Title: Websites - Personal Pic - Yay or Nay

On one hand it is always nice to put a face with a place and on the other hand it seems it can be a bit self restricting (eg: that guy does not look like he would be into my music!). Just wondering what others mindset are on this and why you chose to either have or forgo a personal picture. I just updated some photo's on my site and am currently debating if a picture of myself helps or hurts. Thanks in advance for the input.

The personal touch is generally a good thing.

After all we're not just robots.

Plus with a pic, a client might know if they want to attend the session or not!

Possibly sitting for hours with an Behemoth Ogre ME :-)

shows you are proud of who you are and what you do.

Post by: Hermetech Mastering on April 05, 2011, 07:56:37 AM: I don't have one on my web site. Never really considered why. If I could find a photo of myself that I really liked, I might do it, but I am very camera shy and unphotogenic!

That's a good shot--shows a lot of the comfort of the room and the tumbler half full of vodka.

It's NOT vodka!

It's moonshine.

Post by: Waltz Mastering on April 07, 2011, 01:28:31 AM: I have one of these screwed into each side of the console.
Although it has to be a certain type and modded a little further to fit over sized drinks.

Post by: SafeandSoundMastering on April 07, 2011, 04:16:59 AM: They look good for cans but not so good for English tea cups, lol.
I need at least 4/5 cups a day.

Post by: Millice on April 11, 2011, 01:28:47 PM: haha pretty sure I'd be sacrificed to the God's if my boss caught me with a drink on his console. scary to even think about.

Post by: bblackwood on April 11, 2011, 01:34:07 PM: My boss is pretty flexible about stuff like that...

I actually almost had an incident about a month ago, so now my glass resides by my monitor...
