In honor of growing my hair out long and not butchering it, since I am my own hairdresser, I decided to have a lil' photo shoot today to update my online avatars. I got these two images I thought were kind of nice - but I'm not sure which one I'll choose. The top two make me look kinda haggard - but I don't think that is a bad thing necessarily. I'm a bit obsessed with being old. I did two different treatments, the second one screams, "I just left a 70's disco party, and yes, that is powder on my nose."
The bottom photo was taken sort of by surprise - yes, I was the one taking them, but I wasn't expecting this one to work. Maybe I'm reading into things, but I feel like there is more of me in that photo. Plus I look about 10 years old, which is kind of nice. As much as I like being old, it's nice to have the option not to look it.

Last one. I like it because it looks really natural and it doesn't look like you are sucking your cheeks in.
@Lance - uh oh - you know the world's ultimate beauty secret! Drat. Yeah, the cheek-sucking is pretty obvious. But I felt like the hair warranted a bit of that! *blushing*
I agree with Lance. The last one has a natural look to it. I think you could probably take a few more and get one that more accurately captures you than the last one, but I like that one the best for sure.
It's funny - now that I'm looking at the images on a bigger screen, they look different.
I think you are right Julie, the last one is okay for now.
I could post more that I took...
I love the third shot. I like the first one as well but the third one just sets the bar so much higher.
You look gorgeous in all three! So I guess my vote is for the third one also, because of the cheek-sucking. And I'm a sucker for conformity :)
Okay, okay, I do have SOME natural cheekbone - it's the slavic thing...
; )
Third one.
Oh geez, I didn't mean to call you out. I just thought it may have been the angle or lighting or something.
Oh I like the second one, but also the third - either looks good!
I like the first one. I like the softness of it.
@lance - it's no big deal. I'm not offended! I've spent my life playing dress-up on stages. I have no shame pretending. : )
@please sir and tiffanyandink - it's so interesting that everyone has different opinions! Thanks for your input.
Number Two looks great for the blog, Number Three looks great for a CD Album Cover :)
@Ibrahim - I agree, #3 does look like a good one for an album cover!
Maybe I'll do a bit of blog re-design with #2 - good call!
Here's another vote for #3. I like the lighting.
i agree...#3 is more natural and beautiful =)
#3 is my fave, but I love them all. And I officially have milena hair envy!
