    There is something about that last photograph - something so very stylish.

    Those two last pics have a certain hollywood-ish head shot allure to them. Very nice!!

    I agree -- very Hollywood-friendly. However, the last photo seems to have the "flattering" look of a passport or drivers license compared to the other photos.

    Great photos. I've probably said so before, but you really look like your mother when she was younger.

    Thanks Andrew! I look into the mirror sometimes and startle myself, between looking like Mom and her two sisters. My cousin freaks out because she says I look like HER mom!
