How to keep your eyes on the camera!

Eyes on the camera. Photo by Angela Lansbury. Copyright

Should you look at the camera or not? it could be argued that it is more natural to look away.

However, when taking photo of a group, it often looks odd if one person looks away. once solution is to stick a coloured dot next to the camera lens, for example in a laptop. Another solution is two dots, one either side. I heard the person advising this say, keep both eyes on the lens. So I drew two eyes. I find the eyes even more effective than dots.

Polyglot Poem by Angela Lansbury

Polyglot Poem by Angela Lansbury

I wish I were a polyglot
So many languages, a lot
I wish I'd learned two in my cot
It's best to start when you're a tot

I sit at home, I am a swot
I start a new one, keen and hot
Learned yes and no
But not yet not

I've learned each alphabet and dot
I learned a lot, but I forgot
Don't tell me I have lost the plot
One day I'll be a polyglot!

I really hope that you agree
It's good to know 'oui', and, 'Si, si!'
To roll an r, say three, not tree
Come, be a polyglot with me!
