I'm trying to portray myself as a serious author (a stretch, I know).
That said, the mug shot is intended to emulate the Patrick McGoohan publicity photo that he used as a file photo for No. 6 on The Prisoner. |

^I'd buy a book from him.
Pull the camera up a little and use a zoom lens (you'll get a better detph of field for a portrait). A little talc to cut down the shine helps too. I do like the black and white, but I'm a sucker for '50s and '60s aesthetic. |

I've always loved turtles, from the time my parents moved out of the city when I was 4 and I found one in the wooded lot next door.
And I'm likely to be of two minds on any given subject. |

I like Dragons, and my Brother drew the picture for me.
