Originally posted by Rondec I think my one comment (and maybe this is the point of your comic) is that my interactions with my children and those around me change when I am constantly pointing a camera (whether in my phone or SLR) at them. Others have said that they and their spouse both enjoy photography together and if that's the case, that's probably a different situation, but children tend to stiffen up and have much more stand-offishness when someone is constantly taking photos of them doing stuff. Or at least mine do.
Certainly if I am by myself at sunrise, I have no problem being antisocial and taking all sorts of images with no regard to the environmental impact of such shutter clicking.
I've noticed that some adults can be like this, too.
I wonder it is arises from a burden of expectations about photography. Perhaps some are taught or believe that photos should show your-best behavior, look-nice-for-grandma, it's-on-your-permanent-record, smile-for-the-camera, etc.
Maybe it is an innate realization (or fear) about the discrepancy between our true uninhibited self and personal or societal expectations of our self.

Of course, there's also another segment of children, teenagers, and adults who refuse to "act serious" for the camera and prefer to crazy antics instead of stiff poses.
Ironically, group #2 probably gets more "likes" on social media than group #1.
