Which photograph of yourself do you view as an embarrassment?

This one

Odd you should ask that today. I just came across an A4 low angle photograph of me in shorts posing on the top of some hill. No recollection whatever of the photograph being taken or being printed. Excruciating and now consigned to the trash.

Gracious! Pretty much all of them. The one of my sister, however, takes the cake. After the two older siblings were born and boxes of photos were taken of them, about the only one of my sister as a child is a black and white shot of her head in one of those cut-out stands so that she looks like an astronaut on the moon. The dour expression is priceless.

There is a photograph of me when I grew out a tail (a long, small piece of hair in the back, sorta like a skinny mullet) because I thought they were trendy.

To this day I have always wondered why I did that…

All of them except my senior portrait from college and the pics from my first wedding. Evidently, it takes a lot of make up and a professional photographer to make me look okay.

All of them.
sighs….im not a very photogenic person unfortunatley…

High School Annual of 1962. My hair was long on the sides and a flat top on top.

One ugly photo.

All of them. What I look like inside my head and what I look like on film or two separate things.

Ok, ok… so I was on an elk hunt with my father in the mid 1970’s. Were were just below tree line on a mountain on BLM land just outside of Lake City, Colorado. As anyone who has been on a backpacking hunt like that knows, it is quite physically challenging. This particular trip it wasn’t that cold, but it was also snowing, which is a bad combination because instead of staying frozen the show would melt as it hit you and would make you wet.

So.. I was changing into some dry long johns and asked my dad to take a picture of my bare behind in the snow (as photographic evidence of how hearty I was). So… now as I look through the album my dad has kept up for years of our various trips I am mildly embarrassed to run across that picture of my bare back side standing in a snow bank on top of the mountain side.

Where do I start?
I have alot of them.Actually my sister has alot of them. XD

MIlo here: This. So humilitating.

This is not my best photo.

@gailcalled that photo is set to private, no one else can see it unless you have given them permission.

@erichw1504 Classic!

@erichw1504: MIlo here; is that cute guy one of my relatives?

Humliation open to all, I think.

@erichw1504 aww, cute cat!

Almost all of them.

All of them. That’s why there are no photos of me anywhere. At some point when I was a teenager I took the family photo albums and hid them. I can’t remember where.

It’s those damn pictures the kids take when I first get up. You know…hair disarrayed (sp?), pj’s drooping, and that look on your face when you realize your picture is being taken.

My bare bottom, lying flat out in the tub. I was 4.

There you are @gailcalled! Good to see you!

All of them.

So many of them…

Now, if they were truly horrible, I’d request them deleted off of Facebook or burned or something, in general, that’s not the case. They can be horrible and funny to look back on at the same time (and were most likely the result of a night of alcohol consumption). Photos of me with my tongue out, me actually drinking out of a fifth, me wearing very short shorts, me giving a girl a lapdance, it gets bad… (I’ll let your imagination run wild for those).

Then you have photos of me when I was little, back when the only hairstyle I knew was a horrible bowl-cut, like this vintage photo of me and my siblings (I’m on the far right): http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff293/Onnajanai/lesters1.png?t=1300995411

/facepalm

And of course there are those photos that you’d die if your friends ever saw them: me as little kid naked wearing my dad’s shoes, me sitting on the toilet not long after completing potty training, etc. Those never leave the family photo archives… :P

This one. I don’t remember when it was taken, but it had to have been around 2006 or so, when I was 16. I dunno, really. It was long before I grew into the handsome devil I am today.

Awww! @DominicX that’s so precious;-)
On the other hand I suppose my children are embarrassed of those cute in the bath tub filled with bubbles pictures I took of them.XD

Hee hee hee heeeee!

any of them with me under 18yrs old.

First driver’s license. It was bad.

My driver’s permit was great except for my dad got my height (off by 5”) and weight wrong, I don’t know why he filled out the form. All subsequent driver’s license photos have been pretty good. My passport is not that great, but it’s not awful.

My 7th grade annual portrait is pretty bad. The assistant to the photographer attempted to comb my (thin, fine) hair after I had it positioned as I wanted it. So my hair looks very unkempt and my ears look huge (I grew into my ears, thank goodness) and I have a really gummy, dorky smile. I was a very sensitive and shy child and I recall the photographer kind of embarrassing me to get me to smile (I’ve always thought I looked foolish smiling in photos). And for some reason, I have my purse strap over my shoulder and it’s kind of tugging and folding up part of my blouse so that my blouse looks very messy. I remember crying after I saw the annual photo that year. It did not help that my best friend looked like Christy McNichol and had boys swooning all over her.

I threw that annual away, but some of those individual photos are still floating around in relatives albums.

Thank goodness I caked on the makeup and flipped my hair back and let it fall into waves, then hairsprayed it to within and inch of it’s life (as per recommendations from friends) for my senior photo. Of the 5 photos taken that day, I chose the one in which I am not smiling and I actually look like Veronica Lake. It was a fluke, but a lucky fluke.

Haha any of them where ive had a little drink…I tend to go cross eyed!

Oh so many! There is one of me in an orange, curly wig that I thought it would be fun to stick on while at a theme park, that’s a winner (wtf was I thinkin! I can’t even blame grog). That is just one amongst a myriad where I just look awful.

I had one of my daughter that so sooooooooo gorgeous. She had tied a tea towel around her neck to make a cape and was running around in her red undies being superman. She tore it up!!!! :-( I loved that photo!!!! It was so HER!

Not the worst.

I am deeply ashamed to confess that once I was a short person.

The Christmas after I moved out of my parents home, I took some photos for the Christmas card.
I look at them now, and wish I never took them. The pictures are fine, but they remind me of my first Christmas tree, and how no one saw it but me. I couldn’t talk anyone into coming to my apartment that first Christmas.

Awww @filmfann. So sad :-( Still, it was your FIRST apartment and your FIRST Christmas tree that you bought and decorated and put up yourself.

This one, which was taken after my parents sold me to Errol Flynn as a bipedal dog.

After he regained his sobriety, Flynn realized that he’d been bamboozled and got his $4 back. ;-o

This question is GREAT! I am loving seeing all these jellies as kids!
So cute and funny haha : D

I got these huge ass front choppers, so when I smile in photos I don’t open my mouth so I can avoid showing my buck teeth. But this one picture I have you can totally see them and I hate it lol.

My 21st birthday. I was drunk and decided I wanted to cut my cake naked. My boyfriend took the picture. I look at it now and I think that God I have Brazilian waxing done now. I had a huge bush, I never realised just how bad it was!
