Agreed.
I like your current photo – based on your writing, it looks like I expect you to look!

Who cares if your current physical envelope is a little different now?

I think it is a great picture.

I think the dark (basically black) background adds to the “mystery”!!

You could give us an unobstructed full view of your face, but then convert it to about a dozen pixels. But then you run the risk that someone might try to “fill in the missing data” and who knows what that result might be!

I’m referring to that old thing about how your body replaces its cells every seven or so years. Does anyone here know what I am referring to?

I’ve gone through that process with friendly people. It’s a lot harder than you might think. And it takes many more tries than that. The timing is a big problem. Plus I need the feedback of seeing the viewer as the photo is taken, or there would be a lot more than 50 tries necessary. A lot.
