Say Cheese!
After referring to the government's website guidelines to taking passport photos, I discovered that ever since 9/11, they do not allow smiles in photos. In their words, the subjects should have a "neutral" expression. Try telling that to a lively three year old. Here's my attempt to get my son to pose.
Me: Okey, here we go. Let's try to get this photo, anak. Please DON'T smile. I said close your mouth!
Me: That's much better but you're still smiling!
Me: Oh!!! I'm sorry the flash bothers you.
Me: Much much better. Just try to look at the camera.
Me: Perfect! Good job.
Me: Okey, here we go. Let's try to get this photo, anak. Please DON'T smile. I said close your mouth!
Me: That's much better but you're still smiling!
Me: Oh honey. Please don't frown!
Me: Oh!!! I'm sorry the flash bothers you.
Me: Much much better. Just try to look at the camera.
Me: Perfect! Good job.
