Photo Vote
#1
#2OK, so I hate having my picture taken. And now look at me! Staring back at myself like all of life is part of the negative background.
Please take the time to vote for which one of these pictures is better. I completely understand if you vote neither, or make a snarky comment about what it looks like I might be thinking while sitting there. It might even be what I was thinking. Sitting there.

#1- I like how you look ever so slightly bemused...

2.
You looking right into the camera works wellhere.
BTW: If we ever meet, I will be happy to conduct an ad hoc photo session with you and see what we can do to take your portrait to the 'next level.'
#1. I'm with Louise on this.
#2. But neither, alas, JG. They're both... um... too "formal" for me, the poet THINKING.
Hope you're dandy.

#1. I'm with Louise on the bemusement. I also think that it matches the tone of the book, which I've read, oh, 50+ times... ;)
I like the second one better!
Oh, I know, roomie. I hate pictures. I tried to get him to take the photo of me with a six-pack plastic ring thing across my face, but he said it looked too much like Hannibal Lector.
#1 is winning? Yikes.
#1-#2 looks too much like "Too Hard To Die!"
Well, he did keep saying, "Love the camera," and, "Who's your photographer-"
#1 seems like a more natural shot, so for my money it's better-- for what it's worth
#1
#1, it's a strong angle
I prefer #2. In #1, it seems like you're thinking "Look! There are people changing behind that translucent screen over there!"
Ah, SDS, good times. Good times.

An anonymous vote might only count for .5 of a vote, but I say #1. You look friendlier and it's a little less like everyone-else's-back-flap-photo.
I think anonymous counts double.
#1!

It is me, Paige, and I want to vote for # 2.
You look scarily gripping, but in a good way. You look like the Anodyne. And I don't wanna hurt anymore.
I still think you should use that one of yourself as a NASCAR driver from that museum you visited with your kids.
Next time I visit I am taking pictures.
But I think #2 is lovely.
OK?
I vote for #2, FWIW. #1 is too beatific-Buddha looking.
If you let Justin take you--or your photo--to some putative "next level," please do share.
Word verification: "phinless."

Defintely #1.
#1! Friendlier, more humorous, more...you!
I pick #1!
Sorry #2 people (I was with you, but alas) but it looks like the powers that be went for the race car picture.
I then suggested a collage.
Maybe we'll have variant editions.
I doubt it.

You look handsome!
If I am not too late: What will the picture be used for? You don't need to say, but it does
matter. Photo #1 projects a gentler you. Photo #2 projects a sterner you. Using either one projects essentially one dimension.
If you want more than one dimension,
you would need to use both. A composite with #1 to the left would work.
Either is good, but a slight nod to 2. Looking forward to the read!
Have you tried superimposing?
Pretty cool results depending on how you choose to align them.
Ooooh, I could have a blur effect from side to front views! Or even better, one of those pictures that changes as you change in relation to it. Nice.
I'm not sure Akron would spring for that.
