Today I did a portrait sitting with Heather Corinna. I need a good headshot to use for the back of my book, and headshots make me nervous. It really can’t be much more than just your face showing (this picture is going to be, like, 1″x1″ on the back of my book) and it shouldn’t be so goofy that no one can actually see you. So, I tried to put on my best “knowing smile” and Heather snapped away. These are some of the results:

Which one do you think is best? This is a weird question because I have found time and time again that the pictures that others like of me are never the ones *I* like. But hey: I’m not the one reading this book, so my opinion should probably matter the least. Anyone have any thoughts? I’m sort of stumped and not sure I like myself in any of them. Bah! Then again, after looking at this many pictures of my face, maybe I’m just sort of bored with myself. It’s also that this needs to be a sort of formal shot — but the end result is that I don’t really feel like I look like me. Because I’m such a goof.

Jeez, vanity is so exhausting sometimes!
