Throughout the years, I’ve taken so many passport pictures that ended up not being used.
The reason why I’ve kept them is because I can be constantly reminded how not to smile, do hair etc when taking the all-important passport pictures.
What I’m going to do here is post some of my worst passport pictures and it took me a long time to summon up enough courage to do this :P You’re in luck because I had nothing to blog about.
#1 – Don’t do it right after work
I remember taking this after work. It was my very first job and I don’t think I adapted very well to the working world. You can totally see it on my face, hahaha.
#2 – Don’t do it right after Mom cut your fringe
Err…self-explanatory.
#3 – Don’t do it after bouts of teenage bulimia.
Bulimia causes lymph nodes and abdomen to swell up. So you’d end up looking fatter than you really are. Healthy diet and exercise is the way to go.
Of course, the best way to take passport pictures is to take your own. Thank goodness for digital camera and Photoshop. You could take it over and over again till you get it right. No blue background? Just replace the colour. Zits? Clone it out.
I’m keeping this one for years to come.
Wow! That’s brave of you to put up your passport pics! I’d never do it :P
Yup, that first pic is scary. If I met that photo in a back alley, I would run for my life! Haha. Hey that last passport pic … they let you take your own and photoshop it for your passport!? We’d be charged with forgery if we did that here.
I’m not too fuzzy about my passport pic. As long as it looks like me. LOL.
hehehe.. rules say you must use a different photo for passport renewal lah…
But the last pic is as scary as the first few.
lol I think IC’s have even worst pictures – due to the haphazard ‘on the spot’ pictures XD My MyKad: I look like a Mongolian Gangsta.
LOL @try.
I think there’s a marked improvement over the years though
pb: i was desperate lol
yum: oh..i didn’t know that…better makeup 99 when i renew my passport.
simon: true that haha
suertes: shitz
try: yeah, u can only do so much.
nick: LMAOOOOOOOOOO
ky: that’s the nicest thing u’ve said to me in months!
haha! i think the one with the school badge is the best… i dare u to put tat in ur passport…
hey it is a good idea to take pics on our own! can redo redo redo till we are satisfied.
12 years ago i went to a shop in USA, ask them to do me a passport photo, they didn’t understand a shit i say. because since then they already do instant digital photo.
Wow that’s brave of you! I always hate my international passport pics (no one’s seeing them ever!) because of all the requirements: your both ears have to show, as well as most of your forehead.
LOL your passport pics look wayyyyyyyy better than mine…
at least you have the guts to put em’ up here. Chapeau!
hehe =D
or get your boo to take the pic :P
