		<description>I think you feel that using photos is cheating because it&#039;s a static image, locking that person into on particular place and time. two-dimensionally, even, so a huge part of the work is &quot;done&quot; for you.  

I would imagine that it makes it easier, in some ways, since you don&#039;t have to worry about the subject moving. But at the same time, you lose a lot of the nuance, the life...when you were sketching me, I remember that there was some conversation going on, so you had little micro-expressions flitting across my face as I listened to the conversation. to me, that adds more of the person into the image...there is more room for interperation.

As for my lack of pictures...I take terrible pictures. No, really! I wash out so much in most pictures that I don&#039;t look like myself. I also tend to make odd, strained faces. 

If you&#039;d like to help me ammend my lack of pictures...you know where I live. :) I&#039;d be honored if you did more sketches of me.</description>
