My work photo makes me look like a terrorist. They took it from about 5 feet, with a flash, against a white wall. Death the American cameras!

And now they tell you to not smile for your passport photo. I used to dislike my passport photo, and now I hate it.

Should have left the kids at home. The photo would probably still be bad though. Just like the drivers license photo. :(

All of those photos make you look like a terrorist. I will never forget a friend of mine showing us her new drivers’ license picture and saying, “Hit lady for the mob!” LOL

Not quite true – There was a period of time you had to be outside of the US and then all money earned was NOT taxed by the US government (but you might have to pay in the country where you earned it).I think it is(or was)18 mo.

In my previous passport, my photo looked like death warmed over, reminding me of a joke by comedian Erma Bombeck, “If you look like your passport photo, you’re not well enough to travel.”
