Selfie
I’m not a big fan of having my picture taken and even less a fan of taking a snapshot of myself. Somehow, the lighting is never good enough. But I admire selfies, they often entertain me, especially when people allow for a truly candid moment. How about you?

I very much dislike having my picture taken. However, if I am in the photo with one or more of my dogs I don’t mind as much. Maybe because when I look at the photo I focus on them, or maybe being with them makes me more relaxed and happier when the picture is taken.
I do take a lot of selfies of my knitting projects for ravelry (knitting site) but never include my face. Many others use that same neck-down strategy so I guess many of us are not fans of self portraits.
I completely agree that my favorite photos are with my dog.
