The person I see in photos is different from the person I see in the mirror every morning. Dramatically different. I thought I was just nuts, that my brain was playing cruel tricks on me. Today I read an article about why a camera makes us look ten pounds heavier, and at the bottom of the article was the following:

Why is it sometimes hard to recognize ourselves in videos and photos? Because the image isn't flipped. We're most used to seeing our own bodies in the mirror, where our features are reversed left to right. It's similar to how our voices sound unfamiliar and higher on a tape recording. We're expecting to hear ourselves as we usually do, with the sounds we make traveling through the bones in our face to reach our ears.

Geez. I really thought I was losing it.
