oh, even at the driver's license office here they make you smile. Except in all of mine I look like a mug short or drug addict or something... I think they use the same camera as a mug shot camera.

Yes, I hated that as a kid. Once it took the photography 30 minutes to get me to smile.... blah.... I was smiling! just not the way they wanted me to.

But my senior year photos, which were my favorite ones, I didn't smile in any of them. Just that blank face I always make, or "zombie face" as my husband calls me sometimes. But, the photographer was a good one and posed me thoughtfully, so it doesn't stand out. But I look normal in those photos.
