Odd picture observation

Why do people take pictures of themselves in their cars? Is that the only place they can find to set the camera down and take a photo? Do they think that is their most flattering backdrop - of them driving a car? Are they embarrased to have anyone see them so they go hide in their car and take their picture?

I like the ones where they're taking a picture of themselves in the mirror, and the mirror image of the camera is visible in the picture.

Do women do this too?? I kind of thought it was a guy thing! JMHO, but I think it's like saying "see, this is what I drive, so that makes me special". NEXT!

even better, when the camera in the mirror is their cell phone.

I've seen this "sitting inside my car" shot quite a bit. You can't even tell what type of car it is. Just a picture of someone in their seat. The headrests are generally very prominent as well. Is it really that hard to get a few casual photos?

The oddest picture award though goes to the webcam people. Those grainy shots that make them look as if they live in some strange orange hued world with a permanently stone look on their face.

I hate webcams. Makes me think they do dirty stuff on them and creeps me out.
