I've never been one to care about social media presentation and don't take many photos, but I have a vivid memory of having a photo taken without warning around high school and instinctively duck facing it, which in retrospect was a defense mechanism to purposefully any culpability of not looking good in that particular photo. Very unexpected and unsettling self reflection.
- rootusrootus 5y agoThat an interesting strategy. I usually do the opposite, and instinctively smile when a camera is pointed my way. Better to get as good a look as possible rather than capture my usual relaxed scowl for posterity.
- soylentcola 5y agoI was "lucky" enough to do high school/college just before digital photography became mainstream, so I'm grateful for all the things not documented and published to the world. That said, in way too many of the photos I do have from those days I'm mugging for the camera or flipping the bird or something else ridiculous. In retrospect, I've come to similar conclusions about my likely motivations.
