The consummate Christensen

The signature at the bottom says "Jacquelyn," but don't believe a word of it. Whoever maintains this blog won't let me post. Maybe she's ashamed of me. Maybe she doesn't think I'm a Christensen. Maybe she thinks I'm boring and won't ever post anything worth reading. Whatever. So I'm forced to steal (or, really, "borrow") my wife's identity.


At Cori's wedding we talked about who looks the most like a Christensen. Zack posted his version of what a Christensen mix would look like. After seeing these portraits of the average man and woman of different cities, I thought I'd try again.


I ran our pictures from the Capitol photo shoot through a program called Sqirlz Morph. (Sic.) I used only second-generation ethnic Christensens—i.e., only 100% blood relations. The photos aren't ideal for this project, since they're not high-resolution of each face, some of the faces were partly occluded, etc. But this is what came out.


(May I say, we are a good-looking bunch?) So, whom do these look like? Which of us is closest to the consummate Christensen?
