I am no longer the goddess of the self-timer

[jeliza]

The idea that I used to make actual, quality art while doing the self-timer dance for three hour stretches boggles my mind (yes, it was 9 years ago, but still.)  I am in pain. Also, wow is it a pain in the butt to deal with a room full of stuff instead of a happy clean seamless to shoot against. But anyway. I need some opinions

The pictures are adequate to the task, I think, which is a "behind the scenes" shot of me at work which will go up on several websites. I don't really know which one to send, though. I did album assembly (even though 5 out of my 7 kinds of albums are assembled by the bookbinder) because a picture of me sitting at the computer designing seemed really really boring.


Set #1 (matted album):

Set #2 (flush album, and I thought the stripey shirt might moire-ing when I checked the LCD)

I am not yet sure whether I will take the time to retouch in a little extra hair where apparently I was uneven on my last buzz. :)

So if you could tell me know which of these 7 is most appealing to you in a "finding out a bit about this person you might hire" way, that would be great. Image deadline is now past; thanks for all your input.

The stripy shirt is awesome on you. I like #2 of the first set the best. I agree you look slightly irritated, but it comes across to me as an "I get shit done" kind of look.

I like the stripes. 2-4... #4 might be my all around favorite, though the elbow position tweaks me for reasons that have nothing to do with art.

tweak is the right word. I have no idea how the people who have to assemble those albums for 8 hour shifts manage it, they are squirrely and awkward.
