In other words, the man behind the camera is behind the camera.
I came up with a neat idea to make a facebook photo album, entitled "We've met before", featuring old, never seen before pictures of myself with people in my friends list. I figured, I got many (MANY) pictures, all cataloged in chronological order, from many events with many people, so I thought this should be an easy task.
Until I remembered, it was my camera, thus it was usually me shooting the picture.
I did come across a few gems that I want to post (and some that SHOULDN'T be posted), but nowhere near enough pictures that have myself in them to prove that I've met a quarter of the people in my friends list, though I may have pictures of them just by themselves or with other people.
And I love looking at all the past events, and I'm never insecure about being left out of the pictures (as this is the active decision all shutterbugs recognize), but still, just seeing yourself in a picture from long ago can definitely bring more context to your memory than a picture with your absence.

Well, let me rephrase that: "Life is short, take lots of pictures... with a quick self timer."
