I'm Passport Old
So, my girlfriend and I are scheduled to visit Japan in April, which means I had to update my passport. And oh my shit what a difference 14 years makes.
1992 passport photo:
2006 passport photo:
*sigh*
UPDATE: I just realized that I accidently had the original 1992 picture flipped incorrectly. I just now recified the error. I'm sure NOW you can see the resemblance between the two pictures. Right? Right?

Honestly, I was pretty surprised I didn't get a call or something from the passport folks for verification. So much for Homeland Security, I guess.

So... in 14 years you forgot how to smile?

Geez Ryan! Will you please WARN us before posting more pictures of your ass???
Oh... wait.
Nevermind.

Of course, now that I think about it, your girlfriend's, "No way," reaction suggests that the second picture is, in fact, representative of your usual facial expression these days.
I find this thought... disturbing. On many levels.
Posted by: Joshua at March 21, 2006 02:38 PMAny discomfort emanating from the second picture likely stems from the fact that I HATE having my picture taken, particularly straight on head shots. I don't think I look all that surprised, but that eagle wing over my fucking eye has the effect, I think, of making me look more wide-eyed or something.
Plus, the picture was taken the same day I flew to Seattle, so I was probably thinking of you, Joshua.
