cameras at the ready...

ive a relative's wedding coming up in a few weeks and without doubt there'll be the happy snappers around the dinner table at the meal ready to upload millions of half decent pics to Facebook. its like people don't even ask nowadays, they just fire away with the camera while you're not even ready to pose. im not that photogenic and hate this kinda lark where you're tagged in awkward pics and made to feel bad if you'd rather embrace your own right to privacy and stay out of the lens if you wanna. nothing is sacred nowadays, weddings and the like are just a vanity exercise to be splashed all over facebook etc. I sound old but I kinda preferred it back when there was just those developed photos in an Kodak album from the shop, ya feel me?

Change your settings on FB so that you need to approve anything you are tagged in or anything posted to your time line

Play them at their own game OP, get yer own camera out and take pictures of them taking pictures of people.

This.

There's pretty much nothing you can do to stop someone taking a photograph of you. I realsed this a few years ago and, as long as they're not in my face and I don't have to spent ages looking at the photo, go ahead. Makes me feel a lot more comfortable when I'm out now.

Publishing it in a place where your friends are going to see it though, is somethign you do have some control over. In any case, most of the people who see it were probabl at the wedding anyway.

The alternative is to wear a burka.
