Passports

So in applying for a passport I decided to try and do my own photo. Unfortunately, I over worried about the photo and didn't do as good of a job on it. When I went to the acceptance center they didn't think it was a good picture and so I went with their picture. Then today I got my passport and the picture looked awful. It's worse than the picture they told me wouldn't work. Ironically on the first passport I got I did the picture simply by seting it on a tripod and using a timer. That passport's picture looks really good. I should have just not worried and made them send it in even if they didn't think it would pass. I'm not too thrilled with passport acceptance agencies.
