So, who here likes their driver's license picture. My husband in in the AF and I had to get a new ID today. I cried for like 30 minutes after I got home b/c the picture is so horrible. I don't look like that in the mirror so why does my pic look so horrible? Ah, it's so frustrating. The camera waw below eye level so I was looking down at the stupid thing. I always hate those pictures. I am a pretty photogenic person but what happens at the DMV and other photo ID places? I think they do this on purpose to make you look your worst. LOL! Anyway, how pathetic am I today, huh?

I also experienced that. When the sytem in Drivers' License Application or Renewal here in our country is not yet automated, it takes about a month before you can claim it. It was the day when I should claim my DL card. I came early so that I will be served first and can still go to the office on time. My hair is still wet and is undone. When my name was called, I went to the claim window but found out that something happened to my card and that they will have to take mypicture again. So they let me in and took my picture...my hair was dripping wet, I have no makeup and my eyes still a bit puffy. Imagine how I look on the picture . It was so ugly that I hide it in my wallet for two years.

Cheer up, nobody looks good in DMV pictures. I think they get special training on how to take the worst pictures on the planet. And most of them are really good at that. Probably the same school doctors go to to learn how to write illegibly. People never expect to see a good picture from those things.

Awww. I really think they do something to the cameras at DEERS. When my ex was in I dread going in to get my picture taken. I knew it was going to look horrible. At one point I had get a new drivers license and Military ID in the same week. The DMV picture came out better!
