Picture Project. Eek.

I've started to do some more freelancing work these days. It's cool, not just because of the variety and profitability of the work, but also because one of my clients is kind of...er, my pimp. (?) See, this client provides professional support services for their clients, and now they want to start offering copywriting (through me, as a subcontractor). It's good work at a solid rate, and it means a bit less pounding the pavement in marketing myself for myself. Yay!

Anyway. One of the things I do is write an article for the monthly newsletter they send to clients. It's sort of my debut, I guess. Of all the things they've asked me to do, the most duanting one is this: Provide a picture of yourself, to go with the article and your bio.

OMG. A picture? So I'm going to be in search of a pleasant and professional head-shot kind of picture, appropriate for attachment to an online newsletter article. (Probably about userpic size.) I'm told that a line drawing of a smiley face will not be quite the right thing.

Ugh. I'm not looking for a photo shoot, but I will probably be making an effort NOT to dodge people taking my picture in the near future...as long as you'll send it to me if it comes out okay.

Talk to the big bald man. *grin* He's pretty good!

Actually, a cropped (just the face!) version of one of those pics he got at the goddess party might work well for the immediate need.

Not, you know, one of when archway was being feeding me delicious fingers things.

Hrm.

I have a number of pics I have snuck of you recently... I'll poke through them tomorrow. OR, I can have Diva snap one of you next time you're bunny-snoogling... you look like a totally different person when immersed in bunny, and since you're not generally fond of pictures of YOU, we'll see if you like the other person you become when snoogled. (BEFORE the benadryl and dander kick in).

That reminds me, I have some Amtgard photos to get GIMP'd. It will be a good recruiting tool... you're sure to come out and whomp on me every week if I'm just the right amount of horrible.

Congrats on the job stuff btw, self-employment is harder, but if you are successful at it, it is a bit more stable in that no one can just pull the whole carpet out from under you. 8-)

Um, we have not one, but two professional photographers coming to help and hang out for the garage sale at our house this weekend. I bet if we ask really nicely they might be able to take a nice shot of you. zerself has a new spiffy digital camera; we could upload the pic and send it to you.

You might wanna wander by sometime this weekend. :)

My elder daughter is an excellent photographer, and her price is about right. :-)
