Ravages of time

My first passport pic in 1981 aged 7

Children were required to renew their pics after five years, so here I am in 1986, aged 12

God knows what I was thinking, but this is the photo from passport number two in 1991, aged 18, I even had my ear pierced at that time. Just because my mum said no!

This is the pic from passport number three, you are getting old when you get your third one, I was preparing to go to Kenya so didn't want long hair and had it shaved off the day before. Now I get some odd stares when i reach immigration. This was taken in 2001, aged 29.


This is my Irish passport, I got it in 2006 aged 34. Mean and moody.
