It’s the rarest few who naturally captivate the spectator’s view
You find it funny now, but who’ll be laughing later?
The ‘back a bit’ gag only works with real jeopardy
Making it look perfectly natural in front of unforgiving cameras
Most people need to learn; a very few just can
The ‘back a bit’ gag works perfectly with modest jeopardy
Is it only me, thinks every portrait is a selfie?
Looking over your shoulder is not always a wary gesture
A memory in the making: an embarassment in the taking
Avoid the ‘back a bit’ gag when facing genuine jeopardy

excellent metatography
100 years ago, smiling at the camera was considered frivolous, undignified.
Now, if you don't smile, what's the matter with you?!
