rebecca_dsu 241 Posted May 1, 2013 It's great to take some before shots, but you are going to wish you had some better before pictures instead of just in the mirror, uncropped, unrotated ones that don't really give you the best idea of "before". Have you seen some of the fantastic ones people post full body side by side images of before and after? These shots just aren't going to give you justice when you get to goal and get ready to do your side by side images. Get that husband of yours to take some full body shots from all angles and some face shots from the front and side, or a good friend Good luck on your sleeve journey!!!! 1 eLinor reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eLinor 12 Posted May 1, 2013 I agree with needing better shots! This was kind of a big step to post those. I would be lying if I said I didn't make them obscure on purpose! ~ L Nor in TX 1 Kelsan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eLinor 12 Posted May 1, 2013 Actually, I take damn good pics with my Samsung camera...posting these low quality shots was a big step for me. I am doing things for myself now. Thanks for speaking out for the professional photographers, though..that was real helpful. ~ L Nor in TX 1 Kelsan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
