The camera hates me. Always has, even in my younger days and now, with bags and wrinkles, I look in photographs like someone whose face has been pushed through a glass door.
People have criticized me for years for being camera-shy, so I gave my phobia about being photographed a run for its money by booking two appointments on the first of this month: one with a photographer and one with a makeup artist.
As a result, I do believe that the old adage about silk purses is absolutely true.
