Awkward Pictures

Danika and Emily challenged bloggers to post pictures on Friday. I was busy yesterday and so I didn't get around to uploading mine. Today I'm no less busy but I feel like procrastinating and so here you are:

Emily wanted pictures from an "awkward" phase:

When I was little I was very crosseyed. I had eye surgery when I was two, wore a patch for a long time and later upgraded to glasses. I didn't need the glasses for my vision but apparently they help straighten out crossed eyes.

Baby clothes were less cute in the 80's.



Don't I look smart? NOT!

What's more awkward than a bathtub picture?

I experienced another "awkward" stage that started in Junior High and continues to this day. Here are all of the recent pictures I could find of myself. They're are not very many.

Cut from the background of another picture.
It turned out blurry when uploaded for some reason.

A '"Hey Matthew!" Click.' picture.
Again it's grainy. Grr.


This pic was taken a few days ago.
My whole family conspired to make me smile.
Apparently, they didn't want me to submit my "mugshot" to the scholarship selection board.

I'm generally not opposed to smiling and I think I grin as often as anyone. However, whenever a camera is present all the joy is sucked out of my facial expression. Must be the awkward phase.

Awesome! Thanks for posting! I think your baby pictures are too cute. And I know what you mean about the whole happiness leaving when a camera comes into play. My Mom is always yelling at me to not run away from the camera...

Well, if it's an awkward phase, I share in it and I'm 41 years old. I don't much care for cameras and I really don't like having my picture taken.

The pictures are very nice -:)

Aw, nice pictures.

And I know how it is with little brothers who have trippy happy fingers. Grr.

You really should smile more often. It's a nice genuine smile. And I have the opposite problem. I paste on the same smile every time I see a camera. According to all the pictures, I've spent my life walking around with a big silly grin.

I know what you mean about smiling in front of cameras, the minute someone breaks one out I want to dive and take cover.
