2007-Feb-9 - Gotta Cover Up Those Blemishes
Because I'm getting headshots tomorrow. Remember when you were a kid and mom would take you once a year to some place where they'd sit you and your siblings up on some table with varyious boxes and such on top of it covered by shag carpeting and then they'd scroll down those backgrounds: noir, swirly brown, and duck pond? -yeah those were kind of like the headshots of our youths. The difference is: then you cried while getting your pictures and now you cry when getting them back.
I'm trying to remember if I got new headshots last year or two years ago. Hmm... What does it matter? The fact is my current one needs improving. You see, nobody told me I shouldn't have selected a picture where the top of my forehead is cut off. Like so:
That said, I'll be shooting this weekend with a photographer my manager, Rudy, set me up with. The idea is that we'll have the pics (hopefully much better ones) before Tuesday when Rudy has a meeting with a fellow from CAA or William Morris- I forget. Apparently Rudy has a few meetings lined up over the next couple weeks where he'll be pimping out his clients to agency types and maybe just maybe somebody'll bite. We shall see...
Although I'd rather be spending that cash on a flatscreen than more pics of myself, perhaps my investment will pay off somewhere down the line.
