I've had occasion to have both myself and my son photographed for official purposes, recently. Really no comparing the results.

I guess there's a morale in there like "Love yourself and your family and don't go drinking お酒 with your friends." But, ah, who'd I be to trot that out.

P.S. Yes, I'd ridden my bike to the driver's license place with no helmet, and yes I've since had a haircut. Funny enough, Kenny's photo was more or less an action shot .. he refused to sit still for the photographer and happened to hold a usable pose for a fraction of a second while the photog blasted away..

rand()m quote

Society is indeed a contract... [the state] is a partnership in all science; a partnership in all art; a partnership in every virtue, and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born.

—Edmund Burke
