No Apr 1, 2024

No, my photo is 10 years old. I don't have a good photo that is more recent. I have gotten used to finding out that people's photos are 20, 30 or 40 years old... when by their photo they can't be older than 25 but then you meet them for the first time and discover that they're 1-2 years away from retirement.

It depends on the site. I don't always use the same image.

My photo on non-business-related social media is more or less recent. The one I use on ProZ and LinkedIn is extremely dated, since I can't be bothered to have a new one taken, and the one I use on Facebook is not exactly of the "professional businessperson" kind.

my own photo, plus of my whole family and all my friends

And I also never forget to make it known when I'll be out of the country for days ...

I am old and I display recent photos like here, indeed I change it from time to time, no need to appear younger

I have to say that I'm quite jealous, as you always look both professional and approachable in your pics, which is no mean feat.

You are surely younger than me, (ad occhio e croce almeno 10 anni)

Only my soul is young when attending Bruce's concerts

But thank you, this is very kind of you!

I think my definition of "recent" has changed over the years. Like, the Beatles were really old hat when I was a teen in the mid-Seventies, but now I'm thinking that my photo here is not all that old because I took it in something like 2018, when I first took out a paid membership here.

I hate looking at photos of myself nowadays, so I'm not going to change it any time soon.

Because I look so damn hot.

I don't update daily though; I'm not, like, 19.
