Obligatory Picture Taking
"No thanks."- an unusual refusal to take a picture by someone I know
When I see a couple taking pictures of each other, I love to step in and to offer to take a picture of the couple. I believe it be kind. People these days tend to take their pictures with a cell phone camera. They do not have a tripod type of phone holder so they tend to take turns taking pictures of each other. I sometimes joke that if I do not take a picture they will never know that they were together.
Amazingly, almost 100% of the time when I offer to take a picture the couple pleasantly is surprised and very grateful. They realize that the person is giving them a gift. In is not uncommon that they offer to take your picture in return.
So the other extreme of not wanting to take a picture was a shocker for me the other day. Especially from someone I know. I did not even have an ulterior motive of wanting a picture in return. It made me wonder why anyone would turn down a picture to be taken of them and their wife. I am still scratching my head.
Today's question is:
"Why would you turn down a picture request?"
