Not because I am really opposed to it, but I am the picture taker, so there aren't that many. And I sort of like the thought of my appearance being a mystery. Although very few people that I know actually read my blog, so I don't keep pictures off for fear of being identified - the people who read it that know me are people that I gave the address to.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18010155174814652914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225058560254819105.post-39199331699451769432007-10-23T19:06:00.000-04:002007-10-23T19:06:00.000-04:00I have pictures on my blog but it actually started...I have pictures on my blog but it actually started as an update page for family and friends.

Still, there aren't any focused pictures of me unless the one on the sidebar counts. I figure if those I gave the address to want to follow my opinionated rant, they may, and I expect them to be sensitive and discreet about the information. That said, my husband's best friend's wife is still reading along and keeps her husband informed - that bothered the husband a little bit.<BR/><BR/>Anyone that stumbles across my blog, would, like most others, know it was me. That's mostly okay. I just don't need the coworkers all reading up on my life.

I don't think it's bad, but some of it is personal and maybe embarassing to them if their work contacts read it. I've told most of these stories around the dining room table at extended family dinners to great amusement, but strangers might not view it the same.<BR/><BR/>And my older kid is already embarassed that I am his mom as it is.<BR/><BR/>I have thought about setting up a fl;ickr account and emailing the password to people who read me, so I could share a little without getting too problematic.<BR/><BR/>Biggest reason of all?

I would have to think so much about which photo I would choose that it would feel like such a contrivance. My posts are unedited, stream of consciousness, but if I were to put up a photo, I wouldn't want to post one from before, so Josh and I would lose many hours while I showered, posed, and got myself ready for a new shot.Beruriahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171541078529309991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225058560254819105.post-39496782635552234142007-10-23T11:40:00.000-04:002007-10-23T11:40:00.000-04:00I did post a photo of myself once (no, twice), but...I did post a photo of myself once (no, twice), but it was kind of a big decision.
