Thinking of changing my "official" Internet photo from this (taken in 2004 or so):
To this, taken a few weeks ago:
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!)
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

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

ReplyDeleteI like the new you, but agree it's a little "muggish"
ReplyDeleteps congrats on going national
My vote is for the earlier photo.

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