Photographs why do people want them?

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.

  • I have always avoided having my photograph taken if possible. I have a few photographs of people, mostly those that have been sent to me following special occasions.

    I prefer to photograph animals, places and things. I have loads of photographs of my dog but I take shots mainly of archaeological material culture such as ancient figurines. It helps me to compare and contrast similar items from around the world and to investigate how the items may have been used. I like establishing patterns in the material culture record.
