If I were brave (and on this, I'm not going to be), I would show you my brand new driver's license photo.
But you'll just have to miss feasting your eyes on my, er, striking image. I don't think I have ever taken a good photo for my DL. In fact, I swear they fiddle with those dumb cameras to make sure that everyone looks bad. I also wasn't too happy with the cost - $24! Sheesh. I could have bought a couple books for that.
I guess I should just be thankful that I didn't get any tickets between now and the last time I renewed my license, otherwise I would have had to take the written test. As it was, I just had to stick my head in the little viewer and read off a bunch of numbers. Passed with flying colors. Ha!
Have you ever had a good driver's license photo? If you have, you're one of the proud few!

Living in the Land of "I Don't Wanna"
I'm currently at war with myself. The "you should be..." committee is fighting with the "I don't wanna" committ...
Uhh...NO!!!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm only on my third photo. This one's pretty bad. It was a gazillion degrees outside and I'm sure I was sweating like a racehorse for it. Thank goodness its blurry.
I've never had a good one, in fact, I'm not sure I know anyone who has.
ReplyDeleteMine is 8 years old! I was able to renew online so they didn't retake it but should have I think. Hated my glasses! I don't wear any now.
ReplyDeleteMine is awful, Lurch-ish bad.
ReplyDeleteActually, believe it or not, my NE drivers license photo was REALLY GOOD! It was the one and only time I had ever had a decent photo. I just got my new KS license, though, and it is not good.
ReplyDeleteI had ONE good license photo. Alas, they do not last forever. And I get older. *Sigh*
ReplyDeleteIt's terrible! And you're right, only I think there's a little troll inside the camera that messes with it!
ReplyDeleteThe only decent one I took was when I was 21. Other than that, they were all bad.
ReplyDeleteThey only start looking good ten years later, like passports.
ReplyDeleteI avoid looking at the DL as much as I do the mirror.
ReplyDeleteI had two really good ones, both of which have now gone :( My last good one was the first one for my BC license, but I had to give it up a few months ago. They've now changed the rules so we can NOT smile - must stare straight ahead and be completely expressionless. Imagine what kinds of photos that produces!!!
ReplyDeleteAt least yours only cost $24. Ours cost closer to $50, IIRC!!
Amazingly enough, my last one actually came out decent. My hair was super short and I smiled okay and it didn't suck! I was completely shocked, because the ones before that... oy. Definitely a gremlin in their cameras!
