Why is this so hard? Where am I looking? Honestly, for goodness sakes, this is so stupid. The disaster you see is my best attempt at snapping my own photo for Linked In. After about 400 tries, THIS is the pinnacle. But it’s unacceptable, really. If I used this for a professional profile photo, people would never take me seriously. How much respect would one garner if they can’t figure out how to look AT the camera for a photo?

I have to agree with taking a photo of yourself is difficult. I took a speech class online and I swear I had to do it over and over.
