SPT: Special Edition

/
One brown eye, one blue eye. Now that is EXTRA special!
/
Except that both of my eyes are blue. When I vectorized the photo my right eye turned dark because that eye is so squinty in pictures. I don't notice it when I look in the mirror, but I do see it in every single photograph! Go ahead, check out some past self portraits, it's all there (and there and there).
/
Now my mom (and this will probably sound familiar, you may have both heard and said these words), my mom taught me that my *differences* are what make me special. But do they make me EXTRA special?
.
(And will you ever look at me that same again?)

NEVER! :)

So funny. I never would have noticed, but now I'll definitely always look!

I have a squinty eye too! Well mine is often all the way closed.

Yup, I agree with your mom.

My nephew has a brown eye and a green eye!

I too have one eye that is sometimes a little "half-mast". too funny. great picture!

Marie said...

Wo, Barb. Creepy.

Just Kidding. I have never noticed that in pictures. I have always loved your eye colour. It is so strong. When you look at Barb, you notice her eyes.

Dirk tells me my hazel eyes look like a muddy lawn in the spring. Romantic guy.

interesting!!

if it is "squinty" i think it is because of your big, generous smile!!!!!!!

yep, extra special!

That is way cool! I have never noticed- but it is something I would totally consider extra special. Awesome.

Mandy said...

My eyes do weird things in pictures too! I have noticed one of my eyes always looks bigger than the other, without squinting.

Fun spt!

I actually never did notice. But we do seem to notice our imperfections more often ourselves. Every time I take a SPT my nose is HUGE. Seriously. Love the creativity as always :)

Laurie said...

This SPT was very revealing! I like that -- what makes a person different makes them special. True.

one of my eyes always looks funny in pictures too. lol.

My family is notorious for the one squinting eye in photographs and when we are together, we seem to squint even more.

I never noticed it on you before, but my eyes do that too in photogaphs. I think it is because of how we smile. I do love your eye color.

Unknown said...

you and your bad VECTORIZING self. this is too funny!

i've noticed that my nose is an entirely different shape in photos as it is when i look in the mirror.

Windy said...

At least one of your eyes stays open. When I smile in pictures it always looks like my eyes are closed, even when they're not.
I think my reflection in a mirror looks completely different than how I look in photos, too.

Well, since I noticed yesterday that my eyes appear to be on a completely different plane, I will overlook your multi-colored self. :)

melanie said...

Definitely extra special. Gorgeous eyes, no matter the color.

It's probably because your right eye is more sensitive to light than your left.

One of my eyes is more squinty than the other as well. I've never liked it, but maybe now I'll think of it as extra-special...
