Photography-----101.Or just be nice.

I am someone, who, unless camera-ready, will hide out when a photog-professional or amateur....tries to zoom in and take a photograph.
Can't do this when you aren't aware of this occurring.....kinda sneaky....I even admonish relatives with, "Zoom out, darn it".
Bless Kodak and the list goes on......anyone with a few bucks is now a professional photographer.
What we cannot do---is recall that moment when we are not ready and the zoom lens has gotten us.
I attended with pleasure, my lovely Daughter's wedding recently and knew this was going to be an issue.
I was not quite prepared for some of the God-awful photos taken of me, or others? I mean, there is a lovely Aunt of the groom-the lady is quite pretty in person---and there are photos of her dancing---that look distorted?????? Strange.
And, of course, they are center stage on Facebook, Great!
I used to be so photogenic. Haha.
50 Pounds lighter ago. Sure.
It does inspire one to take matters in their own hands and have a professional take a picture and post it on Facebook-etc.
So, I was sitting there feeling really silly, looking at the horridly awful ( in one I had my mouth hanging open-looked drunk----I mean I should have at least been drunk-if I'm gonna look it, dammit) photos----and then:
 My WONDERFUL Fiance' loaded his photos of the wedding and voila!.
Guess what photo resides on my wall page?????on Facebook.
Oh, I love that man of mine. Brilliant with a camera. Smiles. He is really good at it.
We will be going for a family holiday photo and I will be posting the results.....after I have lost 50 pounds. ( the camera adds 15?) lololololol.
Look for it. Serious.
In the meantime---if you zoom-edit........please.
