My second choice pic. It makes me look as though I'm planning something...

But the first one shows your dimple. Dimpled people unite!

(Yes, that's me. I've lost 125 pounds since we saw each other at ConJose)

w00t! Congratulations!

I think this one looks a little bit too posed. I think it's the hand under the chin that does it. I wouldn't say it makes you look like you're planning something though. More like you've already done something and you're trying to hide it. *grin*

Yeah--it's hard to make these shots look casual. I brought in printouts of Neil Gaiman images as examples of what I was looking for because he *always* looks natural. If it hadn't been so blasted cold outside, I'd have tried for some outdoor/leaning against a building shots, but it was not to be.

Too-posed or not, it's still a good pic. And I'm really digging the haircut. I'm a long-hair fan, but you do short quite well.

Thank you. My dream cut is way too short for me to handle. There's a woman on one of the Dennis Hopper retirement plan commercials--and who would have ever thought that Hopper would ever be caught dead doing financial planning commercials, but it's almost 40 years since Easy Rider, and a ponder for another day--who has my dream look. She's 50ish, with skin tanned enough to make a dermatologist shudder, and she has an iron grey/silver crop that's about an inch or so long all over. It helps that she has a perfectly shaped head--skull shape is vital when you go that short--but she just looks so cool and outdoorsy and classy. My new icon.

I prefer this one for a book jacket. Both are lovely.

Well, that's one vote. ;-)

I will be able to make use of all the shots, I think. I like having choices.

I vote for calling this one the "I know something you don't know..."

It's not evil enough for the coda: "...and, boy howdy, it's gonna hurt"...
