PICTURE POST II!

Those are fantastic shots of the Big Apple.

 

Fantastic photos. I love especially love the one of the woman in the red coat.

Wall-E! Eeeeeeeeeee!

 

Ancient_Mariner, you have real talent. That shot of the woman in the red coat is museum quality.

 

I was at a party last night, and the table runner was a big sheet of paper for writing/drawing. So my friend hands me a marker and says, "Draw a picture of me riding Falcor."

And then I did...

 

That is extremely awesome, good sir.

 

Beautiful perspective on the last one.

 

You can tell..

So cute

That is her serious face. She is serious.

 

Hee, my kids did the same when they were little. They all looked as if they ate nails for breakfast.

 

Passport photos should have more people - both kids and adults - giving the camera The Rock's "People's Eyebrow." That way certain countries will know you mean business from the moment you step onto their territory.

 

I can sort of do that with my left eyebrow, and wish I had on my most recent passport photo. The Dutch passport photos are black and white and all hair has to be off your face, so I had to scrape my fringe/bangs back. It's easily the worst passport photo I've ever had. I look 70 and as if I'd been sleeping rough the night before. I find the fact that the last time I flew back into Britain the passport facial recognition system worked disturbing seeing how awful the photo is.

 

These days it seems as if more than 90% of passport, photo ID and driver's license photographs make the owner look like an insomniac who just got back from a major bank robbery. No matter how I try to have great photos they're at best just satisfactory and probably always will be not much more than ”meh.”

 

Well, that IS the way most people look after getting off of a flight, so it's probably how the pictures should be.

 

Good point.

 

That's how I consoled myself. It was a red-eye flight so I did indeed look like an extra from The Walking Dead.

 

I don't get why these things annoy people who don't have them.

 

We were recently at DisneyWorld and the Selfie Sticks were everywhere. I thought they were cool, made it real easy for families to get pictures all together in front of things.
