Since Tigerlilly is not around, it would be nice if Volo or Doomhamer could tell me if that was the e-mail they send their pictures too or if there is another one that I have missed.

It is so weird. . . I can see that I send it from my gmail the 15th. Actually now I think of it, it has happened once or twice that people did not recive my e-mails. E-mails that there are no doubt was send.

I tried to send it again, have you recived it Tigerlilly?

I know that feeling. Over the years, it's rare anyone has ever taken a decent picture of me. I was excited to finally do my senior photos last year- professional photographers can make anyone look awesome. Then I got my laptop, which has webcam. You can actually see yourself while take the picture so you know whether you'll look half decent or not. I've been playing with that gadget a lot lately.

How can I get my picture on the photo page? I think you all would be impressed at my battle scars.

(because I am a ninja, remember?)

Except me... The worst pictures ever to be taken with me in them were taken by sc. professionals this year.

I just realised that the robot-look is soooo last year, so I had to change my pic

This one was taken to show my new haircut to my girlfriend, but I thought it would be good enough for you too! It's not easy taking pictures of yourself using your phone, I promise you...

It's almost scary to see some people for real, your own inner picture of them is totally changed... Like seeing LotR as movies

Some things are too far from your own view of them...

Were they paid well enough?

I've always had issues with professionals when it came to my school pictures. The problem is they don't have time and you don't really pay them, so it's one click and you're done. It might even turn out better if a monkey were to take your picture.

I endured twelve years of the horrifying "you only get one shot, so make it your best" school picture system. I consider my senior year the first time I faced a real photographer. Two to three hours with one of those guys and something's got to turn out good. Of course, professionals are expensive and only used for special occasions (unless your a model or actor). I know I won't be seeing one until my sister's wedding....
