the new official portrait

William F. DeVaultOkay, it’s time I updated my official headshot.  I took a shot with my camera phone two weeks ago on my birthday, blacked out/mottled the background, filtered the contrast to make it a bit more dramatic…and VOILA!

Yes, it looks a little surreal, but it is recognizably me.  A weird quirk of the light obscures my hairline (I still have the same hairline i had in high school) because of the whitening of my hair (not greying, whitenening).  I look a little rough, but I hadn’t shaved that day.  I wanted sort of an anti-glamour shot.  I’m a writer, not a model, not a beauty queen, not a pinup.

Still not completely sold on the new glasses frame, though…
