Question: Why do I look better in a mirror than in a picture!?
When I look in a mirror, my hair and makeup is perfect, but in pictures, I look just the opposite! I don't understand what is wrong with my camera!. Here is a recent picture that I took of me!. You can just see how badly the camera makes me look:

LOL!.!.!. you got me! I was about ready to go off on a rant with this endless moronic question, then I looked at the photo and realized it was a joke!. Very good, you obviously have tired of this idiotic "my photo does not look like I do in my mirror" stupidity as much as I have!. The only thing worse is the ceaseless black and white with like one thing in like color question!.

LOL! Ok, dog joke aside, you look better in the mirror because you can see the real you!. A photograph can't capture a real person!. The brain sees in 3D, but a photograph can only capture a 2D image, which is usually completely different from real life!. If you don't believe this, look through a photo album of someone you don't know, and see if you can spot the same person in each photo!. And also, how many times have you seen a celebrity photo and though, "Wow, I didn't recognize him/her!" This is because where our brain sees many sides at once, the photograph only shows one!. And they are all different!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

it's what happens when we try to take pictures of ourselves without making the fish lips and using a pink professinal camera!.
the gravitational force of the law of fish lips acted on your eyes and nose!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
