Picture processing
Humans are visual beings. They use their eyes to supplement other senses to process a full picture about a person, place, or thing. Descriptions are useful, but they don't always produce an image.
One week ago, I changed my profile photo from a set of eyes to a head shot. It was time for a change, and I didn’t feel like I could answer the What the hell do you look like? question without popping a vein first.
But, for some reason, there were more profile views than normal – like, over 300 per cent more. All for a little head.
And, I had to wonder why. Does the photo make a difference in the person that I am? Have I changed in any way? Did I get more interesting? Smarter? Funnier? Popular?
No, I think it was because my head filled in a part of me that was missing. Literally.
God forbid if I had put a shot of my ass up there, 'cause that would start a whole other round of questions.

what profile? blogger?
Well, sometimes a little head is all it takes to clear things up.
Let us know when you're going to do that. **eg**
Both shots that you used (hat & full face) are very good shots. Well composed.
lol at Jason's comment....well I just added one more, since I had to check you out....nice head_shot! ;)
it shouldn't matter, but curiosity is a strange and demanding thing.
yeah, God only knows what would have been filled in if your ass was up there ...
I thought the other guy was Johnny Depp. Dude, you were good in Benny & Joon.
I wanna see the ass shot. You have my email.
NSSG: Yup, Blogger.
JUS: Oh Lord...
Lemuel: Thanks. I'll be sure to tell Ms. Leibowitz.
Skitzzee: True, people are curious. Everyone likes a freak show.
Six: A flash of denim, maybe?
MR: You mean, you didn't like my scottish lilt in Finding Neverland?
Jeff: True. And, this photo isn't 10 years old (I would've been a teenager, still).
Timmy: You won't be getting any ass shots from me.
Oh cmon, I'm with Timmy or at least do a HNT.
Yeah. Do it.
Nice ass! Er, oh, that's your face?
Thanks for the card, btw. I'm only kidding. Now I know what to stalk when I'm in TO next.
Jason and TBL: How's about a ankle, or a foot? No socks, I promise.
Jetboy: Woo hoo! You got the joke I was going for. To. The. Tee.
hey mate, i agree, i can relate and trust a full face more. And it doesn't hurt that your face is a very nice one to look at!
300 percent more all for a little head? Just imagine if you GAVE a (big)head.
