Photoinsecurity
It's funny isn't it, I've put dozens of pictures of me on the web, on my website and elsewhere. Every one of them passed my stringent personal quality control at the time of publication.
I like all my pictures.
But ask me to pick one or two that I really like, to put (say, for example, hypothetically speaking) in some kind of newspaper feature, and I find it nearly impossible. All the pictures have some minor fault that I blow out of all proportion.
I hate all my pictures.
This isn't me fishing for comments along the lines of "oh Becky you always look fantastic in every picture", by the way.
But, if you really want to do that, I won't think less of you. :-)
...
Oh yeah, and apropos of nothing, if you live anywhere near Norwich, you might want to pick up a copy of the Evening News on Friday. There's going to be a feature in it about a Norfolk tranny... maybe even with pictures.

Looking forward to seeing the paper article.
No, I don't have any helpful advice, but I want to congratulate you for Further Boosting Our Profile. Is this the website all of us non-East-Anglians should be checking?
There, is THAT better! ;-)
I guess you keep in your head some sort of image thingie of how you think you look and sound and then it's a bit of a shock when someone throws reality back in your face - it is just SO wrong!
Reality is over-rated. Deffo.
Oh, and you do look nice really.

I can't find a good picture of you either! ;)
Looking forward to seeing this article.
Show (for example) Constable's 'The Haywain' to a diverse group. Half will say it's a masterpiece. The other half will say it's just a picture of a twonk who's driven his cart into a lake.
Perfection is not a fact, it's an opinion. If everyone agreed on everything, the world would be perfect - and totally boring.
You look great in person and in the mirror, and then you see a photo and your eyes are drawn to any tiny imperfection, and the whole picture is ruined.
Have you culled your Flickr? I was going to suggest the iconic picture of you outside Kings Cross :-)
Anon: No I've not seen it myself yet, but I've heard it.
Tiffy: Yep that almost sums it up. Although just occasionally I get a pic that looks better than the idea in my head. Those are rare though!
Jessica: :-P
Vic: True.
Pandora: I don't think that pic ever made it onto Flickr. I'll have to dig it out!
Alli: Yep, forgive me for wanting to tease out this event into more than one blog entry!
