ses in pictures, aka, the back of my head
Just back from SES NY. Had a great time meeting new people and saying hi to those I’ve met before, but I’ve been browsing pictures, and I’ve noticed a disturbing trend. Apparently, the most photogenic side of me is the back of my head. Some of the pictures are even labeled as such: “This is the back of Vanessa’s head.” Others are simply labeled with my name, as though the back of me is just what I look like, and I suppose it is, if you’re behind me. Some pictures of me don’t even have me in them, so I suppose the back of me is at least an improvement.
Of course, pictures of the back of my head aren’t always bad, especially when they give me plausible deniability. Perhaps that’s actually the back of someone else’s head.
I would say that since cameras seem to have the ability to only capture the back of me, that must mean that I’m very industrious and hard-working, always on the go and all of that. But as most of these pictures seem to have been taken at parties, I doubt you’ll believe me.
Well, we would have gotten more pictures of your face (at least I would have) if you were there Thursday night. So sorry you couldn’t make it. That was the best I could do in the absence of anything better.
My “Vanessa wins a bout” image was meant to capture the reaction of your adoring fans
haha Rebecca. They adored me until I lost and disagraced their workplace. Heh.
Tamar, I know! I’m sorry I missed it. And I kind of have a fondness for the “back of my head” series.
I’ll keep that in mind for next time. We could have a lot of fun with this.
You are always rushing about - it just shows no one is ever fast enough to catch you standing still…
lol “plausable deinability” maybe if the following picture wasn’t of your face wearing the same shirt =)No Vanessa you can’t get away from it, you were downing those tequilas at a quick rate!
Gutted I couldn’t make SES NY, trying to get tickets for SMX Seattle. Will you be there?
Heh.
I’ll definitely be there!
Vanessa,
You did not just bring up taking your picture….?
LOL
I hope you saw this one of you. It’s fantastic! You look fabulous!

Sorry about the long url.
Haha. You of all people know how difficult it is to get a decent picture of the front of me. I should have you take all my pictures. You are an excellent photographer.
[...] you get a blog post out of it! Which was another point the audience kept coming back to. How can you turn things around [...]
