Picture day
Mar. 8th, 2007 12:23 pmActually, I think it was the same photographer who shot the CI photo, but I don't think she remembered me.
Picture has been committed. I wound up choosing 5 shots for the new publicity library. I know which one I'll use for the book, but the others are nice-to-haves for those times when I don't just want to send out the book shot.
I look like I look. My problem is, I want to look like I did 15 years ago. Still haven't come to grips with the "late 40s unto 50" thing. Not asking for buck-ups or sympathy--just telling it like it is.
Too cold to try outdoor shots, but the photog had some neat interior things that made it look as though I stood in front of a brick wall or leaned on a stone bannister. I wore my glasses, because they look authorly, they matched what I wore, and I actually looked better with them.
The best photo that has ever been taken of my Mom happened when she was at a party in the late 60s/early 70s. She'd gone to the restroom--someone called her name, and she stuck her head out the door and looked down the hall and click they snapped the picture. Best shot ever--my Dad kept it tucked in the sun visor of his car or in his wallet until he died.
I think the moral of the story is that candid shots are best, and if I'd had a good up-to-date one, I'd have used it.
In other news, my right eye is acting up. I wonder if I scratched the cornea somehow--it tears a little, and itches/burns. Not bloodshot. And I see a little light-flashy-thingy in the area every time I blink. That side of my face feels odd, so it could be sinus. But my eye definitely burns.
I guess my teeth felt left out, because the one end of my permanent retainer managed to work loose. Need to call the dentist and get it rewelded. I'll give the eye a day or two--it's not a problem, it's just there.
