There are people who just do not take a good photo, and I am one
of them. I've had three photos over the years under my profile that appears to your right. The first photo, if you remember, was what looked like a wet dog
sitting on a wooden bridge over a creek. Unfortunately that was me....I
just looked like a wet dog in the photo. The second photo that I tried
was me standing on a sandy beach. The face in the photo appeared grainy.
It wasn't the camera's fault...my photographed face just tends to look
grainy. The third and present photo to your right may look somewhat
normal for a sixty-six year old man. I was eighteen when it was taken!
Many people just do not photograph well. Woody Allen is one. He is a very handsome man in person and resembles Robert Redford a little bit, but look at all the photographs of him! Hillary Clinton is another.....to look at any of her photographs one would think that she just crawled from under a coal truck. Her eyes appear no more human than a Macy's mannequin, her smile as a humanoid robot, her mouth as a bottomless pit, her skin as Vladimir Lenin's in his mausoleum. Every time I see a picture of her I think of Madame Tussuad's Wax Museum...but actually in person she is a very beautiful lady! This phenomenon works the opposite way also. Some people never take a bad picture. Anthony Weiner for one.
I've tried very hard to find a decent picture of myself to put on this page. My driver license looks like I was hauled in for drunken driving and faceprinted instead of fingerprinted. I've tried every angle. A side silhouette looks like Alfred Hitchcock with a beard. I don't even take a good portrait! My mother was an accomplished oil painter. I've added her portrait of me below. The only reason I have not run for Congress is that who is going to vote for someone whose photographs look like they should be on America's Most Wanted? Hmmm, a lot of people are going to vote for Hillary!
