Sam

Great new image. We like the way you 'fit' into the map, however the shadow is distracting (I think it was Maggie who suggested using a piece of foam core to direct the light in your favor so you don't lose the lovely light on you). 
Red ribbon good. 
Maybe move the red pins from the center of your chest a little to the left. 
You are evoking passport photos in a good way - can you make it more that way with out using the image?

You stopped by lock up and asked how many images you should be aiming to make a week and I think 7 is a good number, that way maybe 4 are solid and three need some refining. Just remember the more you make the more you have to choose from in your edit, versus fighting to make all the images you have made work in an edit.

I'm confused by what image you are referring to in this statement?

Sam I think we were talking about all of the new ones with the map in the background. The amount of you in the frame, the way you are centered, and looking at the camera and have a kind of serious face (can't smile in passport photos)
