Stop listening to your husband. This is not you. Not even close. This is a plain boring inside the box shot and I can just see you persona trying desperately to break out. This is the shot you give a mom of her daughter not of an edgey creative photog with great hair.
What? You want something more like this?
I mean, yeah. I've done that. But do I really have to stay inside *THAT* box? :greenpbl:
THIS is a boring portrait:

You really think what I did was THAT boring?

PLUS... You don't know me if you think this isn't "even close" to being me.
What ISN'T me... is painting my nails, as suggested for my ad image. Or wearing a collared shirt, as suggested for this one.
But the expression in my image? The attitude behind it? I got LOTS of that.
If you REALLY knew me you'd see the femme fatale behind it.
THAT'S the reason my husband loves it. Because he KNOWS I possess that... he just doesn't see it very often in the forefront, as Dan suggested, so when it comes out, he finds it super sexy.
There are many more layers to me than my crass, 12 year old boy humor, give no sh*ts, take no prisoners, personality.
Everyone has more than one facet of their personality. This is just a side that isn't seen as often.
