I'm not saying none of the shots could be better, and if the LNC members you've mentioned want to select or provide different photos of themselves, of course they should be able to do so. But I'd be disappointed if folks chose to reject individuality in favor of "institutional" type photos that look like they could have been plucked from a corporate annual report.

I tried to do a search, but either it isn't loading for me right now, or when you search for results of a term that can't be found, it just displays a blank page rather than a notice saying it couldn't find the term.

> On the LNC page. ( https://www.lp.org/libertarian-national-committee/ [3] )Many of us paid for head shots. Moving away from that I think is a bad idea. Also, there are a lot of problems with this page from the standpoint of basic human psychology. Most of what I say below is Nov. 9th stuff, but I think correcting the pictures is a bit more pressing.

> Nick's looks real young and innocent. He reminds me of a kindergarten student in that picture. It's his picture but I suggest his pro head shot. I do think Valerie might like this one though but he convinced her to marry him so I think he is past the phase of convincing her he is credible and competent.

> That said... WHY? I now find myself involved in the task that this board shouldn't be involved in.. Micromanaging things. But at the same time, I am annoyed that staff time was spent deciding on putting these pictures here when all of the people I mentioned with "bad" pics in my opinion had professional head shots that they PAID for. Also where is Sam's? Never mind..I thought it was a broken link but it just failed to load the first time. Also, I think his picture is less than flattering compared to his head shot. I know there were others that had professional head shots. Now we have a bunch of blank spaces and many of our board members not looking very inspiring of confidence.

> e Additionally, the form of the page. Get the pictures of the people at the TOP instead of a Wall O Text mapping out all the regions. Put that below the pictures. IF someone needs to figure out their region or is interested they will look. Leave the link to the LNC reflector list at the top. Also, lose the spot where it lists the region of every member below the pictures because almost half the people listed don't have a region. Just list the region number in between the word Region and Representative where that is listed below each person's name.
