my thoughts on the previously posted pics -- don't read if you haven't looked yet

[rm]

I keep going back and forth on the first one. Tragic or alien? Tragic and alien? I need to shut up before I write myself a TV show. Oh, wait.... Anyway.... tragic/alien -- are either of those things good? I should also note that this photo was literally the first shot of the day. It might be the one. I don't know. It's a strange photo.

The second one -- it's a great pic, right? I feel like it says, "I should be a cabaret singer." I am NOT a singer.

Third one -- not a headshot, was never meant to be, but I do like it. Will wind up on my website in some form.

The brick fucking shirt -- god, I hate my hair there. I've found a few others in the set that I like a lot though. It's a good shot and represents me pretty well and are more accessible. But I don't know... they don't wow. But the wow me is so scary (see photo 1 again), that maybe gentler is a good way to go?

Black top, leaning against the wall -- I have no idea who that woman is. NONE. I want to like it more. I don't like it AT ALL.

The suit pics -- EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM IS FANTASTIC. Actually there's a bunch that blow, but all the ones where I'm STANDING ON A TABLE ON A ROOF are awesome. It's both unsurprising and a little confronting to me to see. It's also sort of hilarious: "Here, stand on this wobbly fucking table, on the edge of this really windy fucking roof in sub-zero temperatures, and pretend that doesn't make you feel like you're about to die."

The first blue one is decidedly evocative, and thus shows that you can project emotion even in a still shot - which means you can act. Plenty of cute typical little things can do "accessible"; go with your strengths. Even, and especially when, they're scary. Cute typical little things can't do scary either.

My OCD about the shirt sticking out a bit made it hard to judge #3, but it's good and seems to sum you up well in a Rachel Maddow-esque way.

Black top - it doesn't look like "you" you, but it does speak, and I like the pairing it with the suit pics because it's their opposite in a lot of ways. Which may be a lot of why it isn't you. But I think you could play that part.

Can't wait for roof pics.

Those suit shots are the roof pics. Which is why it's hilarious that I look all strong and powerful, since I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO PLUMMET TO MY DEATH.

...and thus is proven that you have great acting skills...
