Running both a business and a campaign calls for frugal measures. Hence, the head shot taken in our kitchen against a blue background tacked to the wall, will have to suffice. I picked one out of many, and in spite of Darren's efforts and expertise, I looked less than official in quite a few. Close ups remind me that I am 57 even though my last Dr. Oz "Real Age" test put me at 48.
The head shot is an interesting phenomenon. I wonder when the rest of the body got hacked out, or is that off, when applying for jobs, posting for a "professional" website or, as in this case, running for office. I'm not sure that I object to the head shot. After all, I have "Beekman" girl ankles and the knees are not what you would call pretty. No offense intended to those few Beekman women who inherited differently or married into the position.
I imagine it's the brain most people are after when picking a candidate for office, so the head shot does give you a picture of the outside package. Nah, that brain thing doesn't really seem to prove true as much lately. Maybe it's the eyes people want to see. Trustworthiness probably shows through the eyes. It's been said, I don't remember by whom, that the eyes are the "mirrors to the soul". Maybe that's why we do "head shots." Whatever the reason, I cropped one of Darren's pictures this morning and saved it to my desk top. I'm sending it to my sister Ruthie who is working on my cards.
I would share it with you today, but you will have to wait. I like this picture much better...

Now that's a head shot!
