I found out last week that I won an Award of Merit from our industry organization – yes – The Door & Hardware Institute – for a building code presentation I did a while back. I thought it was pretty cool until I realized that I would have to supply a photo of myself for the convention program, signage, and wherever else they want to plaster my face.
My two most recent head shots were 1) a selfie after a couple of Blood Orange Cosmos, or 2) taken by Ben in our front yard when I only blow-dried the front of my hair since the rest wouldn’t show anyway. That created a problem because I hate having my picture taken, especially when a whole bunch of people will see it.
Since I really like the woman who asked for the photo, I made an appointment at Portrait Simple and bravely faced the lens. I’m shocked to say that a few of the pictures came out ok. As I was comparing them on the computer to decide which one to send in, Ben zoomed in on my eyes and then sincerely asked, “Isn’t there cream for that?” Nice.
