Passport pic= GAH!!!!

[TwoThree]

My passport picture is nice. Maybe, unlike most of you, I don't have any delusions about how great I look


I'm joking, in case anyone gets offended.

I don't know any1 who is happy with his/her passprt pic...

mine is pretty horrendous too! ^_^

[Benni]

Wow! This generated a lot of feedback! Well, I don't feel so bad now. I'm just one of the crowd! Thanks ya'll!

[Pixel]

Don't worry, mine is awful too!

[Malaga]

I look like a Russian spy in a very low budget film.

[Xanahtas]

Haha, mine is terrible... Like, im so pale and im pulling this awkward face, i look like a crack head and it looks nothing like me! Luckily, i have to get a new one end of this year

Oh I -hate- those photo booths here! I got some done a while back and the damn thing wasn't working so when it said to tap the screen when you want to take the photo I tapped it and the screen was blank, so I kept tapping it trying to figure out what was going on and all of a sudden it clicked and took the photo but did it give me a chance to take it again ohhh no, it just spat out the first one it took so I ended up with four photos coming out of me looking like I was about to punch the screen XD
The last time I had it done I got in it and the seat wouldn't spin down far enough so I had to kind of stand at a really awkward angle to get into the picture and then when I did it did take it four times but they were all crap so in the end I just had to pick the best of a bad bunch really, then it printed and I thought there's no way I'm sending that haha so getting them done again this week, at £5 a time these next ones better be damn good. (Or at least decent enough to have me not locked in a nuthouse!)

I hated my passport pic, but after I've had to have several different sets of ID pics taken here in China, I actually prefer my passport picture. (When you think you possibly can't look worse in a photo, trust me, you can. lol)

I actually really like my US passport picture. I was 17 at the time so maybe that plays a role. Or maybe I just got really lucky. The one for my UK railcard where I used one of the booths came out not so pretty though. Maybe it's the not smiling thing that makes the difference.

[aomnomnom]

mine is quite awful too. i was having a bad hair day and couldnt decide which part i wanted to go by hehe. i was actuall considering getting a new passport but figured it'be too complicated since my US visa is on there lol

[Alle1770]

Haha, my passport photo is pretty much a disaster as well... Thank god I have to get a new one in a year anyway, hopefully it'll turn out better :O xD

[flugelhorn]

Aha, I am loving everyone's stories!

I've had 3 passpots. I actually don't mind my current passport photo, I just look neutral. I had my 2nd passport photos taken after my last exam of high school & I just look exhausted & one eye is more open than the other. I got my very first passport when I was 12 & 'back then' you could smile in passport photos & I still look quite young & cute (I hadn't hit the awkward pre-teen phase yet).

I used to take passport photos when I worked in a photography store so I've seen alll sorts! Babies were the hardest but I became such a pro by the end.

I know this is an old topic but this made me laugh. I was supposed to visit England in 2011 so I got a passport photo taken but had to cancel the trip due to a relative being ill at the time. During the time I took the passport photo, I had a huge mint in my mouth and I was half asleep. That resulted in one of my cheeks looking incredibly gigantic and my eyes looking all weird! I seriously hate my passport photo and but didn't have the opportunity to use it just yet. I can't wait for the day I do so everyone can see it! *sarcasm*

[Benni]

Haha! I'm surprised whoever took the photo let you pose like that!
