This is a rare thing: Me with a smile!

This is a pic taken of me in June when we honoured our film pioneers in Bloemfontein ~ a photographer sent it to me and it is a rare thing for me to smile when a picture is taken.

I think I should submit it for my next passport photo.

Either that, or I should chuck darts at it: what do you think?

Much better, but are you allowed to smile on passports photos nowadays?

I don't think so, circus. I think the unwritten law of passport photos (and I do have to renew mine soon) is that you must look like you need a holiday in order to use the passport.

I hate posing for pictures because I don't think I'm particularly photogenic and I feel uncomfortable smiling on queue. This apprehension is probably why the pictures turn out bad.

You can check out my horrible work pic here (the gray hair is only prominent due to it's short length): http://personnel.uaex.edu/images/ERWIN.EDWIN.917.1.JPG

Good looking pic there Trevor, you definitely look more laid back.

My smile is always forced...

Thanks, Cap'n Trek: your picture is nice too, but your avatar cracks me up.

What is our beloved J. T. Kirk doing there?

Your smiling! And your face didn't shatter and your ears didn't fall off! Good deal!

Sadly...I find little to smile about latley....but it happens occasionally....

here I am the day I was expelled from the Jesuits....

Whoa, , I didn't think that picture really was YOU, , I though it was capped from some cheesy b-horror flick, probably something RC likes.

Anyways, , let the photoshopping begin!

Is this guy related?

( I kid! I KID!)

I'm guessing your underpants must have just arrived when the pic was taken.

That picture is from the James T. Kirk Macarena Page If you think one is funny, wait until you see multiples doing it.

Thanks for the cool poster Circus_Circus

I rarely smile myself. I didn't smile for my drivers license nor did I smile for my passport. The only thing rarer than me smiling in a picture or smiling in general is going on a date but that is a different story.

I'm also terrible in pictures, my camera smile always looks fake so my picture faces are basically: jerk, retard, that dumb kid who thought it it would be funny to make a face like a jacka$$
