FFing Enigma
I got tired of trying to take a decent, respectable, trustworthy, don't-look-stupid profile pic for my employment sites. So I took a MySpace-y photo to say hi to FriendFeed instead. Hi!
hi.jpg
OH HAI - SOMEBODY!
Things I note in this picture: the "MySpace angle" makes my eyes look baggy. And it's time for a haircut, though perhaps I'll cheap out and just have someone gimme some bangs. - FFing Enigma
What's wrong with your Friendfeed picture? The seriousness gives a touch of personality. - Jordi Soler
you have a very sexy and intense look to you. Your eyes are way intense-in a very good way.... - Morgan
I'm not trying to replace my FF profile pic, Jordi. I'm trying to get a decent new pic for my 'official' profiles used in my job search. Right now they have the default goofy face (which is better than most of the shots I took, trust me!). - FFing Enigma
And Morgan, that's my "I DARE YOU to ask me to sell insurance!!!" look. Well, almost: I'm missing the snarl. - FFing Enigma
For official profiles try one with glasses on (fake glasses if you don't use 'em). The sexy-dirty-secretary look is a winner! - Jordi Soler
LOL! Jordi, that was the problem with the pics I took: I had my glasses on and either kept getting reflections in the lenses or inadvertantly crossing that dirty secretary look. Not what I wanted! - FFing Enigma
i wouldn't dare try to sell you insurance....no way....but a rice cooker? Hmmm, maybe I'll try... - Morgan
Hi, Tina. :) - Josh Haley from iPhone
The proper profile pic is important! The pic on my LinkedIn page is NOTHING like any of my other profile pics. I think you did a great job. - ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift
I'm still without the proper profile pic, Tutivillus. This was me giving up and taking a shot for FF since the profile shots all made me look like a doofus. I are not a doofus! Wait... - FFing Enigma
*swoon* - Derrick
Derrick, you just love me for my kitchen magic. And I am AOK with that! - FFing Enigma
...cool, a Tina sighting! ;-) - .LAG liked that
holy crap. so so so pretty. - Bren
this is way too awesome to be myspace-y. - Jim the Blatant
I'd say that's like 4 on the richter scale of MySpacey photos :) - anna sauce
I know, Jason, but the polarizing filter I have isn't for the camera I have. If I had a job I'd buy a new one, but then I wouldn't need the filter to take the picture if I had a job. Catch 22s suck... - FFing Enigma
no,no,no...no hair cut! :) - ovigia
nice - ffcode
I still don't have a pic on LinkedIn. Tina, I'm no photographer, but I bet if you had a little fill light you could de-emphasize the bags under the eyes. (I notice this with myself, because I am incredibly vain. And have giant bags under my eyes, even if I have enough sleep, etc etc) - Andrew C (✓)
I'd say raise up your chin a tad, sit up straight, and place the camera on a pile of books with a liht source- lamp, etc. eye level and off to the side. It would lessen the bags and make it a little less MySpacey, also think of something funny and don't worry about averting your eyes. This is really done best by someone else- it's *so hard* to take a good self-portrait. - anna sauce
OT, but how come FB doesn't have a portrait "style" like Myspace does? - Andrew C (✓)
Andrew- it does, it's called "me and my kids" or "just my kids" or "me in foriegn country" or "me with a girl/boy cut out because we broke up" lol - anna sauce
Wow, that's uncanny. You and I share no friends on FB AFAIK and yet you just described most of them. - Andrew C (✓)
Just to clarify: this isn't one of my profile photo attempts. This is a cell pic taken with no light other than what's coming in a dirty window. Sad part is I wound up looking way less douchey in this than in my the actual attempts =P I think the profile photo will be tomorrow morning's challenge: take advantage of the morning light since I won't have to be at a farce of a job interview. - FFing Enigma
H3LL0! - AJ Batac (/-_-)
This needs to be in my feed every day. Is there a script for that? :) - Josh Haley
TECHTECHTECHTECHSOCIALMEDIATECH. Sorry, had to make this relevent since it looks like it's gonna wind up in best of day... - FFing Enigma
*stammer* - Joe Silence
I like this one better than your current profile pic. :) - Louis Gray
rawr - Gunnybear ™
i like this photo! - Joe Silence
Louis, that one is pretty tough to beat, but this one definitely makes it a tough choice. - Josh Haley
That is an excellent picture I think. very "au natural" - Rasmus Lauridsen
bella gnocca - khenzo Ленин
ma non fate i soliti! :D - claire ™
la gnocca è gnocca ovunque - khenzo Ленин
Uè, calmi che Tina è amica mia - Roberto from iPhone
e allora sarà abituata :) - khenzo Ленин
È sposatissima - Roberto from iPhone
nessuna è perfetta - khenzo Ленин
Keep! - Micah
O HAI! - Steven Perez
OH HAI HELEN! techtechtechnotnoisetech. See, still keeping it relevent! - FFing Enigma
*maxiswoon* - Mo Kargas
So what were you coding at the time you took this pic? In BASIC, you say? How very relevant! - WoH: Minding her Steves
In fact, I was attempting to hone my photography skills, as a portion of my research on the state of the unemployed in today's economy. Very deep stuff... - FFing Enigma
I look forward to your white paper in due course. - WoH: Minding her Steves

Wow, I just saw this today, sorry I'm late. I think it's a great pic for employment profiles. You've got an utterly beautiful face, Tina, and you certainly don't look like a douche in this pic. Good luck with everything! - phil baumann
