Memoirs of a Cam Whore
Everyone who knows me, especially since I've had a camera, will know that I'm a cam whore. I decided at a young age that I enjoyed taking pictures, and started with poor blurry photographs of the ground, and perhaps a bit of sky and the top of someone's head. It was later in life that I decided that I wanted to write down a lot of things in my life to remember things, and to take photographs for the same reason. Through my years I've had a few cameras, but never in my life have I taken as many pictures as I do now.

Before I got my most recent camera, I said to a friend "If I had a camera I'd take pictures of everything." To which she said, "No, even when you have a camera you will take hardly any pictures."
Now that I have a camera, I take pictures of everything. Well, almost everthing.

I soon realised that I am in fact, a cam whore. Then this afternoon I thought, why do I take pictures of everything? Because you can guarentee that most of them will end up on facebook. Is it for other people, to look at and be jealous of how much fun I have and how young and attractive I am? Is it for my friends because they're in the pictures? Or is it for my own personal gratification?
I think maybe it's a bit of all three. I am a cam whore after all. But who cares? They're just photographs. I do admit, it got a bit ridiculous when my friends and I took about 170 pictures in one night, a lot of which were of the same thing.

Maybe I should just take less pictures of people pulling faces and take some more of something more interesting... I'll definately be taking better pictures when I get a big ass Canon.

For now, I will enjoy being a cam whore, and my friends will appreciate it, they will appreciate the memories, and together we will throw caution to the wind and laugh, laugh I tell you!!
