No Photos Please

I hate getting my picture taken.  Am I the only one?  I mean, I don’t just hate it a little bit.  I avoid it like the plague.  If you were to look through our “family” photos you’d probably think that my wife is a single mother.

Last week, I spent a couple of hours one day getting my picture taken for an article in the Gwinnett Magazine.  The magazine is great.  The photographer was great.  I’m so appreciative for the opportunity to have an article about the church in the magazine but I sure hate having my picture taken.

Besides, when you have a mug like mine, I’m not sure a picture helps the cause of getting folks to visit the church!    I think that the next time a photo of me is needed I’m just going to hire a stunt double or something.

  1. I know EXACTLY how you feel. Most of our pictures, you find me turned the other way or with something “Accidentally” covering my face.
    What should worry you is this – do you know how many people at Mill Creek/Fusion have asked me if we (you and I) are related over the last 2 years????
    If we look enough alike for people to think that, then I don’t blame you for not wanting it documented in pictures!!!!

  3. That, my friend, is exactly why I became a photographer. I’ve discovered if you’re holding the camera, very rarely is it pointed at you.
