This makes me think of a sad experience I had with photos. I was at a Halloween party, it was dark, my friends and I were at the club. Most of the rest were light-skinned. Myself, my boyfriend, and another woman were darker-skinned. A photographer for the club came around to take photos of everyone. When he came to me and the darker-skinned girl, he literally held the camera up, and pretended to snap the picture. He didn't even try!
