My love-hate relationship with Photography

Audio : Listen
I am into PHOTOGRAPHY - being the one taking the pictures of course!
Being the 'pro' that I was, I was frequently volunteered as the photographer at family gatherings and such. Now, the reasons why I seldom declined (unless it is for wedding or ROM), is that I would rather be the one taking pictures than being the one in the pictures.
As an average looking person (by my own high standards), I hated going in front of the lens. I feel uneasy posing for a picture and get a little (just a little lah!) worried of how I would look in the final print. Haha! I quite vain-pop one ok?!?!
While getting photographed is not my cuppa, I must admit that I am quite an avid photographer.
You might catch me snapping away at the plants outside my flat, scrutinizing the moulds that are growing around the flower pots, pointing my camera at kids (not kiddie porn hor! I am not like some people leh!), etc. 'CRAZY', that's what my wife likes to call me whenever she sees me doing these. My most recent 'project' was taken from my living room with a DIY setup that took me 5 mins to do up. I have posted a shot from this project at Clubsnap.org Forums for comments and critique. You can view the discussion thread here.
As you can see, I am the sort of guy who would rather be 'shooting at' than being 'shot at'. Please forgive me the next time you see me excusing myself from a shot. :)
So folks, what makes your cuppa?
