Have you ever taken a picture of a friend taking a picture of you? Then you look at your friends pictures and see that you are making the weirdest face as you look through your camera?
I have. I blame the face on...err...better photographer-ness (like Michael Jordan and the sticking out the tongue thing) ;). Really though, I've got no clue why I do it. But now that I'm conscience of it; I wonder why the weird face?
"To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy."
~ Henri Cartier-Bresson
I think its due to constipation... er no, concentration! That's it! I think we are totally un-self-aware when taking a photo - and our faces mirror what you see in kids, when they are looking at something, or playing. At least we don't go as far as eating the lens, just to see if it tastes good!
