In the mad dash to get everything in order for Grad schools I realized I have no head shots that look anything like me, so I bought a 20 dollar tripod and walked over to the lake to take some pictures.
This was the result:
It’s not professional or anything but I like it quite a bit. I’m now off to the photo lab to see how well it prints.
(If you’re curious you can click on the one above and download the whopping 2mb version I’m going to try to get printed.)
Update: I just go back from CVS and I have to say I’m really impressed. The prints turned out simply fantastic. The only way you can tell the picture was digital is a little spot where I cut the mask wrong to fake the depth of field right around my ear. Anyone who says 1.2 Megapixels isn’t enough for an 8×10 is a dirty liar!
Thanks to pOps for the hints on how to set things up in photoshop.
Looks Fabo, Ian. Great Job!
Looking sharp, Slim. And knock ‘em dead at the auditions!
Ian,
You are a beautiful man. Seriously. I LOVE this picture. Break a leg with Grad school auditions. and also.. Darcy and I have been meaning to just call or email to say hello! and also let you know that now that we are getting more settled in NYC, we are opening up the invitations to our friends to visit, so let us know if you want to come to NY sometime!

That’s a nice font you used. What is it?
Arial Black if I recall correctly.
