A picture is worth a thousand words, but in this case keep yours to yourself.

Ever scroll through pics and find an otherwise nice looking or humorous photo? Maybe of two people or a group of people, looking generally happy or doing something funny together? We all live in the facebook age, we've all done this when scrolling through pics of friends. But then you scroll down to the comment box, and more often then not you're going to see a stupid post like this one:

"Wow, I am SUCH a great picture taker, this is like a professional photo."

or maybe this doozy:


"Who took this pic?? It looks AMAZING. You should really thank the photographer!"

and my personal fav:

"OMGZ guyzz. GR8 PIC! rn't you so glad that IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII took it for you?????!?!?!??!"

no.

Just from posting something so stupid and pointless, the general viewing public has now learned a great deal about what happened on that day when that particular photograph was captured. Here are the conclusions that i would draw upon reading this:

1. The person who owns the camera had a nice idea for a picture.
2. The person taking said picture was not asked to be a part of the picture.
3. The person who owns the camera probably did not include the eventual photographer for a reason.
4. The person taking said picture and leaving absurd comments is desperately in need of attention, and wants to show the world they that too were at this place, and just because they aren't a part of the picture doesn't mean that they aren't cool. Because they were there too, and you should know it, because they took the picture.
5. That stupid comment just ruined the whole picture.

Just let them have their picture. The photographer is not what's important. If you notice a picture that you took when browsing through photo's, and you're not a part of it, then keep your words faaaarrrrrrr away from the comment box, unless you are gonna comment on how pretty somebody looks, or how funny it is. For the love of god, don't start bragging about how great the picture is because the photographer is amazing. It's not like you used any special tactics or effects to make the picture come out so great and flawless. You pointed the camera and you clicked a button. That's it. Point and click. Done. You should leave it that way.
