I went to Wolf Photo to get some passport photos taken just now.
I was unaware, but the woman who took my photo1 said you’re not allowed to smile in a passport photo. I tend not to smile for posed photos anyway because I just have trouble doing it.
I wonder why that rule exists.
Afterwards (and because apparently I hate myself), I stopped by a fast food chain to grab a quick lunch. Both the person who took my money and the person who gave me my food said “See you tomorrow!”
Presumptuous!

1 who, for no reason I can put my finger on, reminded me of
How odd. I am grinning like a jackass eating briars in my passport picture.
So, there we go. Despite her qualities, that lady was just wrong.
I’m also smiling in my passport photo. Maybe it’s a post-9/11 rule? They want us all to look like terrorists….
I’m smiling in my passport photo, too. In fact, I quite like my passport photo. I think that lady was just talking out of her butt.
It’s an odd thing to think, isn’t it? I can’t imagine where she picked that up.
I am smiling in my passport photo as well. Probably b/c I was getting married a few weeks later and was really skinny for the last time ever. I was so happy with the photo that I won’t update my passport to reflect my current name b/c I don’t want to have to take another photo. I suppose that’s vain, but if there really is a no smiling rule now, I will stand my course! Haha.

That’s fairly defeatist, isn’t it? With all these FHSers around you running marathons?
I’m hoping to get down to my “passport weight”, with inspiration from all those athletes we know.
