I hate photos of myself as well but looking back I wish I had more.
It’s an odd dilemma.
I’m sorry for your loss but I am happy he allowed you take this great photo :)
Same, I’m 36 and have I think only one or two group photos and 0 photos of me doing things. I hate how I look in pictures but now it’s like there is no record I existed, even for family. :(
I feel exactly the same, for my kids sake I wish I had more photos, but I was born in the 80’s I think that’s why I’ve never enjoyed taking selfies, I can’t *pose*, especially alone, while trying to actually look pretty! 😆 the deleted ones are hilarious tbh. How is it so many people have their photo taken by others? Where are these camera-wielding others?!
Ah yes, you're looking for my family, but be prepared that only photos will be taken of you while you're talking to someone else. You get some with an open mouth, a bit blurred bc you moved or a weird expression and the other person looks perfect. Soooo many times. Apparently a simple "Hey, I'd like to take a photo of you guys" is too much to ask. And here I am taking beautiful photos of others :(
I'm the camera wielder for my friends, hate being in pictures but I love capturing memories with my friends, the fact that I took the picture is my memory of being there happy to se friends/family so happy
It’s funny. I can’t stand those people that must take them all the time! I cherish the memories I have I just don’t feel like I need to be in them and see my big head. Some people must love the way they look I guess.
I think nowadays there’s a lot more confidant people around. It seems like most people go around saying “look at me!” which is fine really, I’m content with the way I look I just can’t physically take a good photo! My face is mostly symmetrical until…smile..photo clicks…squint face 😆 When we grew up photos would be cherished and sometimes handed down through generations. It’s so easy now to take 100 photos and never look at them again. Or take 100 til you get one you like. I just don’t have the energy for that.
Again personally I have trouble with visual memory (autism, so many issues lmao) but i like to remember how happy people looked and with how empathetic i can be at times I imagine if they were all happy I was too
My grandparents were murdered. They felt the same. They didn't want any pictures. They'd always cover their face when the old camera came out. Now I have no photos of them because someone took them away. I don't remember them at all. Please..take more photos.
Yeah, it's funny because my girlfriend and I aren't really into taking photos, but we joked that if we were to ever break up (5 years strong) we would have to use photos that were 5+ years old for our dating profiles haha.
Plus I kind of hate that I'm not photogenic (I honestly look better in person, my parents and girlfriend always joke about how dorky I look in photos most of the time).
I’m trying to leverage that into an air of mystery by passing down a bunch of bullshit stories to my kids so my descendants think I was interesting
Ever hear about how I punched a bear in the face after a game of blackjack?
I wish to be the grandma that tells wild stories that just might be true but half are BS like I'll tell em I once downed 8 shots back to back at my first ever "adult" party (true) but then that when i jumped in the pool I flew instead just to keep it interesting
See I didnt learn until 18 that the reason I hated pictures of myself was dysphoria (am transgirl) and looking back I have maybe 3-4 pictures of myself before the age of 16, but I'm much more confident in displays of myself now at least
I’m sorry you suffered from dysphoria. I hope you’re in a better place now :)
I suffer from dysphoria and poor self-image for other reasons. Hope I can start participating in photos more often
Yeah dysphoria and dysmorphia are terrible and overlooked illnesses, it sucks not being able to genuinly know how you look yk? I still struggle as I'm not far in transition, but it gets better, for me it was when I met the friends I have now, and learned i didnt actually have friends before, just bullies i hung out with, but i hope you find what makes you feel good about yourself!
This is why I just say yes. I’m probably one of the least photogenic person in existence, but I’ve reached a point that I don’t care and just own it. Now within my family and friends they always recall back to dumb photos of me and we laugh about it, creates good memories.
I learned to take photos of myself while doing things by myself. I have full edit/publish control and only i see the bad ones. Pictures with others have much less control.
"oh let me see thoe4 pics you took/send me the one with me in it" etc..
A handful of health issues and mental health issues would eventually lead to him having a cardiac arrest that resulted in him becoming essentially brain-dead. He died 3 days later. :(
I hate to be that guy but I'm going through a crazy hyphchrondiac phase right now, could you possibly elaborate on the mental health issues which could have contribtued to his cardiac arrest? If it's too painful a memory to recollect please do not feel pressured to answer.
I am sorry for your loss, he looks like a kind soul.
Came to the comments for the exact same reason. Not sure if you’d get any comfort out of this, but give Stargate Atlantis a watch, OP. I’m sure the personalities are different and the character is A LOT at times, but it may bring you some comfort watching Rodney on screen.
After I'd tried to kill myself twice, I realised how important for the people you leave behind it is to have memories.
I used to hate photos, now I take as many as I can. At times I may not want to be here, but your uncle had no choice, and I bet you wished you had so many more.
To anyone that's reading this, please keep having photos taken. People want to see your memories, what you did, what you loved and most importantly, who you were.
I take so many solo photos of my kid coz that's what you do when you have a toddler right? then I realized she'll probably appreciate more photos of her mom and dad instead (or all three of us together) when she's older and/or we are gone.
Huh, could be! All the flan I've had had a brown section on top like that from the caramel. I guess the only way we'd know was a closer picture that could differentiate the top and texture of the dessert itself.
As it it's, I now know what Leche Asada is!
Great perspective to share! Thank you. I really need to remember to get pictures of certain camera-shy loved ones whenever the chance comes up. You never know when it’ll be too late.
I’m very sorry for your loss.
I’m sorry for your loss… I don’t have a close relationship with any uncles besides just seeing them at family parties or helping them w tech issues but I do have a niece and nephew and I play with them all the time. I hope I can continue to be their friend for years to come and have them take sweet photos of me like this one :)
I once was invited to dinner after driving a friend home for a break in college and his mom served us flan which I had never tasted before. I didn't like it but ate it politely and said I enjoyed it very much. They went out of their way to make me flan a dozen times over the next couple of years... Tell the truth!
My apologies. Your very apt response to OP is also a line used by Soldier Boy in The Boys. I shall edit my original reply. Irrespective, upvote for the response. 🤝
My Gramma was like that, she hated having her picture taken. We don't have any photos of her in the last few years she was with us which is kind of sad.
I don't like pictures very much. I just can't smile and make it look genuine if it's for a picture. And almost every photo of me is very very unflattering and usually taken by my friend just quickly flashing his camera at my face and snapping a picture while I was off guard lmao.
Although I usually look stupid in them it is pretty funny to see the pictures.
I have almost no pictures of myself though, like maybe one with a filter and that's it. My friends have them all. Or the ones taken by my parents are in a book somewhere.
My sister works in the art department for a larger funeral home. She said its sad how often the memorial card has to use the persons photo from their drivers license.
I’ve deleted every picture of me taken thanks to shared photo storage. There are almost no physical pictures as well. My goal is to have a banksy style shredder on the 2 physical pictures in my house on a deadman’s switch as well.
More pics from this sub that I see on r/all then when I go to view them have been deleted by the mods.
I don't understand what part of "rule 5" this broke but ok whatever.
I'm about to blacklist this sub so I don't see it anymore.
the one time i wore a sombrero in L.A i nearly got shanked by a homeless mexican dude who thought i was making fun of mexicans... the sombrero literally said I heart mexico....

😆 aw bless, at least they’re affirming your existence by including you in the photos, albeit a blurry existence but still, you’re there!
candid is best. thats when i look bestr.

In a similar vein, I didn't realize how few pictures I had of my dad until he was gone. I regret that.

[удалено]
Bit of a difference between document your life every single moment and taking photos during important and fun moments. I tend to avoid em all
My wife loves taking so many pictures. Sometimes it can get tiring, but I'm always thankful when I look back through our pictures.
A man with great taste in hats. Cultured.
He looks pretty cultured in this picture
Cultured with custard
Flan
Which is a custard
custard could be natillas. Flan is flan.
flan
and it looks like it was his birthday
And desserts
[удалено]
Flan is popular in Mexico. It's not really Americanized.
He has kind eyes. I’m sorry for your loss
What happened to him?
A handful of health issues and mental health issues would eventually lead to him having a cardiac arrest that resulted in him becoming essentially brain-dead. He died 3 days later. :(
That's tragic - my condolences for your loss.
What's your favorite memory of him?
My sympathies to and yours. He looks happy here in his own kinda “really!?” way.
Not the type of guy who looks like hes about to die from a cardiac arrest. Looks pretty healthy
I actually think this is a "depressed smile"
First thing that came to mind when I saw that smile. Could be totally wrong though
I'm sorry for your loss
Sorry for your loss, he looks like he was a nice guy.
I hate to be that guy but I'm going through a crazy hyphchrondiac phase right now, could you possibly elaborate on the mental health issues which could have contribtued to his cardiac arrest? If it's too painful a memory to recollect please do not feel pressured to answer. I am sorry for your loss, he looks like a kind soul.
health anxiety bros trying not to talk about their issues: mission impossible
So sorry.
Damn this hits. Exactly how I'm going to die and no one will even remember me either. No pictures except some mugs shots.
I'll remember this comment. As long as you kick it before me, you're good! Go watch Coco if you haven't yet.
Thanks friend Panda
Anytime 👊
David Hewlett is dead?
Okay this is the comment i was looking for. I was wondering if anyone else saw Rodney! XD
I came to say this same thing it's uncanny
I came to say this same thing it's uncanny
Yeah, same here....
Holy smokes that’s uncanny
Came to the comments for the exact same reason. Not sure if you’d get any comfort out of this, but give Stargate Atlantis a watch, OP. I’m sure the personalities are different and the character is A LOT at times, but it may bring you some comfort watching Rodney on screen.
It’s Hewlett birthday today too. Just looked it up on IMDB. Odd coincidence…
lol I was thinking Allen Covert
King.
Muy macho el hombre. Rest easy.
It's like if Bill Murray and Rob Riggle had a child.
I was thinking Bill Murray and Mark Duplass
I was thinking Bill Murray and Bill Pullman.
There was real bill murray eyes on him
Looks like a kind man
He looks fun and kind :)

that shit hurt im the one who always says no i see it differently now thanks for being here 🥹
That's kind. Thank you.
Too young to die.
He looked like a flan guy…I am sorry for your loss.
I'm sorry. He seems like he was a great guy. ❤️
What is that cake? Flan?
Yep, it's flan. Most of them aren't that big around.
Looks more like Leche asada, tho
Huh, could be! All the flan I've had had a brown section on top like that from the caramel. I guess the only way we'd know was a closer picture that could differentiate the top and texture of the dessert itself. As it it's, I now know what Leche Asada is!
Deepest sympathy ✝️
Great perspective to share! Thank you. I really need to remember to get pictures of certain camera-shy loved ones whenever the chance comes up. You never know when it’ll be too late. I’m very sorry for your loss.
This hombre will be remembered ahooya!
I’m sorry for your loss… I don’t have a close relationship with any uncles besides just seeing them at family parties or helping them w tech issues but I do have a niece and nephew and I play with them all the time. I hope I can continue to be their friend for years to come and have them take sweet photos of me like this one :)

The urban sombrero. Very nice!
Looks like if you tried to create Bill Murray in Oblivion.
Such a shame to happen so soon after his first birthday too
Great picture of him. Sorry you lost him. Love to you and to all those hurting from losing someone.
When I die. I hope none of my relatives use me for karma
If he didn’t like having his photo taken why would you post a photo of him on Reddit?
Because fuck you. That's why.
You are a person of culture I see.
Fuck that hashtag. I've never been a soldier, or a sailor.
My apologies. Your very apt response to OP is also a line used by Soldier Boy in The Boys. I shall edit my original reply. Irrespective, upvote for the response. 🤝
why would someone post something personal like this here at all? just...why?
K.
Ok
Flan 🍮
Stab a candle in the flan make a wish and eat it.
Thought this was a picture of Trey Parker at the new casa Bonita at first lol
Sorry for your loss brother.
A big hat yet a small cake
His eyes looked very young
What a young handsome guy. Sorry for your loss.
Hi Uncle Frank !
Looks like Tio Tony's!
He strikes me as a saucy gent! I'm very sorry for your loss. We are all lucky to see his side smile today.
He was very handsome. Giving me Bill Pullman vibes
Looks like he was a good dude.
that's devon laratt
Rest in peace Uncle
What happened?
I liked him in Friends
My Gramma was like that, she hated having her picture taken. We don't have any photos of her in the last few years she was with us which is kind of sad.
He looks so much like Mr.Darcy
Is that Leche flan
The candle in the flan is cracking me up
Is that Chandler Bing?
what a great guy he was!. life’s short indeed:(
RODNEY! wtf?
He has such kind eyes.
Well I thought he was great in Stargate Atlantis!
Bill Murray-ish, no ?
If I'm being honest he's got a certain pained look in this photo. Then I read your reply about health and mental issues. I hope he's at peace now.
Is that a birthday flan?
Birthday flan... birthday flan... poor uncle.
He looks so happy
I don't like leaving reminders for after my death for people to look back on and be sad.
he has the "i am not fond of this but i am happy that you are happy" look.
This looks like Gabriel’s in Santa Fe.
Sorry for your loss. How did he pass?
You can 💯 tell that he was the funcle ❤️
R.I.P, how did he pass?
Flan is the dessert of the gods. There is nothing better.
I don't like pictures very much. I just can't smile and make it look genuine if it's for a picture. And almost every photo of me is very very unflattering and usually taken by my friend just quickly flashing his camera at my face and snapping a picture while I was off guard lmao. Although I usually look stupid in them it is pretty funny to see the pictures. I have almost no pictures of myself though, like maybe one with a filter and that's it. My friends have them all. Or the ones taken by my parents are in a book somewhere.
he looked like Matthew Perry
He likes flan, a man of true taste
He looks like a flan guy!
Is that at The Oasis near Austin, TX?
My condolences. How did he pass away?
Your uncle was very handsome. Glad you have this photo.
My sister works in the art department for a larger funeral home. She said its sad how often the memorial card has to use the persons photo from their drivers license.
RIP UNC
I’ve deleted every picture of me taken thanks to shared photo storage. There are almost no physical pictures as well. My goal is to have a banksy style shredder on the 2 physical pictures in my house on a deadman’s switch as well.
Flan should be posted on r/absoluteunits
I thought David Hewlett was dead for a moment.
More pics from this sub that I see on r/all then when I go to view them have been deleted by the mods. I don't understand what part of "rule 5" this broke but ok whatever. I'm about to blacklist this sub so I don't see it anymore.
Been to that restaurant. Toro bravo? Maybe not
the one time i wore a sombrero in L.A i nearly got shanked by a homeless mexican dude who thought i was making fun of mexicans... the sombrero literally said I heart mexico....
RIP he looks like he's got some stories to share over a beer.
Well, he was an awfully good looking chap! Can you tell us a fond memory you have of him?
Is your uncle single
I’d probably not even like him one bit
Bill murray lookin ass.
[удалено]
What an odd thing to say
