Stop This.


Apparently some people haven't figured out that cameras work just as well when aimed at eye level.

I guess one of the reasons for this irritating trend is to showcase cleavage, and so to distract attention away from the face.

Another cause may be the desire of the subject to appear weak and waif-like by creating the illusion that she is the size of a child.

Am I supposed to be intimidated?

Ooh, you're so scary! Unfortunately it's because you're so hideous! Listen, ladies, holding your camera up high does nothing but present the same ugly subject from a new angle. All anyone learns about you from a portrait like this is that you have arms of a standard or perhaps excessive length.

Why is it that women these days are going out of their way to present themselves as being more unattractive than they already are? Pajama bottoms that make them look homeless, lip piercings that make them look like the ones that got away, and now these self-portraits from high in the sky, which serves only to make them appear less mature and technologically savvy than stereotype has already asserted. If you want to be treated as equals, it's time to grow up!
