December 12 2008:
Renewal

Knaphill

My driving licence had to be renewed today – we have to renew every ten years with a new picture. When I went into the photobooth all four photos were “non-compliant” because I was not sitting far enough back in the seat – duh! Hence the four extra pictures of me…

This makes for an interesting image, Ray. Cool DOF and processing. I like it.

Didn't you get one of those machines that tell you when a picture is compliant? I had one when I took the pictures for my visa application for Armenia, I managed to sneak in a smirk though ;-)

Oh how annoying...hope you didn't have to pay extra! Can you not smile for driving licence shots then? I had a heck of a job stopping my daughter going "CHEESE" for her passport pic...!!

Rules, rules, rules for these identity photos! You can't even have a glimmer of a smile in them, you have to look zombie-like into the lens... They try to rob us of our personality!

Much better! Hey cuddleface :)))

Smiling is optional!? LOL....great "mug shots"!
