Stan had me take a bunch of pictures of him to use for his upcoming book. We chose the ten best photos...and then we ran out of decision making brain cells, so can we use yours?

1 – 200 of 465 Newer› Newest»#4 - Definitely my favorite one! Can't wait to see the book!!
Michelle Jones - sandmjones@yahoo.com
I like #5 the best. I like the contrast in color, and I like Stan's expression the best. kelgilchrist at netzero.net
Number 1
# 5 is the best one.. Plus I.love tge background of the orange trees..
The fourth one. :) summer901@gmail.com
I like #4!
I liked the Facebook page! (forever ago! lol)
I like # 3
and i liked the fb page already
Oh, I guess I'd vote for #5. However, for a book I'd think you'd want a more "contemplative" look with perhaps a hint of being amused. Stan does a great scholarly look! I want to see more options! =)
#1 or #4 (white shirt rather than blue shirt).
Definitely #4-deep rich contrasting colors & a great confident smile. Looks warm & friendly.
marciabang@gmail.com
Yup! #3 is it. Very friendly looking!
I am trying to control my excitement that Stan has written a book. I am guessing it is about weight and fat loss.... how cool is that =) While #2 is out, numbers 4 and 5 are great! I love the fruit trees in the background!
I like #4
I like his expression and the angle on his face. The orange tree is a nice background, too. I might brighten up the color a tad in Photoshop, though.

Hmmm....tough one, but I'll have to go with #1.
Unquestionably #3!!!

I like picture #5 the best because his face isn't in the shadows like the other ones. I also like #2 with the sideways angle.

I like #3, but there are shadows on his head and shirt. If you could do that pose again without shadows I think it would be perfect. Otherwise I'm drawn to #5.
5 all the way. The orange tree is a great california background.
Yeah, that's main problem with 1-4. Shadows so lower contrast. They need a fill flash or a reflector. I agree, putting the smile from #3 on #5 would be perfect, lol.
I like #5. Stan's smile looks great and the blue shirt looks nice against the orange tree.
I like numbers 6 and 10 - Dale

Not knowing anything about the book (or the author), I'm a completely unbiased opinion. I like #3 and #7 .. but would probably go with #7 as it evokes a seriousness and confidence of a guy who knows what he's talking about :)
nicole@babyfoodscoops.com
I think #10 is the best. I would definitely trust what that guy says ;-)
I had three favorites, but I am going to have to go with #10.
