Men and Photography

A while back a male friend of mine started sending my photographs of himself daily. It was his way of updating me on the highlights of his day. I mentioned this to a female friend and she said, "Oh! He must really like you!" I said, "I don't think so. I know something about men and I know something about photography. If a man is interested he would want photographs of you. If a man wanted you to like him he would send you photographs of himself." My female friend begged to differ. Eventually my male friend stopped sending me photographs of himself and shortly after that I met a man who was crazy about me. "Send me a picture of yourself! Please!" He asked. When I asked him what he wanted for Christmas he said, "A photograph of you, please!" For his birthday he wanted a photograph of me. And for Valentine's day. He helped prove my theory right.

Watching Out

I think I figured out one of the reasons why the photographless photographer doesn't take pictures anymore. After I got robbed at gunpoint in 2009 I stopped looking for things to take pictures of and started looking out for for danger. Maybe I should start photographing danger.
