Freeze Frame:

I’ve always thought of myself as the world’s least photogenic person. The picture you see here (taken, with skill, by one Ms. Mena Trott) is the only nice picture of me in existence.

Until today…

Rannie, who is now an unqualified master, took some phat photos of me at SXSW. At least half of these make me look way hot. I’ve got at least half a dozen here I’d feel ok, like, showing to someone.

Which are your favorites?

  5. Actually #25 looks like you’re up to no good.
    #28 looks like a promo shot, the kind they’d use to promote a “happy new tenant” at a hip new high rise. If you ever write a motivational book, consider using that shot. (“Kevin Smokler has been lecturing about the ins and outs of the publishing industry since 2002. His latest book ‘Let the Ink Flow Freely’ is on sale at independent book stores everywhere.”)
    Sorry to say but in your glasses you look like a professor drunk on the power to pass or fail your nervous freshmen.
