As per the requirements given by the Australian embassy, London:
The applicant must be photographed looking straight at the camera with a passive expression, open eyes, closed mouth in good light.
The challenge is to get a 5 week old wrecking bull to comply.
So you want a photo of me for something called a passport eh??
How's this one Mum and Dad?
What about this then eh??

I know putting dialogue to kids is a cliche but when it takes a good part of four hours to get a passport photo you get the feeling he knows just how to push all our buttons.
The second photo (The one where X is practising his vowels) is now our desktop photo.
That's awesome Joe. Good choice of photo and the passport will be a keeper. Check out the music site I recommended above.
Great pics and now a screensaver for us, too. Can't wait for a nurse. So what's the passport stuff for? Any news on an impending visit? Thanks for rescuing Amanda and some wonderful pics of one of the world's best towns. Wish I was in the Bird and Baby right now.
Nobody's said it, but I can't help thinking one of those shots of the X-man reminds me of Stirling Mortlock lining up for goal. Brilliant.
Joe-Sar, a similar experience happened to a newborn of a work colleague while we were based in Jakarta some years ago. Not only the photo for his Aussie passport, but in order to qualify for his KMIS Card, the 3 week old tyke had to have his fingerprints taken (all 10 of them). Smudges and smiles all round. KMIS? A work permit...something every 3 week old (foreigner) has to carry in Indonesia (or he/she will never be able to leave.)
