Is it possible to look good in a passport photo?

This isn't a journal entry, I'm really asking - because I went to AAA today and couldn't stop laughing at what they gave me. The perfectly pleasant person who helped me took two, somewhat close, low focal length pictures. I swear I look like a criminal.

With no glasses to help, I scowled to figure out where exactly the camera was pointing. The flash was so bright, my hair stood in fright, or that was intentional in how it was styled. I also couldn't quite decide whether to smile or simply stare, and at the last moment an ever so slight smile crossed my lips. The result is fantastic, absolutely hilarious, but that's only because it's insane.
