Don't smile!

No, really: You're not allowed to smile. Not on official identification-items such as passports and identity cards.
My old identity card was out of date and so I had to make a new one. And of course it's not enough to just ask for a new one - you have to go to the photographer's to make new pictures on which you don't smile.
Mine looks like this:

I thought there's much more potention in this little picture of which I got eight pieces on paper. So I scanned it into the computer and played around a bit.

As if the fake smile wasn't bad enough. Horrible, isn't it? I'll stick to the first one - and that's what I got on my identification card as well. Otherwise I might not be able to leave the country anymore. Let's see it once more. Or twice...
