Aneirin -> A picture is worth a thousand words (1/11/2009 4:14:01 AM)

On the subject of profile pictures, who here is fastidious about the pictures they use on this website or indeed any website?
A picture is worth a thousand words, and perhaps more besides in some cases, some pictures more information can be gleaned than perhaps was intentional. Maybe it is the photographer in me, but I am critical about my images, what appears in a background and what does not, for I am aware of what can be conveyed other than what is intended.
Where a background is beyond control, I am aware of how it can distract and will in the editing stage make efforts to reduce it's impact, but I was wondering about others on here that have posted photographs, do you think about what information you put across when you post a photograph ?
Of other's images, perhaps it is a source of amusement to me what information can be found from an image other than a person's likeness, a messy background perhaps, that of an untidy room, I feel I can picture the photograph being taken, a picture like that perhaps shows an honesty as it seems untidy rooms are common with humans.
As an aside, in movies and such, I notice errors of continuity and feel that when a background shows a timepiece, these movies are generally spot on in continuity, perhaps it is the director inserts a timepiece to demonstrate their skill in getting it right, or even as a guide to themselves to get it right, but often it is a timepiece is displayed in a back ground, especially where there is ongoing dialogue crucial to the plot. An eye for detail, or lack of interest in the story, whatever.
