Earlier this week, I tweeted that I was involved in that most critical of decision-making processes: the selection of head shot photos. Recently, I had a photo shoot that I hoped would render some nice additions to my head shot images. In fact there were quite a few good options, so the challenge really derived from making the optimal choice.
