first headshot

[rm]

This is blown up from a contact sheet, so obviously the real one will be sharper, clearer and retouched. This is so me. (I'm probably ordering 3 shots -- this one, which is my "heh, the universe is funny" smirk, a grinning one, and then something or other that's yet to be ascertained. I'll probably post 5 or 6 in an effort to figure it out though).

A definite yes

BTW, my photog was Jinsey Dauk (http://www.jinsey.com), and if you need headshots you should go to her and tell her I referred you.

Wow.

I like.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Thank you!
I can't wait to get home and change my bloody user icon!

[britgeekgrrl.livejournal.com]

Wonderful! And I love the hair!

[rm.livejournal.com]

Thank you!
Now I just have to learn how to do that myself.
I so want a hair and makeup person daily.
Hell, I'd settle for just the hair.

[lllvis.livejournal.com]

That's a wonderful shot!

[rm.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

<startles.>

it is really you. it's also so completely adandn utterly different from any other shot you've ever taken that i've seen that.. i don't think i can even form an opinion yet.


..hm. actually. off the top of my head.. it's just as, if not more approachable as the striped-sweater pictures, but in a more.. regal, adult, and yet softer way. if that makes any sense at all.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

And this is what happens when I pay them instead of them paying me!

And yes, it does make sense, and that's good to hear. I read your comment and I looked at it again, and just sort of nodded -- ages ago I was on this kick about the one word people wanted to be described as, and I said complete -- I think this one nails it.

Of course, because I'm in the throes of this process, I'll probably change my mind 100 times along the way.

[splix.livejournal.com]

Oh, I like that. It's got a sort of late thirties feel to it.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Thank you, thank you.
Yeah, I was sort of shocked by that -- both in terms of the hairstyle and the way my eyes are in the entire shoot.

[schpahky.livejournal.com]

That's very different from any picture I've seen of you so far. And it is lovely.

That is a great hairstyle on you, too.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I just have to figure out the hair on my own now, actually.
I keep buying hairproducts lately, but I have to give in and just buy the Creative Genius thing that the roomie uses -- the two times I used it it was perfect. Stupid expensive though. And the name makes me giggle. Lots.

[kimberlycreates.livejournal.com]

Love the 'do too. The look reminds me of something like "I've got a secret, and if you're a good boy/girl, maybe I'll tell you..." Very lovely - shows off all of your features well :)

[rm.livejournal.com]

Thank you.
And yeah, I've been writing captions in my head for it.

It's funny, because until I blew this one up, I was "eh" about it, but knew the smirk reflected me well -- when I saw it larger, I was like "oh my god, that's _the_ shot". I mean, I'll have two or three, and then you get into this thing about which to send to what. But I saw this and saw the future. Good feeling.

[fifthconundrum.livejournal.com]

Very, very, very nice.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Because you knew I would do something like this ....

[delchi.livejournal.com]

Would you.... (http://www.delchi.net/images/beer2.jpg)

Re: Because you knew I would do something like this ....

[rm.livejournal.com]

But of course.

[endogenousardor.livejournal.com]

I know it's an unoriginal response, but since it's what I said outloud when the headshot first appeared on my screen, I'll repeat in writing here.

Wow.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[lawnrrd]

sola said just about everything I was going to say, except I can form an opinion right away, and I think it's startling and wonderful.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much.

[heron61.livejournal.com]

Excellent and wonderful! I love the rather enigmatic, quirky, and amazing smile.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Thank you.
I'm so pleased with it.
I think it's worthy of the specificity of certain of my ambitions.

[rahalia-cat.livejournal.com]

Wow!

Uh, can I take you home please? *grin*

Gorgeous picture. I love it :O)

[rm.livejournal.com]

Heeee!
Thank you!

[roadnotes.livejournal.com]

sola is right. That's definitely an excellent photo. I was thinking very early forties in era, myself: elegant, composed, confident.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Thank you.
*big breath*

Any chance that I'm seeing you tonight at A&G btw?
We've got a reception afterwards and everything.

[lolliejean.livejournal.com]

Excellent! You look glamorous and so very NYC.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[anathemadevice.livejournal.com]

it's great. it feels so much more....right than most of what i've seen in the past.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Thank you.
And yes.

[janoux.livejournal.com]

i have to say that it is an amazing pic. and i pulled gary in to see it when it came up.

you are so lovely.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[theotoky.livejournal.com]

oh my word, reive. that is exquisite. wow. and your user icon is the best. what did she do to get you to smile like that? gorgeous.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Basically, we started with my eyes clossed, and she just held down the button taking a ton of pictures as I'd open my eyes and laugh (that's for the grinning one). The other one, I was like, wait, there's this thing I do.

[shakespearessis.livejournal.com]

Adorable!

A good investment, if I do say so myself. ;)

[rm.livejournal.com]

THank you!

[sykii.livejournal.com]

Stunning.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

See you later?

[coyotegoth.livejournal.com]

I actually startled back from the screen when I first saw this; I've never seen one of your pictures look more you.

To the opera tonight, to confirm my impression...

[rm.livejournal.com]

Thank you -- although I'll be anything but that creature this evening.
Well, maybe, if I can find some bobbipins.

yeahhhhhh

[ashabeth.livejournal.com]

Love the new hair... :) Most lovely.
