I got my 1st Drivers License in Idaho at the ripe old age of 16. My picture wasn't too bad. It was nothing to brag about, but I had seen much worse so I was content. (I'd show you but when you get your license in Hawaii, they take away your old one.)
The 2nd DL I got was in Hawaii when I turned 18. The picture is AWFUL, I know. But they refused to take another picture (even though the only people in the DMV at the time were me and my brother). So I've been stuck with this atrocity for the last 8 years.
This is my 3rd DL. I just got it in the mail today. Apparently I've been cursed by the DL picture gods. I wish the camera at the DMV could be lifted up just a bit so that it wouldn't point directly at my double chin. Or better yet, we should be able to bring in our own pictures for them to use. But alas, I'm stuck with this for the next 5 years :(P.S. Believe it or not, I was actually tanner in the Hawaii pic than the Utah pic (which leads me to believe that they do some sort of color alteration to the cameras so that the tan people in Hawaii don't just look like dark blobs and the white people in Utah don't just look like white blobs when the flash goes off).

3rd time's not a charm
