Expector has just changed his profile photo

I have just changed my profile photo (avatar) - this is the first time I've ever changed it!

I bet you are already familiar with my old avatar, and some of the members here (like anele) may not really want me to change it. I don't think it's a good idea to change one's profile photo frequently, but it's quite acceptable to change it from time to time. Actually, some of the members have suggested I change it. I never changed the photo because I think it may make it hard for other members to easily recognize me - I almost failed to recognize some of my friends since they changed their avatars. Do you think it would be a problem to change profile photos so often?

And, finally, I thought it was time for me to do that. So, I changed it to a photo of me (taken in Canada) - you can see my face now. I'm not sure if I look just like what you imagined. You may say it doesn't matter the way I look since you never judge by apprearances which can be deceptive. I'm in my late 40s, and 178cm tall. I hope I didn't ruin the nice image of me (in your imagination).

Do you enjoy change? Some people fear it. Sometimes, however, we do something just for a change. Now is the beginning of 2012, don't you think it's time for a change?

I'd like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy new year! Happy 2012!

Thanks Fahime!

Maybe I should have used my face as my avatar (profile picture). That's a long story!

I did it just for a change! In fact, some members wanted me to change it back!

Hi Robbie,

Thanks so much for the comment! I'm pleased you gave it the thumbs up. I don't really mind whether a member shows his/her face or not. But be sure to use a pleasant profile photo with or without your appearance because sometimes people do judge by one's image!

Hi Mr. Expector,

It's nice to finally see you! You looked really decent with your new profile photo. Of course, you didn't ruin your image here in EC. How did you feel using your own photo as an avatar? I bet you experienced excitement....

In my opinion, it's better to use our own photo as an avatar, because we are representing our identity (and culture) as an EC member. Two thumbs up for this awesome blog! : )
