michael s. Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 A prediction: married people will post photos on this thread in comparatively small numbers :-) Like the way you've framed her in this shot, Ben. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivek iyer Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I couldn't agree more, Michael. Anyway, Ben, that star in the foreground made me look up the Mitzvoh. Keep your distance :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack_lo_..._t_o Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 She looks charming and smart and sweet, which for a grown-up = "hot". And hubby here looks like he is enjoying your hopelessness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliot_rosen1 Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 "She looks charming and smart and sweet,.." None of those are qualities that can be judged from a photograph. All I can tell from the picture is that she looks cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack_lo_..._t_o Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Technically you're right Eliot, but I do make those judgements when I see a person, even in a still photograph. She has a wonderful soft caring look about the eyes, and a smile that indicates curiousity and appreciation of others. Of course she could be none of these things. She tolerates cigars: I don't know if that's a good thing or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliot_rosen1 Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 She's photogenic, but that doesn't say much else about her personality. I know people who are not photogenic but are really nice and vice versa. That's why I would be very careful about making any judgement based on how a person looks in a picture.

mike-images Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Eliot has it dead right - if you have to be photogenic to be smart, caring.....there is absolutely no hope for me. I'm sure Eliot is right - photogenic doesn't matter <G> M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry_rory Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Some interesting points being raised here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray . Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 It's likely Jack's right from what I see. Although you can never be sure from a photograph, quite often you can tell things about someone's personality, although admittedly, you could be dead wrong. Well, I doubt it though, in this case. You get clues about someone's personality just by the way they dress, for example. My gf took a look at a pic of my ex-gf and also one of my mom and decided they both must have a "big personality"- meaning that they were extroverted. She was correct in both cases. btw- "cute" is also a personality trait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eliot_rosen1 Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Ray, I'm afraid you are mistaken. Have you ever heard thr expression "you can't judge a book by its cover" or "all that glitters is not gold"? You sound like someone who is prone to making snap judgements about people. Your impressions may be correct but they could just as easily be wrong. Just because someone smiles and is photogenic does not mean that he/she is not an SOB. Most people would use cute as an adjective to describe someone who is physically attractive. It is not a personality trait, though personality certainly may contribute to a person's attractiveness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent_tolley2 Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Abraham Lincoln had interviewed a man for a job, I donメt know what job. When the man left his office his aide asked him what he thought? Lincoln said I'm not going to hire him. I don't like his face. Astonished, the aide said surely Mr. Lincoln you can't judge a man by his face. Lincoln said every man over 40 is responsible for his face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael s. Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 "Alas, after a certain age, every man is responsible for his own face."<p> - Albert Camus<p> And of course, Camus was photographed by the <a href=http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:4RxbgrXDSqoJ:www.pulitzer.org/year/2000/criticism/works/allen2.html+albert+camus+leica&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=3&client=firefox-a>Leica-toting Henri Cartier-Bresson</a>, so the quote is on-topic for our Forum. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent_tolley2 Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Michael - Robert Bly tells that story about Lincoln. I think Camus borrowed the quote from Lincoln, changing "over forty" to "after a certain age" and claimed it as his own.<BR> <A HREF="http://72.14.207.104/search?q=cache:0zG9bssAnyAJ:www.quotegarden.com/integrity.html+quotes+over+forty+responsible+face&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=8">Lincoln quote 3/4�s of the way down the page</A>-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
