Photographs why do people want them?

TheCatWoman

Honestly photographs freak me out, not just ones of me, but ones of others too, I often don't recognise myself or others in photographs and I'm not really into photo's of things either. I know most people are ok with them and make photography a hobby, but even the idea of taking a photograph let alone having one taken of me puts me in a state of near panic and I don't know why? I don't really understand what people get out of photographs.

  • Photos have memories of my childhood and good times. They also have memories of others and events. Looking back on them can be helpful in jogging my memory sometimes and painting a picture of something. Also, I have had photographic projects where I catalogue things and  like my brain liked to do that. I don’t like having personal photos out, but I do have albums. I don’t like too many personal photos being sent to me. I don’t like snap chat to when people send me their photos with it, distorted things.  I don’t really like having my photo taken by others, but I can be captured sometimes and having the photo was helpful.

    I always make time to enjoy where I am, and this pertains to making videos to.

    Has never a photo from your past helped to jog your memory?

    No, I've some that have freaked me out as I'm guessing the person in them is me, but I don't recognise myself. There was one of me when I was about 13-14 and I totally didn't recognise myself, I had to ask my Mum who the girl in the photo was? It looked far more like a uni friend than it did me, which was an impossibility.

    I guess I'm the weirdo then as I seem to be the only photophobe
