With so many cell phones on the market today able to take photos (and video), do you ever worry about being “captured” in a not-so-flattering moment? How would you deal with a friend who decided to share such a picture or video with others?
I don't worry about being "captured" in a not-so-flattering moment just because there is more technology out there. If the picture/video was being published or put online for people to look out or if it was associated with me in a place I didn't want it to be then I would probably be uncomfortable. In that case, I would ask for it to be taken down or deleted. However, I have grown up with new digital technology so pictures and internet albums, etc. have been part of my life since middle school. I think I am less sensitive to pictures than others who have grown up with a value for photographs and video. I feel like videos and photos are so common these days that they've almost lost there influence. So many people can have so many pictures that they are a little less valuable than they used to be.

Are you comfortable with how easy or difficult it is to find photos or videos of yourself? I tag the photos I like of myself to make them easier to find, but I'm sure there are bad ones out there that folks haven't had the patience to label.
ReplyDeleteI wish that photos of me were less accessible. I think that people have become "photo happy" and post way too many pictures of people that shouldn't be out there. I enjoy looking through peoples' photos but I also think that at the rate the internet and social networks are growing, we should be cautious about what we are putting out there for people to see.
