There is a reason why I don’t ask strangers to take photos of myself with my own camera:

Somebody’s attempt of capturing us on camera in Cardiff Bay, Wales.

I prefer to use the self timer

We do look much better in reality: hiking the Taff Trail in Wales.

or rather not to take any photos at all. I know what I look like myself, after all, so there is no need to put it on film.

As everybody seems to be equipped with camera phones nowadays, I have also began to think about asking strangers to take photos with their own cameras and giving them my e-mail address for them to e-mail the results to me. On my next trip, I will test how people will react to this proposition.
