Hooray! New Headshots!

Well, finally, after 9 YEARS I bit the bullet and got new headshots. And so far I like the results. 5 locations, 6 looks, 500 shots, 200 bucks. You will not find a better deal than that.

Anyway, I am now faced with the task of which headshot(s) I'd like to use. So, taking a page from Justin's blog, I'd love to enlist all y'all, if you're willing. If you have a spare moment, please go to

http://picasaweb.google.com/arthur.rowan/Headshots

and take a look. I posted 15 shots, each one sort of representative of a "look" that I might go with. Just drop a comment here letting me know which ones you liked the look of. Keep in mind that things like brightness and blemishes can easily be photoshopped, so really what I'm thinking of right now is expression (eyes being a big thing), color, general composition.

Also, even though headshots have in the past been just black and white, the general trend now seems to be moving towards color, so thankfully I don't need to worry about how well these would translate into B&W.

Finally, this is 15 of 500, so if you see one where you generally like the look of it but don't like the exact expression, let me know that too, since I'll probably have at least 5 other shots similar to it.

3, 9, 12, and 15, with 12 being the pretty clear winner in my book. If the background is a concern, then 3 wins.

First, let me state that looking at head shots of males is SO absolutely contrary to my personal internet usage ethics that I had to force myself to do this. ;)

However, having overcome my personal qualms, I vote for 1, 3, 6, and 8. With the first and last being my, *gulp*, favorites.

Now I'm off to ESPN.COM to restore my inner gyroscope.
