Narcissus and the Camera.

We have to admit that photoshopping 'selfies' is mostly a female obsession. 

We've all seen those pouting, over prettified, portraits of phone-holding young ladies, that they post on 'social media' web pages, inviting admiring comments from followers and friends.

                                                   

Having said that, this photo above is what I actually look like (in case you didn't know), no-frills, with all the obvious signs of ageing on view. No titivating was made in order to make me look any younger or more 'attractive'. I am what I am, and I am OK with that. I am old, wrinkly, balding, scruffy, and grumpy looking; with a vacant expression.

The photo was taken by a friend, who said he could loose me a few years/kilos by some non-invasive photographic cosmetic surgery.  I refused, saying that 'narcissism' wasn't really my thing. 

Instead he told me to take my jumper off, and took the following photo instead. 

Lady M suggested that I use the picture as my Passport Photo.

Maybe I will.
