There are cultures that believe having your photograph taken steals your soul. I don't think there is a stolen soul in a picture, but still - why is it so hard to throw them away?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Every time your picture is taken, you lose a part of your soul.
If each photograph steals a bit of the soul, isn't it possible that I give up pieces of mine every time I take a picture?
I can understand why those primitive desert people think a camera steals their soul. It is unnatural to see yourself from the outside.
I say no to photographs. When people take my picture, I feel like they've taken a piece of me, and I can't get that back. It's soul-draining.
The soul never thinks without a picture.
The human body is the best picture of the human soul.
I just don't understand how people can get so caught up in having their picture taken.
It's nice to sometimes get things out of life, rather than stealing from other artists. I'm trying to steal from the real people.
I really do believe the camera steals the soul. But that may be because I'm worried about my soul. I don't have much of a soul to begin with; I can't afford to lose much.
I just think it's important to be direct and honest with people about why you're photographing them and what you're doing. After all, you are taking some of their soul.
