I like how deceiving (facebook) photos can be.  Sometimes, people never look quite the same in real life as they do in the pictures (read: oogly).  Like the girls who take pictures in blinding overhead light so bright that it distorts the actual features of the face and hides the numerous blemishes that are littered all around.  But it's all relative, isn't it?

How do we judge people by their appearance from a few second's worth of camera shutters rather than by what they say?  Or is it that how they look that conveys the personality through images rather than words..?

Over the summer, I picked up the habit of reading Craig's List missed connection boards.  At first the act was something to pass the time during the wee hours of the morning.  But now I feel that I was searching for that one ad addressed to me; I wonder if the strangers I see on the train or walking past notice me.  There are so many people in New York City, is it really that difficult to remember a passing face?
