Playing with Knives is Not a Photo Op!

I’m not a big fan of photography. Let’s just say I’m not very photogenic and don’t have much time to practice my skinny poses. In about 80% of photos taken of me, I bear a strange resemblance to Weird Al Yankovic. Thus, anytime someone pulls out a digital camera, I bolt.

Perhaps Lindsay Lohan and Vanessa Minillo should take a cue from me. While they may be more photo – friendly than I am, posing sexily with weapons ain’t gonna do anything for anyone. Were they planning to frame those pictures and hang them on their walls as cherished memories?

In general, I question the need to document everything with a camera. Come on. Do you really need a picture of all that alcohol you bought? Do you really want your parents finding a picture of you smoking pot or passed out in an alley in a clown costume in your iPhotos?

It may have been funny at the time, but let your memory capture the moment instead of your Nikon.

Plus, cameras make any event feel like it needs to be rehearsed and posed. Taking pictures is awkwardly self – indulgent. Not a social activity. It’s something you do by yourself, with a mirror and your Myspace profile.

Lindz and Vanessa are obviously learning this lesson hard way, with rehab and unemployment and all. It’s a sad story, but so easily preventable! Let’s be honest, no one is that photogenic. So the next time you see someone pointing a camera at you, avoid rehab and keep your job by running for the hills.
