Hehe so true! (Does this mean you’re thinking about the author photo for your own book, hmm?)
Interesting question lisa.
I guess Doug will use the picture from the “About”-section or something similar for his book.
Any book news yet, Doug?
&=^
I think Doug will go for the pimp cane. Which is going to look pretty silly with the plaid shirt, but what can you do?
definitely, since it looks nothing like the author, i’d choose the glam shot.
unless it is a children’s book, then i’d do the candid shot. children can see the truth anyway.
What about the Shel Silverstein “scare the little kids” look?
The hand-on-chin looks more like a “finger” scratching the chin thoughtfully.
HA! Love the candid shot.
Doug will go for the candid shot for sure ๐ ๐ Probably taken on a monday or somtehing ๐
Heheh maybe I should try all five of these and let everybody vote.
@Michelle, you’re right – clearly i need a plaid pimp cane!
@Luwano, not much new to report on the book yet, although it looks like it’s going to be mostly new cartoons!
I think I’ve tried one of each of those for my various books! They all mutated into disturbingly candid, seeing as I’m naturally eccentric.
I think Terry Pratchet’s done all of those… though when he had the hat, he definitely fell into #5.
If you want my opinion, go for #1, with the cane.
Of course, the last one refers to the author photo of Robert Jordan, including the pimp-cane. What he was going for on that photo is beyond me. Excentric, is the word. ๐
Really nice !!
Ha! That eccentric one looks mysteriously like Dan Piraro!
This one really made me laugh (not that I don’t love all your other works!) and stuck with me as I indeed couldn’t think of a single author pose that wouldn’t fit into that pattern.
Funny enough, I just got asked to submit an “author shot” of myself the other day and I kept worrying about which cliche I’m going to inevitably fall under. Turns out the best “outside the box” idea I could come up with was to just crop a close up of a picture I took when I was vacationing this summer. Obviously, I just ended up being the second savage chicken ๐
