who many pictures of yourself do you have

[Shely]

I just got through the last day off with another swipe at dresses I bought at GW. I had a blast on the 10 for $10 and 9 worked out real well. While sorting out my photos of the week I realized I had pictures of me in almost 500 different dresses. I often take 6 or 7 pictures, while dressed, then delete all but the best single picture. I have been doing this for several years now and have loaded them all to Flikr.

I just began to wonder, if this is an obsession with me, of course it is. Well how many pictures of dresses do you have saved away?

[Piora]

I occasionally take pictures, but only if I plan to post them here. I never leave any on my phone, though. I then delete them from every device, so my answer would be: none. I don't even have my profile picture that you see as my avatar!

[Sami Brown]

I don't think I have any of me in a dress, but I probably have a few dozen of other outfits. I have been doing this for only a month or so.

Vanity is not strong in me.

[sarah_hillcrest]

This is becoming a real problem for me. 11 gigs of photos, nearly 1700, and most of them taken in the last 6 months.

[Christelle]

over a thousand mostly in lingerie taken over the past 10 years.

[sara66]

I have 16 of me dressed. I have taken less than 12 of me in drab in my life.

None. And nothing is going to change that. I have my reasons, first being why on Earth would I do that? Not that I take selfies in male mode...

[Gizmo, Debbie]

I haven't counted but around 20ish. I only take a photo if I feel there is something worth taking a photo for so that family and friends can see it.

I'll be adding a new photo to the list later as I take a selfie to show my new glasses.

[Jaymees22]

I'm only a little obsessed about 500 pictures over a 5 year period not counting the ones on the cutting room floor. Have been taking less pictures lately, maybe I've out grown it or have a little more confidence in my appearance.

[Majella St Gerard]

over 1000 on my phone

[MusicMeister]

So far, about 30 or so. I’m fairly new to it so I’m having fun trying on new outfits and seeing what works. I can definitely see my phone becoming quickly filed with photos since they are just so darn quick and easy to take these days.

[AubriMikayla]

I have about 8 in my collection .. not big on pics overall

This propensity towards self-photography among CD and TG women I find an amazing phenomenon.

Does anyone know WHY you do it? Narcissism? Self-love? Validation? Fascinationi? A "WTF" factor? a cheap thrill?

I have two. Both taken from my visual point of view, so there's no facial shot there anywhere. One looking downward while in my cute maid's dress, the other, taken using a full length mirror of the view from the back. And from the back, I look like some poor maid turned into the hulk....not good. I keep it to remind myself NEVER to ever think I would pass, anywhere.

[Maria 60]

I have at least 1000 but I fear technology so I don't take any pics with my cell phone, I'm afraid with a slip of a finger I will send pics to all my contacts.
I take pics with a camera and put them on a secure memory card, l believe someone here had mentioned if I have an old phone with no database to use that phone for pictures.

Here's a cut and paste of the actual properties of the folder which archives images and videos.
There's a folder of recent file that haven't been archived yet of unknown proportion.

164 GB (176,477,347,840 bytes)

12,753 Files, 476 Folders

I don't see anything obsessive at all.

[DanielleDubois]

Only about 60GB for me Carla, so an amateur compared to you ! As for being obsessive, for me it's more obsessive-compulsive

I probably have a couple hundred, but the collection is growing fast!

All of the above, I also enjoy visual record keeping.

[kimdl93]

None....none at all

[docrobbysherry]

Like Carla, I have filled about 12 SD cards with pics of Sherry. The last 2 were 32 GB cards. And, I'm already 1/4 thru my next 32 GB card started just before Halloween! My stories require reams of pics in various outfits and settings.

If I have 100,000 pics taken over the last 10 years of just Sherry, I wouldn't be surprised!

[IleneD]

Sarah...... you're more than welcomed to add a few causal factors to the list.

[alesha]

Too many to count. Digital photography has made it easy to take lots and lots of pics. I don't delete any of them..... Plus, I still have some from pre-digital days that I've scanned.

Probably all of the above as somebody else has mentioned already, but for me, it's validation. And, I'm an amateur photographer and Alesha is an easy, willing model.

[JaneinFL]

Probably have 40+.2017-12-02-161523.jpg
