How do you want your pictures look like

Most of people think themselves look better in pictures. I am no exception. One seemingly scientific explanation is that our image is distorted subtly by the transformation from three-dimension to two. I have my own theory: we look better because we were younger when taking the picture than when looking at it. The time difference could be years, weeks, days or minutes. Nonetheless the shutter has clicked, and the moment has passed forever. For the few who think that their pictures look uglier than themselves, they have the potential getting into a romantic novel. Dorian Gray had a picture in closet which became aged for him, so he could keep youth perpetually. Benjamin Button went even further. His life reversed the entire cycle from the very beginning. How do you want your own picture look like?
