stupidly hard and overwhelming...

...was the choosing of new headshots. since i asked for opinions, i got them. and they were ALL different. ALL over the place. but sarita pointed out to me recently that i neglected to actually share the outcome with anyone. so here goes....

I think it will be this one and in color:



I also got this one as a second choice (or as dave and i like to call it, the 'thank you so much for purchasing my brilliant first novel' headshot):



and finally, I decided to fork over the bucks and buy a third image (there were two included with the shoot) and go with this one in case I ever record my own album. dave and i think that it's a pretty good album cover shot. i think it makes me look a bit old. but perhaps it's time to get over that. it also perhaps looks a bit more like the person who writes all these weird songs about childhood friends being abducted into the woods and old crotchety men who throw themselves down wells and little girls who unknowingly drown puppies:
