The impression your dp sends can be a lasting thing...

I don't know jack about quantum mechanics, or electromagnetic field theory, but I sure know how to connect dots, and what intolerance smells like. So IMHO, half the criticisms on here about girls using mobile photography to do their photos up are derisive and intolerant, especially when we all use one of those.

In fact, I don't get it! With all of today's absolutely free selfie-camera apps, sent from heaven to make everyone look so radiant regardless, you upload a profile pic or dp, looking like you're ecologically disappointed? That kinda bizzare naturality is uncalled for. Well, except if you're an adherent to a fatwa that proscribes it.

If you're not photogenic, don't despair; take twenty-ten shots and choose one; if The One sucks, use the filters, that's what they're meant for. Truth is, human beings are visual creatures, so it shouldn't hurt to make use of this contemporary miracle and make your first social media impression count; it can influence a lot, and in knowing that you may not get a second chance.
