Which picture from the Chicago Pipe Show should I use?

 

[voorhees]

Top picture is cool, but you have a pipe in the bottom shot and that alone makes it better.

 

[gtrhtr]

That vest is hilarious. I vote #1.

 

[jpmcwjr]

Both!

 

[pylorns]

Reguardless of which you choose, both are excellent pictures - props to the photographer!

Go with the pipe. The side lighting makes you look very mysterious.

 

[shorbagy]

Cool and nice picture..

 

[puffy]

Bottom..Bottom..Bottom..Bottom..Bottom

 

[tennsmoker]

Go with the bottom photo. Gives you the sophisticated outdoorsy look!

 

[jmill208]

Bottom.

Although I like the whimsy in the top photo, you don't look too happy to be wearing that hat. You look happier in the bottom photo, probably because you're smoking a pipe! So my vote is for the bottom photo.

 

[philobeddoe]

The bottom is a better photo of you, the top one looks like you lost a bet!

 

[jerwynn]

Which photo more accurately represents your personality? (Or your self-image of your self-perception) Perhaps an extremely high end artisanal pipe could be photoshopped into the top photo and give you the best of both worlds! Just sayin'...

 

[tbradsim1]

You look happy with the pipe.

The bottom image; it is an excellent portrait.

It really depends, do you want to come across as fun and friendly, or someone who is very serious? I vote for fun. But, you do some important work in the pipe world, so you may want people to take you seriously at times.

I think I'll vote for "fun" as well. I use my company logo for mine. We at Nate like to portray a sense of professionalism to hide the fact we aren't a "we" or a company of any kind

 

[jacks6]

oh man, that hat!

Bottom image. Like the pipe and the lighting.
