1. You end up collecting a bunch of photos - but none of them have you in it
  2. You can’t pass your camera to some stranger for a self portrait
  3. You’ll mostly end up as the free photog on any outings - which is fine until you realize issue (1)
  4. Even IF you somehow coax a stranger to take a photo of you using your SLR, forget about composition, and having correct exposure - you just *hope * the pic comes out OK
  5. Regarding (4), there’s always this nagging feeling the guy/gal will run off with a few thousand ringgit worth of gear
