However, I do not have control over my eye movements and cannot look at the camera; this also results in The picture coming out with eyes closed, so getting my state ID picture taken at the BMV is a stressful experience because the staff don?t care; they will make me redo the picture until it?s right, but they cannot expect me to change something I have no control over. Therefore, would it be within reason to communicate to them that I do not have control over eye movements and that it is better if they bring the camera to my face instead of havto look at it and that my eyes may be closed? <o:p></o:p></pre><pre>Sent from Kelsey Nicolay?s iPhone <o:p></o:p></pre></blockquote><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
