HNT #15: En Repose
These were taken when I was sick of being the subject. Two different cameras. The grainier one shot with the same camera that shot the *last* grainy ones, and that’s the last of the somewhat crappy photos, hurrah!
He thoroughly enjoys these weekends behind the camera lately – my fill reached much sooner than his. Having my photo taken is akin to eye contact. I can’t maintain it for long. I get shy.
So I’m hiding in these. Refusing to play along, refusing to do anything but turn my head and look away.
It reminds me of one of the most popular “if” questions in word games we play, the ones that are totally unrealistic and could never or aren’t likely to happen, but our answers still show a facet of our true nature and personality. If I could have any super power I want, what would it be?
Invisibility.
To walk amongst strangers unseen; no, not for a voyeuristic reason. Well….yes ok I’ll give you that one, I would use it for nefarious reasons as well. Be the naughty fly on the wall. Mostly though, honestly, I would simply prefer to go unseen in the general public.
Ever since my mother handed me her 20 year old Canon SLR, I have been the recorder of memories. I have been the one behind the camera. For years it has been the joke that my future child won’t know what mommy looks like without a big black lens sticking out of her face. But that was before digital and LCD screens, haha. Point being, I’m not accustomed to or always comfortable being in front of a camera that someone else is wielding. In family shots whenever someone else brings out their camera, I hide. To snap photos of myself, in solitude, has been one thing…..I can do that. No idea why.
*hides*

Also, Boobie-thon! Please head on over there in the next few days and donate. If you donate, you get to see bared boobies. I submitted photos to both categories, and I volunteered my time a bit in helping to get the photos web-ready. Anything to benefit breast cancer research is a worthy cause. Heck, any cancer research. But right now, it’s breast cancer.

Excellent boobage Lilly!!

~ Thank you my favorite southern boy ;) ~L
Beautiful, beautiful girl.
I hear you with the being-done-before-he-is picture taking stuff, though I’m getting better about not letting myself be too self conscious. I’ve learned that I can enjoy the photo sessions more if I acknowledge *his* enjoyment and delight in that.
Keep up the good work! Because when you do, we get more boobies. Yay! ;-)
~ Yes, I do get into it once I see the friendly reminder flag poking out, lol. Then the bratty tease comes out to play! ~L
Great pics (and great boobs). I rather know what you mean about always *taking* pictures and never wanting to be *in* the pictures. I became the unofficial family photographer at around 12 when I got my first 35mm camera, and I’ve done my best to stay on that side of the camera ever since.
HHNT.
~ Yeah that’s about when I first started too. Now I just tell my mother to put down her damn camera, I’m taking the photos because at least I don’t focus on the wall instead of the people, lol ~L
The power of invisibility is a great choice (and one that, sometimes, I wish for as well).
Though I daresay, it would be a detriment to the world if we could no longer see you. :)
~ I’d come out of hiding sometimes…it would come in handy especially for entering rooms full of people tho. ~L
I prefer to be the one behind the camera. I’m not so much for being in front of it.
Both pictures are very lovely. You’re such a pretty lady. Happy HNT!
~ Well hon you do a good job of it every week!! :) ~L
I totally understand the wish to be on the back side of the camera. I’ve been that way for years. Maybe always. But I’m not nearly as beautiful as you are either.
And I also totally understand how you can be okay with self portraiture even though when someone else is holding the camera you get skeeved out. My theory is that it’s about the control. When you’re shooting yourself, you retain control of the camera, and by extension control of the situation. You decide what gets shot, and when. And what gets dropped on the cutting room floor. Not so easy when someone else is taking the photos.
But what do I know?
Except that whoever took these captured a very beautiful young woman. Yeah… I know that much.
~ you’re right, it’s about control. when i’m the one in charge, i can quickly delete that nasty one before anyone else lays eyes on it. ~L
Even as you say *hide* …. your beauty is so very obvious. These are absolutely sexy and you have such a beautiful mouth too ; ) HHNT
~ Aww thank you :) ~L
So sweet and beautiful, yet so innocent
A very HHNT
~ Innocence can be very deceiving ;) ~L
Amazing cleavage! i love this white skin!!!
~ I’m not quite that white in real life, but I love playing with the contrast in B&W ~L
Lovely photos… HHNT!
Stunning. So beautiful and SEXY! Both are just incredible, but that first one is soooooo seductive.
I participated too to both categories, GREAT cause.
*muah* sexy girl, happyHNT!
~ I just noticed that it’s going to be a guessing game as to whose boobs are whose but then I saw yours…knew right away!!! :) ~L
I love those pics.
I’m so glad you are supporting the BCF. I run in the Race for the Cure every year as a Mother’s Day gift to my mother. I will be visiting the Boobie Site. :0)
~ If I could run, I would. But they’d be scoopin my ass off the ground, lol ~L
There is something so vunerable and sexy about these. Don’t hide too long…
Happy HNT!
~He always manages to bring me out of hiding ;) ~L
*sigh* just as lovely n’ lickable as ever dahlin’ You should spend alot of time on both ends of the camera!
~ lol, thank you hon! ~L
i think you make an excellent subject.
HHNT !
If you were invisible, you would deny many people the great pleasure they get from looking at you. Happy HNT.
