The New Me :-)

Well, not really a new me, but some new business photos of me. And long overdue, too — the photo I’ve been using on my web sites and blogs (and as my social media avatar) is at least 5-6 years old now, and I just don’t look that young anymore. I haven’t seen all of the photos we took on Saturday, but of the ones I have seen, these are my favorites:
How’d I do?
Strange that both are serious poses. There are some good smiley shots, too, but I just like these more.
The photog is a guy I’ve known from the Tri-Cities group on Flickr. I posted a thread about wanting to get some new portraits done, and chose him from the people who replied. He’s not really even in business for himself yet, but has a little studio down in his basement at home, and all turned out well. Now Cari’s thinking about having him do new portraits for her, too.
If you flew me in, i’d done it for free =)
I like the intensity of the one on the left! Intriguing and a little scary
Phil – this guy did it for free, too.
Well, I made a small donation to charity event he’s involved with. But yeah, would’ve been great to have you shooting some pix.
David – thx. There’s one that’s even more serious and frightening. I don’t dare publish it.
I’ve been meaning to get some professional business shots done as I look different from my current avatar photos as well. Maybe this will be a motivator.
I’ve could have done all sorts of stuff to either funk-afy, or whatever. But the basics is what most folks want in a head shot.
I’ve got an office shoot on Saturday- oh goodness.
