Hearing Paradise City -- Guns N' Roses
Okay, now, this Monday Photo Shoot requires some explanation. See, over the weekend I was fiddling around with the Web cam on my new laptop, and I quite unexpectedly took what I think is the single worst picture of myself that I have ever taken in my life. It's so bad, in fact, that I find it inexplicably compelling. And it made me wonder if others have taken pictures of themselves or had pictures taken, and seen the photo and said "Oh, I so do not look like that." So:
Your Monday Photo Shoot: Show off a truly bad picture of yourself. One that's so bad it's not actually embarrassing, just, you know, inexplicably unrepresentative. If you would like, post a contrasting good picture, so people know what you really look like.
This is the awful, awful picture of myself I took over the weekend:
After I took this picture, I just started at it for a minute or two. And then I busted up. Because, yeah, that's not too much like what I look like in the real world. As a contrast, a picture of myself I took last night:
See, that's more like it. The previous picture has a combination of various things going on in it to make me look less than attractive, including the fact that it highlights both my relatively weak chin and relatively chubby neck (it's always been sort of thick, even when I'm thin), and of course the crossed eye and sneer don't help much, either. I know some large people who are rather quite attractive, but it does not appear that I would be fated to be one of them.
So there you are: A truly bad picture of me. I hope you enjoyed it.
Now, it's your turn: Dig up that comically bad photo of yourself (or, heck, make one) and then post it in your blog or journal. Then come back here and leave a link! Let's have some fun letting the camera capture our bad sides. Yes, it takes a strong ego to say "hey, look at this awful picture of me," but I think we're all secure in our own fabulousness. I think you're fabulous, in any event. Really.
