[Lnc-business] photos for LNC at LP.org

Wes, Robert:

Just took my first peek at the new LNC Leadership page. My comments below were in reference to the old, outdated LNC Leadership page.

Reiterating, I would like my trademark professional picture used on the LNC Leadership page even though it is more than just a head shot. Again, my professional picture was available on the old LNC Leadership page by clicking on my old, outdated casual picture taken when I was a young lad of 73 - ☺. I do NOT want my old, outdated casual picture used on the new LNC Leadership page.

Also, please include my full name, David Pratt Demarest, on the LNC Leadership page.

Regards,
~David Pratt Demarest

Wes, great pics – I like the “P8” shot of you best.

If you click on my “casual” headshot on the LNC leadership page, it brings up my professional picture. I understand that headshots are preferred but I prefer my professional “more than a headshot” pic and would like to have it used to replace my casual pic on the LNC page.

Thoughts?

Wes you look great in those photos. Thanks for pointing this out. I was lucky to get senior portraits taken this year. I'll send you some as soon as I buy a couple of digital copies with the photographer's watermark is removed.

I haven't mentioned it yet this term, but I expect all LNC members to be polite and civil to one another as well as to staff. Insults such as the above will not be tolerated. ;)
On a serious note, if anyone on the board needs a professional headshot and takes Wes's very good advice, send the receipt to Robert Kraus and I'll approve the expense for up to $200.

If we don't have a professional photo for you, go here to find your nearest JC Penney's, http://www.jcpportraits.com/<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.jcpportraits.com_&d=CwMFaQ&c=ewHkv9vLloTwhsKn5d4bTdoqsmBfyfooQX5O7EQLv5TtBZ1CwcvjU063xndfqI8U&r=POfq57_C0OM3236VPm9_N_9MhP1EEP_0raNPnh6qDnw&m=diA04nTR9miRNy5scTZ3U4jDU4eGDMznpA6uqGMC2h8&s=S89WR4rlxSVw--2G6qP2UwtIgh93q5At4BCjGKfkqQE&e=> and schedule a session before the Christmas rush. They are not busy at all on most weekdays if you can go then. You can probably get an appointment the same day you call.

Your first priority should be to ask for a white background because that is flexible for most things we use your photo for. If you want to take a few extra minutes, you can change your shirt and tie and/or get another photo with a more elegant background.

If you are really strapped for cash, I think you can buy just 1 photo for about $40, or three for about $70. I went ahead and paid $109.98 for the whole set, which I was able to download and use for anything I want in the future (I paid for these myself).

I hope that helps.

Thanks for the laugh this morning at your photo descriptions Daniel, lol...   :-D

But seriously, that's kinda what I like about some of the pictures – they help people come across as the diverse individuals we are. 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.

Good catch on noticing that the LNC Policy Manual is missing from the new site, if that is the case. 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.

I have not looked very hard yet, but even at 5 am central in the morning the website is godawful slow to load.  That's not a bitch, consider that informational purposes.

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.

Arvin's looks surprised like someone just told him he got selected to represent the school in the spelling bee and responded with. "REALLY? ME?!!!"

Alicia's picture has her looking away and you can't see her eyes. She looks occupied.  Its not as bad as the others but once again... Pro Head shot.

Bill's picture is the one that caught my attention with this initially.  Bill looks pissed off. He might have been pissed off.  I feel ya Bill...I get pissed off a lot too like I will be in my next email after this one to the list.  That said..NOT the picture to use. Pro head shot

I think Larry's is a decent one but why not use a Pro head shot if he has one for consistency.

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.
Let's include a place for people's phone numbers that want those included.  Mine is 504-258-6176<tel:504-258-6176>.

Also where is the link to the Policy manual these days? I used to be able to find it by going to this page.  It doesn't seem to be listed here anymore and doesn't seem to be in with the bylaws.
