I am very much a historian, of sorts. There's a belief that is held by some Indigenous people that photographs can steal your soul. A hobby of mine is photography, though I don't normally take pictures of people but often landscape, as to share through an image of what I see to others who are not there to witness it. Well, I feel I'm stealing a piece of something special that is meant for my eyes at that exact moment, but I digress. The idea of stealing someone's soul through photography is something that was on my mind prior to finding out I wasn't the only one who thought this way. To be honest, I very rarely allow my picture to be taken. One, I'm very self-conscious anyway, but I'm also aware that I'm very private. I don't know how I feel about the idea that someone a hundred years from now will be looking at my picture and wondering what my life must've been like. Hypocritical, I know, because I do this as a hobby because I'm so fascinated by history.

To the question though: How many here feel like it can "steal your soul" or just feel like it's a moment in time that would be special for the person taking it? Do you like your picture taken?
