I can readily believe that you would not think of doing this and this would make an old picture of you not a source of self reflective experience to you. If the picture were unidentified, other people on this list might very well take it as a picture of an anonymous man which they might reflect on as displaying or not signs of blandness or attempted rebellion,untidiness of mind or rigid thought,self importance or an unsuccessful desire to stand out from the crowd.
