How to take your own profile photo with a point and shoot

We have a palaver with photographer Christina Gressianu about ways to improve your profile picture for use on sites like Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook. ———————————————————– Art Palaver is all about helping artists sell art. Paintings, sculptures, pottery, music, books, photographs, you name it, if it falls into the realm of art or creative expression Art Palaver is here to show you the path to building your fan base and selling your art. Because the more art you can sell, the more art you can create. My name is Daryle Dickens and I started Art Palaver in 2006 as a companion blog to an artist webzine I was publishing at the time. (You can find the archive here.) I believe that every person is creative and we would all be better off if everyone worked on their creative potential. The belief fuels everything that I do. Most of the time I focus on selling art outside of the gallery system and in the realm of self promotion. And finding ways to do it with little or no money. I myself enjoy creating and I am always working on finding personal creative outlets. I do that here on Art Palaver by experimenting with the blog platform and design as well as creating audio podcasts and video blogs. If I am not hunched over my computer working to make Art Palaver better I like to dabble in photography, fiction writing, oil painting, and mixed media pop art. If your interested you can see what I am up to on my personal blog www.daryledickens.com …
