All that we try to conceal, the lens sets free
I hope that is more poetry than it is fact
Because I am worried what my photo says about me
Some people make the camera smile
Others make it wince or cry
I am the latter; I cannot take a good shot
Can't give you the reason; I don't know why
It has been offered that my hair is the culprit
Others say it's my Charlie Brown face
All I know is that my family is photogenic
So portraits with them is not a moment to embrace
I guess there is not much I can do
My pictures do provide a frequent grin
I am grateful there is Photoshop to fix some flaws
And the camera world is grateful I am not a twin
Don't feel badly about my unphotogenic traits
I have figured out a permanent solution
I am going to hire a stand in for special events
So I don't have to fret any photo distribution

Post a CommentI don't like my picture taken either.
I don't take pictures of myself, I never feel comfortable in a picture
I think you look darn cute!
I'm with ya Donna. Hate having my pic taken.
Love it! BTW they have a statue of Joe Pa at Penn State? I thought he was already a statue that they brought out and stood on the sidelines during games?
The driver's license pictures are always the worst!
I'm happy that your picture is bigger. Now we can see how pretty you are..:)
Donna, none of us are every happy with our pictures! Don't fret, you are a babe!
It must be your vision problem! You look great in your avatar picture and I bet you did in the other 29 as well! I, on the other hand, don't take a very good picture and MUCH prefer to be on the other side of the camera!
I feel your pain. We don't look like that...do we?
