I kind of like this picture but I see what you mean. Remember when the magazines would do that to Palin, get as close with the lens as you can so that they look misshapen and weird. LOL
I was thinking of your name sake in that regard. Pres. Reagan just looked the way he looked- usually with the smile. No pretense- always natural. That was him.
Seems to me, one of Gov. Perry’s advantages is that he does have a rugged, attractive appearance-— the Parade photo seems to try to make him even moreso— and there’s absolutely no need.
Mom Tex’s photo shows a good looking guy and a family man— much better, imo.
