Thinking about my most recent visit to the local DMV office, I started wondering why so few people (according to my observations, anyway) smiled for their driver license pictures.
Is it because the folks behind the counter running the camera don't tell them to smile?
Is it because they've had or seen bad license photos of people smiling, so they don't want to risk repeating that?
Is it because they're aggravated with DMV for some reason related to getting their license?
Is it becoming the societal norm to not smile for these pictures?
I don't know. I smiled. I always have for my license picture. I have no reason not to. And I certainly don't want to have to present my license as ID with a picture of me that looks like a prison mugshot.

- I think too much. Sometimes I feel as though I have a committee in my head, constantly deliberating about the things that are important to me and the unimportant things I see and hear and experience. If I had the time, I would write and edit books for a living. For now, I just do that on the side.
