Funny Faces. Why?

[Andy M]

Why do people pull funny faces when you're trying to take their photo?

[Mrs Trackside]

I do it because I hate how I look in photos when it's a serious picture. At least if I'm pulling a funny face, no-one can take the mickey out of how I look.

In short, it's embarrassment of the camera

[haze]

9 times out of 10, its a hint that the person involved does not wish to have a camera pointed at them.
