Tricks of Light

[catelin]

I've been asked a couple of times now if some of the icon photos I use are from a long time ago. The question always shocks me because I wouldn't ever have even thought of doing that. For one, I tend to like the way I look better as I get older (minus the few bothersome wrinkles and sags, mind you!). Second, I'm not nearly that tricky. I had no idea that people really even did stuff like that at all!! So for anyone else who might be wondering, all of the icon photos (and any others with the exception of my super 70s photo) I have were taken in the last year. The only reason I can think of that some look different than others is likely due to lighting and/or the fact that I was wearing makeup in some and not others. I dunno. And why am I even writing about this? Well, vanity, I suppose....and the feeling that I need to defend my honor! Heh! I really was aghast to think that anyone would think I was doing that. Oh, and this one (taken shortly before I moved from my old house)...it's because...well....just because I owe someone.
