Self-Portrait Is A Bad Idea

So it occurs to me recently that I might want a more professional image (than the current photo of me picking apples with my son) on my blog and website. And (in a flash of brilliance) I thought, "what better way to show people the 'real me' than to take a self-portrait?"

I mean: its sunny, I have a camera, its my day off and my son is sleeping. Conditions are perfect, right? Well.... let's just say the experience taught me one thing: I need to pay a portrait photographer to do this. And I will, one of these days.

In the meantime might I unveil:

This one was an accident, I didn't realize the camera was zoomed in.

For some reason, it is my favorite.

I like to call this one "Oops"

Okay, so at least this one is visible. But I'm not feeling it represents me very well.

And perhaps with this one, we should just call it a day.

Like I said, lesson learned: Leave this job to the professionals. But hey, at least you now know what I look like (kind of).
