When you see a picture of yourself . . .

[PLFXpert 0]

A little bit related, but off-topic.

When I'm getting ready to go out I can see the TV in the mirror so everything is technically backward but looks the same unless the scene is of someone driving.

I've often laughed when I see a commercial or something that I've seen before but it looks completely different--b/c I saw it the first few times in the mirror.

Hey, Carrie - you have an extra "for" in your sig line.

The mods...I know it was them...

Which one of you....

Andrea! Andrea I know where you'll be in two weeks and I'll be waiting. Oh yes. I'll be waiting.

Notice mirrored pic below.

Either way that one eye looks f'd up and my bare eyes do not stand out like my friend's lined/mascara eyes do.

I can see the difference though.

I could also get a much cleaner (and lighter) image with a higher resolution file to start with.

The photo was taken w/ a camera phone.

What photo editor?

Corel Photo Album.

Came with my Dell, and then I purchased it.

You might be right--I haven't played much with it, but that's definitely not one of the options on the main tool bar.

It really depends on the picture... I love some pics of me, but in others I look like I'm on drugs

I solved that by staying behind the camera, as the one taking the shots.

I have to go with all of the above. I have looked much better, about the same and much worse in my pictures.

I've always hated to have my picture taken. I often feel uncomfortable about it, but I let people take the pics, anyway. After my best friend of over ten years passed away, and I had very few pics of us (because neither one of us were comfortable having our pics taken), I decided that it's better to have pictures, than not. Also, maybe that is just the way that I really look, and I am unaware of my true unattractiveness or true beauty, depending on which pics I look at.

Speaking of photos---I LOVE the new avatar!

I don't like most of my pictures. My nose looks huge in pictures. But in real life it fits my face and isn't that big at all. : (

I disagree that it's better to have pics than not (but I'm so sorry to hear the news for you).

But, hello? I've only seen your avatar and read your posts and thus I know already you're beautiful.

I completely agree!

Unless I pose correctly and the photo is taken properly.

Thank you, sweetie. About my best friend...I'm ok now, but thank you. It's been many years, since she's passed away. She still lives on in my heart.
