It's a huge cliche, but I really learned today just how often bad pictures happen when they're taken by someone who just doesn't care. My new NY Drivers' License came in the mail today, and while I knew that it would be bad, I didn't expect this. I'm an organ donor, but who would want organs from this:



So, don't leave me out in the cold - post your awful ID pics. Please?

Heh, the picture I had taken for my learning permit was only moderately bad looking; in the picture, I appear as if I want to stab someone... but I'm looking sexy while doing so.

So, when I got my real license and was asked if I wanted to have a new picture taken or just use the same one used on my permit, I decided to be content with the moderately bad picture rather than gamble with getting an awful one.

Unfortunately, I have no scanner at my disposal, else I'd share too.

It's not THAT bad, I mean, it looks like they might've actually warned you before they took the picture. I don't think they do that here. I won't post mine because my self-esteem is kaput, but I can describe it: Red hair up in a ponytail (my hair was dyed at the time) that captures the lighting in the most horrifying way, uneven eyeliner 'cause I had no time to fix it, and eyes that scream "FEEEEED MEEEE BRAAAAAAAINSSSS!!!" Truly the scariest picture of myself I've ever seen.

I'd post mine, but I:

(a) hate the way I look
(b) hate the way I look in my DL pic
© don't look nearly the same with my hair grown out and down now than when I did a couple years back when I took it
(d) hate the way the forums don't like option C

So, I COULD post it, but it doesn't really look like me now. :-/ You'd be getting a very bad idea of what I actually look like, and it's also not really that horrible, anyway... just, kinda like a mug shot...

That's okay, you should have seen my school picture this year. It looked like I was smelling something bad. Not to mention I was having terrible acne when I took it.
I'm glad that I don't have a scanner, because it gives me an excuse not to show it.

Anyways, you're picture wouldn't be half-bad if it weren't for your hair sticking up all over the place.

I think that is sort of the reason behind this topic. Josh really doesn't like his pic and his wife was even making fun of him because of it(I'm sure there were other things too, as it's very easy to do). My pic is very bad, I kinda look like a skinhead because I got mine replaced right after I shaved my head, but I plan on posting it around lunch tomorrow when I can use the scanner at work for my own evil designs.

I was thinking goth. Not like I know anything about Ranger though. For all I know he could be.

But yeah thats a pretty bad pic. Despite how much I hate the way I look, I'll post a pic of myself so as not to leave you hanging.



I had to wait like an hour before they finally called my number, so this is me getting up from an uncomfortable nap. Plus the lighting is bad. So...uh...I blame the photographer.


NOTE:
I'm having problems viewing images posted in the forums. I'm working on it but I'm not sure what is wrong. Currently I can view the image posted by Ranger but I can't view the one I posted (go figure). Anyway let me know if you can see the image I posted.

Seriously, thoughm I'd post, but I lost my student ID. To give you an idea of how bad it is, when I first saw it I thought they'd mixed up a picture of me with one of some random girl. Who looked a rat.

As promised here is my drivers license picture. My previous one was actually a pretty good picture of me, this one...well I'm sorry if your monitor ceases to function after viewing.

Ok, you know those eye tests that they make you take at the DMV? The ones where you have to put your forehead against the strip to make the images appear, then read what you see? Well, i pushed too hard. Red blotches on forehead ensue.



Next up we have my most recent..... which is a few years old. I give you my skinhead look.



My money says that nobody can look as lame in an ID pic as Hammy can.

I'll post my permit tomorrow (Soup and Hanyou are pestering me) since it's pretty late at the moment.

This is very against my will, but since Rangers51 has the ability to get me into "situations" I'm doing this. For the sake of the one person that has seen a recent picture of me... This DL was taken in 2001.

I think I look terrible in general, but IDs make me look worse too.

This is from my Student ID card at the University at Buffalo. The picture was taken in August 2002. I can't say anything other than ugh, really.



This one is a bit older. It's from my NYS Driver's License. It was taken back when I first got my permit in April of 2000. I won't have this one much longer though since I'll be turning 21 in about two months. I think I hate this one slightly less than the one above.




And for comparison, here's a more "normal" picture (with me being the one in the center with the goatee):

and a comedy 20 year old guy playing with My Little Ponies picture:

http://img76.exs.cx/img76/3702/pony7al.jpg

They were both taken back in September.

Taken a day when I was going to get my driver's license but, alas!, my permit was expired so I had to get a new one.

Haha my mom was more pissed off about it being expired than I was.

Bleh, I hate my second pic.



I went from okay to 'tomato' in my photo.



I keep my old one in front of my new one....

Hey Kame.... I have an idea. I remember you made this sweet pic a while back with members of the CoN in it....

Think it would be possible to do that again, based on what you see in this thread? That would so totally rock. I can pay you?

I rock so hard.
I think I'll put my drivers license photo as my hot or not picture.
Seriously.



What I hated about having my license picture taken, is she refused to let me... NOT smile. She made me smile, and I looked like a total idiot in the two pictures she took.
She was all like...'Which one of these lovely pictures would you want to use?"
Me: ' How about the one where I'm grinning like a buffoon?'
Her: Nice choice!
Me: -.-;;;
I'm excited though! The weight is SO off by 15 pounds now.
HUZZAH!
I have another school id, but in compensation since I lost it, have my work badge.

Since my license pic is bad enough to make you lose everything you ever ate, here's a regular bad-quality pic taken without my discretion -- that's almost the same thing -- to give you some kinda idea. Hey, I still look all pale and horrible here, too! Sadly, it's one of the best I have: Click, I dare you.
