I would say that I really like taking photos. I love capturing memories to take with me into the future. What I can't stand about taking photos is when someone takes a picture of me without asking for permission. Why? Because I'm used to seeing myself in the mirror. When someone takes a picture of me, I see things that I can't see in the mirror.
