Have you ever missed out on an important picture? Perhaps it was a family photo? A reunion photo? Your families photo Christmas cards photo?

Thanks to modern technology you can be in the photo without even being there.

There are two times in my life that I regret not being in a picture and wish I knew how to use picture editing programs. The first time was when an international youth magazine came to take a picture of our class. For most regular teens, that’s a once in a lifetime opportunity and I had to be absent. I was hardly ever absent why did I have to absent that day?! Although I don’t see myself calling an international magazine and saying “hey, if I send you a picture of myself, can you doctor me into that picture?”, I could have perhaps done something about the second situation.

The second time was when I was a part of Youth Outdoors program. At that time in my life I considered it a big deal because it was something none of the other schools in that State had done and I got to be a part of it. Of course I happened to be absent again. I didn’t even know the picture had been taken until the yearbook came out. If I had known however, and knew about photo software, I could have had them put me in. Oh well. Life goes on.

Anyhow, I found this great example of someone being added to a photo Christmas card, who wasn’t actually there. Can you tell who it is?
