That's why all of my pictures are in my apartment. I go to a Midwestern school where I will see people again. I'm way too embarrassed to do the self-timer thing in public.

I've used the "I'm taking pictures to send to my family in a far off place" ruse before. I was still embarrassed. D8

I don't think I would be embarrassed, I would be worried instead cause here people are always dangerous. Imagine I put down my camera, run to the spot and turn back, my camera disappears!! Urg I will burst out in tears haha

Yeah, I get super embarrassed too! I even get embarrassed when I shoot at home, because I live with my boyfriend and he will NOT stop making fun of me for doing the self-timer thing, so awkward! XD

I bet I could do it, but I prefer not to...lol. I would just tell people it's a school project.
I take them in my backyard and my neighbour's children spy on me. Good times.

I just bought a tripod so I could do this. I feel like I'm annoying my friends to take my pictures even though they enjoy doing it.

LOL yes I get embarrassed to use it but always do. I try to find a location where no one is at. When people show up and I have my tripod set up and taking photos of myself I am sure they think I am way full of myself or something. So yeah it is embarrassing.

I just got caught doing some cringey lookbook poses by my neighbour. Awkward.
I just wanted to yell "can't you have a cigarette some other time!"

I guess if I would see somebody taking pictures with timer, I would just think that he has no friends who can take the pictures for him :D but friends have a life too!

HAH yes! I have no photographer, so I am constantly striping in my car to change my outfit and then running to get into pose for the camera timer. :P

I really wouldn't use the self timer in public, that'd be super embarrassing! and on top of that I'd be afraid that somebody just takes my camera and runs off! :D

Whenever I use a self timer with my tripod, I always try to go to a place where no one is. But then when you do see someone, it's so awkward and hilarious at the same time when "what the heck is she doing" is written on their face;) but lately I've been able to goon some adventures with my friends;)

I usually only use self-timer when I'm at home, but even that makes me feel a little embarrassed because my dogs stare at me as if I'm being really silly. When I'm out, I'd feel like asking my friends to take photos for me but I can never figure out how as it just feels weird.
