The guy was like "No teeth and we have to see your ears." As a person
who prides herself on knowing how to take a good photo, these
restrictions were painful, but I managed. Also: As it turns out, my
ears lay flat against my head so they're not really visible.

Good to know those are the new parameters since I have to renew my passport ASAP.....odd though, I'm not sure how making sure your ears are showing is relevant
ReplyDeletewhat?!? I've never been told no teeth and we have to see your ears! is that some sort of new requirement now??
ReplyDeleteyou take GREAT pics Elizabeth :) where are you going?
Those are some fabulous passport photos! I am so jealous. My passport makes me look colorless and slightly deranged.
ReplyDeleteThank you, ladies! My mother was less enthusiastic about the attractiveness of the girl in these pictures. THANKS MOM!
ReplyDeleteThe guy said that he's had some rejected for having too much hair in the face and that he was told that being able to see the ears is a good measure of whether or not they can see enough of your face and the teeth thing is because the teeth throw off the biometric scanners or something.
He ALSO said that I had to keep a "neutral expression" and we had a whole conversation about how DUDE FOR REALS, my "neutral expression" IS NOT PRETTY and that I COULD NOT POSSIBLY commit to ten years of a "neutral expression" in my passport photo!
He was a kick in the pants though and was kind enough to change cameras and flashes when I HATED the first picture WITH THE WHITE HOT INTENSITY OF A THOUSAND SUNS. Anyone in need of new passport photos should go see my friends here:

And Bree, I have very exotic travel plans: CANADA! It's a kick though because back in 2000 I drove to Canada with my homies and we had to BEG them to stamp our passports for us and when they finally obliged, they wrote "courtesy" under the stamp.
No teeth and we have to see your ears?! That guy sounds like a creeper, I have never heard of that
