Doesn’t play for me now as not on instagram it may do from the blog page:
 
Borrrrrring. What IS it with grandparents wanting to inflict others with endless photos of their offspring ??? Delightful for you, yes, and so it should be, but FFS who else ****** cares ??? we don't know them, they are not in our orbit, but please, be 'proud' within the family, because everyone else just yawns.

I read title of the thread and couldn’t work out what it referred to!

I read it as 40 second turn over meaning you’d only hacked 40 seconds of a QVC show before having to turn over! (That has happened many times before for me - less even if I catch sight of a presenter I can’t hack!)

But now realise - I think! - from watching Jackies Insta video that it was a 40 second studio turn around?

I found the *awful* music was making it hard to watch or take in - had to turn sound off! - but if that is a real time video, it’s pretty impressive/efficient?!

Wonder who coordinates these things?

Think I saw Ruth getting in the way/trying to get on camera at the end! 🙄

Debbie’s blogs would be better if she didn’t photobomb every picture. 🙄
Really doesn’t add anything to the photos either - it’d be better if she just took the photos rather than trying to be in them as well!

Plus she does insist on featuring her grandchildren in her photos and on social media, despite their parents clearly not wanting their children’s faces shown, so pointless pics of their hats or backs of heads etc!

I don’t mind!
I’m parent age not grand-parent so maybe I’m not exposed to many - it’s mostly friends showing pics of their own offspring - but so long as it’s *within reason*, I like looking at photos 😊

Some people take it to extremes - especially now there’s Facebook and Instagram - and admit endless posts get tedious.
Unless I’m related to them!

Often ask friends to send me pics tho, as can’t be there IRL.

Didn’t know Debbie had another one (baby boy) but he does look adorable!
 
I absolutely hate having my picture taken, just as I hate the resulting photos, so Debbie’s obsession with her own image, and with it featuring right at the forefront and therefore being the biggest (satellite dish-like, as I always think), baffles me. Give her her due, she can’t be vain because she obviously doesn’t mind how she looks in them. She‘s just there, lines, wrinkles and all (nothing wrong with lines and wrinkles, of course - I’m just highlighting her nonchalance).

Crikey, is that grudging respect on my part there??!
 
I’m the same. I hate having my photo taken. I have a friend who is snappy happy but always looks amazing in pictures.
I always look miserable and I have a slight congenital issue with a droopy eyelid.It always shows up in pictures.
Even for my wedding I didn’t want pictures but agreed to have 12 . Now all these years later I’m glad I did.
I guess if you take good pictures then you will take as many as possible.

And me, and I even have a thread about it in the "angry section" in the drop! I'm pleased to report that quite a few of my friends have actually stopped photographing every last detail of everything we do together and I find it much more relaxing knowing that I'm not going to have yet another hideous photo of myself posted on social media.

I agree with that too - I used to take a good picture when I was younger, you couldn't keep me away from the camera! I dunno what happened 'cause I look horrendous in them now, despite me thinking I look ok when I've checked in the mirror before I leave home!

Newborns are cute, I suppose. But I have never had a strong maternal instinct, and I don't want to look at photos of people's babies or grand babies and be expected to coo over them. I don't want to hear stories about people's kids either.
 
Andik you sound like me, even early school photos never looked happy and wanted to be there.

A friend who is older than me loves getting her photo taken. She gets up every morning, looks in the bathroom mirror and says, "I am gorgeous!" I think that is brilliant.

We can’t all be wrong! I just don’t understand how I can generally be quite happy with what I see in the mirror, then a photo is produced which tells me I look nothing like that. Wish I could be like the people you all describe. I know at least three families where they have these huge photos of themselves (usually with their kids but not always) framed on the walls. And not just one. If I lived with someone and they did that with photos of me, I would slash them (the pictures, obviously!). I guess some people are just comfortable in their own skin and I am not one of them. And don’t get me started on the people who take pictures of you when you are out with them, whether everyone likes it or not, and put it on social media. I’m pleased that happens less and less now.
 
My OH is an artist and painted a large oil portrait of me, slightly larger than life size.

It is leaning against the wall in spare bedroom, facing wall. But actually it is an excellent portrait.
I think I’d rather that than a photo because I don’t care what anyone says photos LIE! I am actually as perfect as I think I am!!

I suppose you check the portrait periodically, Strato, to see if it’s ageing while you look ever more youthful?
 
I look crap in photos if I have a good one taken I am shocked. My children/ grandchildren want to have loads of me so when I am not around they have happy memories. Nothing makes me panic more than a camera.

Yes, I was tempted to put it in the loft like Dorian Grey,
