Vanity & a Passport Photo

Tomorrow morning I’m going to the post office to get my picture taken for my passport, and hand over all my papers. Oh, joy. (I have a killer passport holder thanks to a very sweet person who shall remain nameless) I’m wondering how many have good photos for that. I wish I could post my dad’s passport picture. He looks like a goofball, and he cracks up every time he sees it (so do I). My last passport was lost due to an unfortunate incident when my late mom with dementia got ahold of it. I never got it replaced because I thought I wasn’t going out of the country again. However, in September we’re going on a cruise to Canada with the family (my tired self won’t go farther than Mexico or Canada anymore).
Does anyone take good pictures on your IDs? I actually had a couple drivers license photos that were nice. My last one looked like a mug shot though.

I hope that the killer passport holder protects and keeps your passport safe.
I have the passport, which has expired that I had renewed in the summer of 2009.
It was the summer that my Dad passed away.
I think that you can easily see the sadness just by looking at the photo.
They say that looking into someone's eyes are a glimpse into their soul, and my soul felt very sad at that point in my life. The adjustment going from having my Dad alive and in my life physically and knowing that he is enjoying eternity and only in my dreams and memories was a hard adjustment to make.

@AmbiePam The faith allows me to believe that we will meet again, in a better place, where we will all be carefree, and pain/illness free. That is such a rich thought, you must go through that when you think of your grandmother and your sweet mother.

I had a new passport photo taken a few years ago, because I thought I was going to be able to renew my pp immenitely, but it hasn't happened yet. If I am lucky I will have one by the end of the year. My first one has been expired for quite awhile. Good luck on the photo. I had mine done at Costco.

@allknowing Yeah right. With age, mobility issues are indeed a problem.

I think you ahve done enough travelling. Unless its to meet distant relatives or something, there's no point of going through the hassle to renew it.

Don't ask me, since I become an adult I never had a good ID picture. Lol! And my mom will always laugh about it.

My passport photo came out surprisingly good but that was some time ago. My Florida ID looks like I am an inmate in the funny farm. I hope yours came out good,
