Your Main Photo - Why, What, Why Not

edited February 9 in Chit-Chat
I'm curious how people choose their primary photos. I suppose these can be important even powerful statements about ourselves or completely insignificant.

Can you explain your motivation for picking your photo?

    This one looks the most like me. I'm not hiding behind my sunglasses or motorcycle. Plus, I like the way the sunlight brings out the little glod flecks in my eyes.

    1. strong women are great
    2. neanderthal women were probably the strongest women ever
    3. I'm a palaeoanthropology nerd
    4. the caption was originally because I'm sick to death of the implication that women are supposed to aspire to be weak and feeble and the whole don't do anything strenuous or your uterus will fall out kind of thing, but I'm bored of it but have been too lazy to actually change it

    Mine's an action shot. I don't "look pretty" so there's no point in a duck-faced selfie shot; I wanted to have a picture showing that I am capable and awesome, shows off my interests, and also it's punny.

    Mines is because I used to be the size of a house and now I'm not and spend years hiding in black and baggy clothes! Now I flaunt it because I've worked my *kitten* off to achieve it and I'm damn proud!! :bigsmile:

    I went out and ran on Christmas Day! That in itself is a major achievement to me so I took a selfie mid-run!

    A while back there was a thread where MFP members created their own fitspo. This one was mine. It's a flattering picture and it reminds me how far I've come, even on bad days.

    I liked it. And it was taken on a nice sunny beach day, which is nice to remember in the snowiest December I've been here.
