It does feel very different to me (though perhaps it's relevant that I don't form very clear images in my mind, and a picture is to me qualitatively very different from my much more impressionistic ideas of people I have seen - and it's getting kept around longer, rather than being replaced by this week's bunch of impressions of random people). But the face thing specifically feels weird because I think of an image of my face as more connected to me as a person than I do, say, an image that happens to include my butt. It just feels as if he might be being more controlling or something, hey, I can tell this woman what to do inside my head, that kind of thing. If it was a picture of my butt I would think of it as him imagining a woman with a butt like mine. Somehow I can't make that work with "a face like mine."

And I am not saying this is necessarily terrible behavior on his part, either. It's just ringing some alarm bells and I'm trying to figure out why.
