shy

I've always hated getting my picture taken, even as a kid. When the school pictures were taken for our yearbook, I decided that sitting on the school lawn with my (then) boyfriend was a better idea. So no high-school pictures to haunt me.

As a young mom, I never let anyone take pictures - till my ever-thoughtful mom told me that I needed to have pictures taken so my kids could remember what I looked like after I died! Now there's a happy thought!

I've even tried convincing people that I followed the beliefs of those tribes who feel every picture taken removes a bit of your soul. No one in my family was buying it...

Now, before you start thinking, "boy, she must be so ugly, that she doesn't want her picture taken" - I have to say that looking back, I don't know why I wouldn't get my pictures taken - I really wasn't all that bad. In fact, I will even break down and post a picture to prove it.
Yes, I am a natural red-head!

When I tried to convince my new husband that we could save a lot of money by NOT having a photographer at our wedding, I was told I would look at those pictures for years. Nope, it's not even our first anniversary, and I want to pack them all away! I just have never been comfortable with having my picture taken.

So it should come as no surprise that my internal organs are just as "shy". Today the ultra-sound tech said that not only are my uterus and ovaries hard to get a good picture of because I am so "deep", but they are truly "unphotogenic"! She said some people's insides are a snap to get a good picture, but mine make you work for it!
