People love pictures because people like visual stimulation. Cameras seize a moment in time and prepare it for your perusal.

What everybody doesn't know, is that the little shits are actually evil sadists.

That's right!

Nikon is nothing more than a front for an insidious cult who summon demons and imps and imprison them in the damned devices. Forcing them to use their powers to freeze time on film.

Actually, I am pretty sure Terry Pratchett is correct and the little buggers just paint REALLY fast.

But while you may imprison the demonic, they still have a nasty sense of humor.

This should explain why there is the phenomena such as "Red Eye", "Cameras add 100 lbs", etc.

I have always had an instinctual dislike of having my picture taken. I am not photogenic, and will subject myself to it only when forced or snuck up on.

The other shitty thing about cameras and those enslaved by the demons within, is that the more you hate having your picture taken, the more they MUST have a shot of you.

It's like you are allergic to cats... and even the most anti-social feline thinks you are the shit!

You even gotta keep the buggers interested!

You ever notice that if someone takes endless landscape and monument shots, they get blurry and forget about it if your on a tour bus in motion.

But take a naughty photo of your wife/girlfriend/whatever, and BLAM, Crystal Clear and in 3D Folks!

Oh!

and by the way, if you take such personal shots, ever wonder what force drives you to get the photos developed at the shop run by grandma-esque old ladies or creepy dudes?

Yup! damn little buggers just gotta have the last laugh!

You should dunk the camera in Holy Water and bury that fucker in some reliquary beneath a church somewhere (preferably long forgotten).

That'll teach the little shits to sass ya.
