I thought about using a photo of myself, but I decided, on a whim, to use this sketch instead. I do not like the way I appear in photographs. This sketch is drawn by me.
I have found that my sketch is closer to what I want my online presence to be. Leroy64 is a voice, or ghost, depending on my mood.
I answer this question actually in response to a question asked me in the comments section in my hub about how my biography was stolen. However, in terms of me using a picture of myself rather than a general picture of, say, a mountain, I say that I want people to know who I am.
It says I'm a mom, and I have a son. Or, some people think it means I'm a devoted older sister, because I do have a tiny bit of a baby face :P. One of these days I want to get a better picture that's either more professional-looking, or that has me and both my kids.
Mine is actually a picture that my younger sister took. I'm not the most gorgeous flower in the bunch in the real world, and I don't want people to judge me on my looks, but on my hubs. I want people to see my as a proficient writer, rather than that ugly girl who writes things.So I avoid using a real picture of me.
The Profile photograph was taken and posted by my younger daughter ... Because, I don't have the necessary know how to do these things ... its perhaps reflective of ... how she sees me.shahidbukhari.hubpages.com.
Mine is just like me...different. Some have found it intriguing and then went on to read my hubs. But that's not why I chose it.
I just thought it was awesome and that is my actual picture on the card.
It says that I like long hair and I don't feel I need to smile all the time.
My picture tells the truth about me. (It is a coffee cup. ) I am very busy most of the time, so I stretch my avaliable (awake) time with the help of coffee and accomplish more.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
