new pic

[susandennis]

I really want a new LJ picture and a good LJ picture - of me. waning_estrogen made one with a cool tool she found and it looks great. When I tried it, the picture of me looked worse than the reality of me. I want a good picture of me and I think the big stumbling block is the dichotomy between what I look like and what I think I look like. And this is even a bigger problem when you factor in what I'd like to look like.

please email me a snapshot of you and let me try some things. puh-leeze????

[susandennis]

Aren't you fun! But, see, the only snapshot I have of me that doesn't suck is really old. Ok, well maybe - let me see what I can pull together. Maybe if I can get some different ones you can pick one and play. Thanks!!!

wheee!! send as many as you can. I bet I can cook something up for you. I have made art prints from snap shots you wouldn't believe. If we get something good, I'll detail out for you what worked. If we don't, then no harm done.

[susandennis]

You are too much. But, who am I to deny??? I snapped you some just now and gathered up some others. I put them all on a page for you - Lots of Really Raw Material.

Since I'm really georgous on the inside and not very photogenic, this may be mission impossible but thanks for offering and have fun!

hehehe.. I liked the wig one the best - but I'm still playing. Here's some ideas for you. Feel free to alter, throw away, whatever...

Thanks!!!

[susandennis]

Wow. That's amazing! Thanks!!!

Here's one I did for you... feel free to use or not use it!

WOW

[susandennis]

I cannot believe you did that! How very nice of you and what a wonderful picture and it really is me!!! I look so interesting! Thank you!!

Very nice! I like it!

Although I like the '4 years ago' photo with longer hair, too. Wish my hair would still do that kind of 'do'.

[susandennis]

Me too!! I do like that photo but now that I think about it, it was closer to 10 years ago than 4 and I was several chins lighter. Those were the days.

[susandennis]

Oh I'm awake now... and remember the 4 years ago thing (had it confused with the 10 year one). That was a short lived experiment. My hair is too thin and too sparse to make that 'do' work right. And I hate hair in my face. When I got the pictures back from the developer, I made the chop decision. It looks better now than I remember it.

If you're willing to share a few photos, I'd love to see what I could come up with as well. No guarantees, though!

[susandennis]

That would be excellent. I gathered what I had and added some cam shots from yesterday. Pix of me The raw material isn't that great - sorry.
