Our friend Moses was in the back of the room taking pictures while I spoke. The results were hysterical. I should have warned him, as it's not his fault: last year on my book tour, I learned the hard way that I make a bizarre array of weird faces when I speak, rendering me utterly unphotogenic. Put me in front of an audience and suddenly my face is like Jim Carey in The Mask.
Here's one of the "better" shots...
One can only imagine what the rest looked like!
(For those of you that know me--do I do this all the time when I talk??? Nevermind...not sure I want to know!)
Still though, it was totally fun.
What's the worst picture you've ever had taken?

Your picture looked fine to me. I think a lot of us tend to freak when it comes to our photos. I know I do!! I hate the way I look in pictures. I think a lot of us have unrealistic expectations because of magazines. I'm sure if we all had professional hair and makeup and special lighting, then we'd look fabulous too!
Hi Trish-I saw the nice mention of my blog, The Happiness Project, on your favorite blogs. I so much appreciate you shining a spotlight on my blog! Thanks and best wishes, Gretchen Rubin
You might want to check out Catherine Claire Larson's book As We Forgive, which debuted this month. She shares incredible stories of forgiveness and reconciliation in Rwanda following the genocide there. The book is beautifully written, profoundly moving, and deeply theological.
too funny!! I love it when you talk...including all the cute faces:) It's completely endearing!
Haha, that's great! :) I have had plenty of awful photos taken but I'm never brave enough to show them to anyone.
You always look cute to me! :)
You and I need to tour together. I have been viewing videos of my past singing and have discovered why many friends and family keep saying, "Every time I see Jack Black, I think 'That's Lynette!'" My facial expressions during singing range from Norma Desmond to Jack Black.
And yes, you DO make that face quite often. But honey, in context? It works. Fret not.
