One of my HFs, (Margaret E. Reid) several years ago, showed me a pic of her dressed all in red. “I’m going to use this as my publicity photo when I sell.”
She had on a hat (I think) and looked really glamorous. She was and is beautiful, but the shot didn’t have a lot of personality.
She learned a lot in the mean time. Her best pic, which she should use her publicity stuff, is a racing photo–a hobby she shares with her dh. She has her helmet under her arm and (if I’m remembering correctly) is standing next to her race car.
The pic says tons about not only her personality, but who she really is–unlike the posed “lady in red”.
She also has a humongus love for her children. Here she is in her Blue Bonnets. Below she’s with her daughter in the Blue Bonnets.
Author Margaret E. Reid and daughter Amy in Meg
Pictures of Meg are wonderful, but pictures of Meg that show her in her life really rock!
We have another friend I mentioned, Marilyn, who has a deep love for dogs and her grandson. I don’t have pictures to show of them together, but if she had a pic of her and her pack (she’s the head b**** in charge–believe it!) it would be perfect! Or one of her and her beautiful grandson would score!
I can’t think of a thing that would work for me like that. I don’t race cars or horses. I have no grandchildren.
I knit. I garden. I cook. I take a lot of pictures–but I’m not in any of them. 🙂 I sit behind a desk a lot.
How about a face half hidden by a computer screen?
Hm.
Maybe I’ve hit on something.
Or how about this?
