Footprints in the Sand
One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there was one only.
This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord,
“You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?”
The Lord replied, “The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you.”

this is obviously just a joke, but just in case you decide to DYI headshots. here are a few pointers.
1. choose a good background, something that will contrast what you are wearing.
2. use sufficient lighting to eliminate harsh shadow, flashes and strobes are the best.
3. try to use a zoom lens and and focus on the eyes.
4. use a 3/4 pose, it is the most popular and pleasing.
