If You Want Something Done Right ….

You may have noticed that at long last there’s a picture of me on my blog. I always prefer blogs where the author is not anonymous and I think having your picture there on every page is about as un-anonymous as you can get. The reason my picture wasn’t added sooner is that I simply didn’t have a picture of myself that I didn’t hate. Yesterday I finally decided to take matters into my own hands and keep taking pictures of myself till I got one I didn’t hate. I took a fair few goes (about 40 shots as it happens), some serious cropping, and the removal of all colour, but in the end I finally got a shot I don’t hate. In fact, I actually kinda like it.
I agree with you, anonymous posting does not really increase the blog-posters honesty nor does it really help the blog itself. You usually want to at least know the real name of the person who’se blog you are reading… Photo though is a different matter.
Cool picture man, I have the same problem of not having a good picture, so I started using a portrait of me drawn by a friend.
I’ll get around to getting a good photo sometime…
