Narcissuspello

Thinking of changing my "official" Internet photo from this (taken in 2004 or so):

F. Lennox Campello 2004

To this, taken a few weeks ago:

F. Lennox Campello 2008

Crooked nose courtesy of a bar fight at the Texas bar in Naples, Italy a long time ago... any comments???

um, well, i like the idea of updating a dated a photo, but unless you are trying to toughen up your image with the kris kristofferson (sic) dui mug shot aesthetic, i would keep searching for a better picture. (of course, you look loads better than the kk police mug - i'm speaking to the technique here!)

Lenny,
I like the first one, second one is too much like a perp shot. I need another choice. Perhaps an arty shot with interesting lighting.

Just photoshop a few horizontal black lines in the background, and you're good to go! The mug shot notion will create a sexy sense of danger.

I also like the idea of an update - and eye contact, but the new one is a bit mugshot-like. Another choice would be good.

this should be an 'opportunity for artists' - create the new portrait of Lenny Campello. The Daily Campello could randomly switch out portraits to keep fresh the title block

I like the new you, but agree it's a little "muggish"

ps congrats on going national

My vote is for the earlier photo.

And, while I'm here, I greatly enjoy your site - it's one of my daily must-reads.

Real tight. One rogue-ish eye. One charming smile. And a very good moustach. Don't need the hat.
