Why Being a Picture Freak Can Be a Good Thing

It drives my family nuts that I'm a picture freak. If I had a dime for every time one of my kids said, Mom...enough with the pictures, I'd be (a little) rich. It really isn't so fun that I have a camera stuck in their faces many times when they'd like to just enjoy the moment.



But every once in awhile it is a good thing that I'm a picture freak. For instance, I have been known to be so engrossed in grabbing a great shot that I don't react like I normally would. That can be a great thing. Like when this guyslitheredright in front of me.



I was so excited that he was right there, so close that I could get a great shot...that I forgot to be scared that a creepy crawler was practically within reach of me. Instead I was screeching, oh my goodness...I can't believe I had the camera out for this!!!!



In the back of my mind I had the thought...I bet I freak out over this later. But I didn't. Even now, when seeing the pictures I am just thrilled I got the shot.



So see kids, I'd be even more neurotic if I didn't take pictures all the time! There is definitely a bright side to this obsession of mine!
