Wowza, that's a *fabulous* picture!

[identity profile] snurri.livejournal.com 2008-01-13 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'm pretty happy with it, for once. I'm glad I got a professional to make me look good :-)

that is a really spiff picture. Except for the watch. who wears watches? ;)

[identity profile] snurri.livejournal.com 2008-01-13 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh, true; but I was actually glad the watch got in there, it's got a lot of sentimental meaning for me.

It's a really, really good photo. You look modern yet timelessly Authorial. And ladies go crazy for a sharp-dressed man with a watch.

We'll see about that last bit :-P But thanks!

I was wondering if maybe you'd like to go out with me sometime?

[identity profile] snurri.livejournal.com 2008-01-13 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Not without a signed permission slip from Dr. Lisa.

Thanks, Pam!

That's an excellent picture! Hardly dorky at all, very authorial.

There's a compliment in there somewhere, and I'm seizing it.

:-P

That's a gorgeous picture. I think it captures the Dave that a lot of us see, which is a tough trick for photographers--people usually look so different in pictures.

She took a ton of photos of him and in most of them really captured his personality. She is terrific!

Looks good to me. Also it is a good likeness, which is not exactly the same thing but is also important.

[identity profile] snurri.livejournal.com 2008-01-13 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I guess? It looks like me, although not exactly the me I see in the mirror. I have no complaints, though.

Hey, it's a great picture! I was hoping for something more Truman Capote-ish, but this one is just as good.

[identity profile] snurri.livejournal.com 2008-01-13 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not so good with hats. I wish I could pull off hats, but I have an exceptionally large head.

Good pic, mate.

Thanks!

Whatever happened to your hair-growth pics? Is that as long as you let it get?

That's a nice photo. I spend a lot of time thinking about what my bookjacket photo would be, much more than I spend thinking about, oh, writing a book.

[identity profile] snurri.livejournal.com 2008-01-13 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh; well, you've got classes and work and stuff. Those proportions will correct themselves eventually.

[identity profile] rnb.livejournal.com 2008-01-13 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Nice picture, but I don't think you look angry enough. You need a sneer, or a tattoo, or an AK-47.

[identity profile] snurri.livejournal.com 2008-01-13 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I figured we'd Photoshop the automatic weapons in later.

[identity profile] kameron-hurley.livejournal.com 2008-01-13 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Damn. You look, like, all adult and stuff!

[identity profile] snurri.livejournal.com 2008-01-13 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, THAT'S not right. :-)

[identity profile] wheatland-press.livejournal.com 2008-01-13 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Very nice.

Do you know the whole symmetry (or lack thereof) theory of why we look funny to ourselves in photos? Because faces aren't realy symmetrical and we're used to looking in the mirror, whereas photos capture that mirror image as flipped. I'm not explaining this well...

[identity profile] snurri.livejournal.com 2008-01-13 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I get what you're saying, and it makes sense. I did spend a tiny bit of time wondering if I had a "best side," and I think this must be it.

[identity profile] rudi.livejournal.com 2008-01-13 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that is a nice one, both in itself and as an author photo -- I think it's something about the eyes (and the hands, watch included).

Of course, something a little more cape and tights might be more appropriate for the upcoming book... There's always Photoshop, I suppose ;)

[identity profile] snurri.livejournal.com 2008-01-13 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I like having the hands in there. Not sure why that makes a difference, but it does.

RE: tights. No way, mister. :-P

[identity profile] darinbradley.livejournal.com 2008-01-13 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Pimp!

As they say.

DISCLAIMER: I am not a pimp.

But thanks :-)

Nice photo! You have successfully avoided all of the author photo traps by neither frowning nor smiling. Way to go, Mona Lisa.

Also, nice sweater, Mona Lisa. You look snazzy.

Perfect author photo.

Yeah, it ain't bad! Thanks!

Very writer-ly, and would look perfect on a glossy jacket. Neat!

That's a great pic. Yes, do use it for your author photo.

[identity profile] snurri.livejournal.com 2008-01-14 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks! I think I shall :-)

Lookin' sharp! I guess your mom was lying in that poll...

[identity profile] snurri.livejournal.com 2008-01-14 02:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks!

I confronted my Mom, and she said you guys were lying about that. NOT COOL.

[identity profile] jlundberg.livejournal.com 2008-01-14 08:51 am (UTC)(link)
Nice. Very authory.

[identity profile] snurri.livejournal.com 2008-01-14 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Author-y seems appropriate. Thanks!
