Does the camera really add 10 pounds to a person's body?
Just wondering, since everyone else thinks it does. |

I think it does. Maybe that's why I come out so fat on pictures.

No Paul, she meant, when you take a picture of someone will you end up (in the picture) looking 10 lbs. bigger/heavier. I don't notice it though.

I think people just say that sometimes.
However depending on the lens you could look wider. But i'm no expert. fallen fairy |

it's just something bigger people say because they see themselves and it appears that they are bigger than they think. [/sarcasm]

i agree with the whole celebrity thing...probably because most people will never meet that particular celebrity in their life (unless its oprah) so they just say the camera adds 10 lbs because the viewer will never actually see them up close.

It's like... the first time you've seen yourself aside from the mirror. The mirror is life-size ... the TV isn't. I don't know. I'm just kidding.

I think it adds ten pounds when the camera is too close to you.
