I would have sent the link earlier to you, but we've been a little covered up - drowning in entries! I think we just went over our highest number of entries ever for the juried show! Since it was a postmark deadline, they are still coming in. We're very much looking forward to having you - in perfect company with our spring roster. And, for what it's worth, I don't have a good recent portrait of myself either! - Very best, Leslie Hi Jen!

I am off to have a look. Forgetting to be self-conscious! Unthinkable! Joe, o how you make me laff. I can't take a decent photo to save my life. Not of my dog, a pretty sunset or a nice streetscape. I can't imagine snapping a good one of myself. And, um... I actually don't own a camera. Oh, the absurdity. Lia that project sounds cool… I am off to have a look. Forgetting to be self-conscious!

Then there's no embarrassment as you pretend to laugh at witty remarks and smile thoughtfully and do your seductive eyebrow-raising thing. It'll take a couple hundred shots, but you'll get one you can actually stand.

You might want to get the kids behind the <a href="http://www.surfaceofearth.org/photobooth/photobooth.html" rel="nofollow">Photo-Silhouette Booth</a> to set up for you, I saw it in action at the ITP Winter Show in December (I'm an alum) and it was really amazing to see how quickly people forgot to be self-conscious when they were in it, and how lively the resulting portraits turned out.
