This was the first of the passport photos taken. I was pretty happy with this one; it looks like me being happy an
d alert. It's overexposed.This one had to be redone because of the eyes.
Again with the eyes being a problem.
This one was my favorite. I went to my INS appointment happy to have this as my official face for the duration of my permanent residency. But, alas, it was not to be. I look a little too happy. Which leads us to the final photo ...
Yucko. Note the bulging eyes that scream, "My thyroid is having a field-day! Look what situational stress can do to a face!" Rob says it doesn't look that bad. He says I just look a little disgruntled. But he gets paid to say things like that.
When I become a US citizen, my passport photo will be smashing. I will bathe in asses' milk and take valerian for a week before the photo. I will also practice smiling with my mouth closed and eyes open.
You look like a native woman, maybe Sacigawea or Pocahontas.
ReplyDeleteThe third one looks pretty scary. Can you imagine that as your ID photo?
True ... if anyone gave my ID photos a good look, they'd realize that they should be asking me for the right to live freely on this continent. [grin]
ReplyDeleteYeah, the third picture. I did have a moment of trepidation when that one was taken as the reason for retaking the one immediately before it was "eyes closed". I could imagine them saying, "Well, eyes are open ... got what you asked for! Pbth!" But they were cool and redid.
