I'm trying to pick out a new picture for my Facebook profile (and having some fun with the new camera). Oh and notice in some of them the obvious procrastination....see those stacks of books and the computer? Thats what I'm supposed to be doing instead of taking self-portraits and posting them on my blog
So I'm played with the profile pics a little bit (Picasa is a wonderful free program) and here is the results for four of them. Tell me which you like best.
I like this one because you can see my whole face, and I'm almost smiling, but the camera is not as obvious.
I like this because you can see my face, it has personality, the camera is prominent but I'm not smiling at all (and I've been told before the first impression people get of me...I'm a smiley girl...others have referred to me as...the girl who smiles all the time)
I love black and white photos, I love the little mystery, but my face isn't showing very well.
Full shot of my face, little smile, camera hidden, odd pose, (I like that my hair style - which I LOVE - is fully visable in this one :).
So tell me what you think...or don't ;)
By the way I would love to know who reads my blog so as well as telling me which picture you like, I would really appreciate it if you dropped me a comment and let me know whose reading my blog.
More essays coming your way...tomorrow...I REALLY hope! I'm almost (ummm well 30 pages in one book and 85 in the other left to go) done with my reading.

I guess before I could choose, I need to know what you want to project by the picture. You know as a photo-journalist what a picture is worth. SO - this picture can tell the visitors to your facebook profile site what it would take you a 1000 words to describe. (And you know what a 1000 words are worth at the going rate of cents-per-word.) What do you want your visitors to know about you? What would you say in those 1000 words? And then take a snap that says it in a photograph.
PS - Love the D70. It says a lot about you as a photo-journalist.

Alright dear,
I'm horrible at decisions, but I will say that I don't really like the full body shot as much, can't really say why...
I think it's the foot; it's distracting me.
Btw- I'm really sad that we're so close and can't get together. I'm leaving tomorrow for Wyoming!!! But we can keep in touch with email. God bless in everything!
Love,
Gloria
