Self Portrait

I'm wondering how this might fly...a self portrait, in any media ( photo, CG, etc) as a way for members to indruce themselves.

The idea, since this IS a wallpaper site, is a portrayal of the subject (you) engaged in a favorite activity, posing with or in a favorite vehicle, or something else that is a statement of who you are.

Mind you this is about portraits, not collages, or abstracts which conceptually represent your spirit, your essence, etc. so the intent of this is to in some way produce your likeness and have it as the main focus of the picture.

For those who are camera shy, or otherwise opposed to this, a simple no thank you will do.

I moved Cat's image to the appropriate gallery. We don't usually archive self protraits but it was probably missed due to being in the "digital" section.

just a guess, but it was'just another picture'...not saying that deroggatorily, just that, i think all pic's not selected to a permanent gallery undergo the same process...someone check me on this? what i was/am suggesting is a separate, permanent item on the site..a 'who's who' if you will

actually .. perhaps the ability to upload a single 800x600 image linked on your profile page might be a better solution .. a personal photo is just a "putting a face with the name" kinda thing so it doesn't really need to be any bigger than that .. and it would either be there, or not, on the people who's profile pages you are visiting anyway either to say thanks for the support or to check other pertinant facts, like, name, age, etc ...

just my 27 cents

Ahh...I think I see what you mean by a "who's who" page. I remember a while back another member suggested a family photo section - there would be a link on our user info page to this section with pics of self and families and those images would never be archived or deleted, but they wouldn't appear in the perms either.

But...but..it had a c-index of 54 *cries* *steals an emoticon* 8•( Oh well...it wasn't a current one anyway - I've changed a lot since it was taken.

Edit - Keifer's post appeared when I was typing this. I like that idea also - sort of like the family section thing.
