The photo was taken in a white-walled corridor and then Photoshopped. Yes,
a better one would be a good idea. Most good photos of me are identifiable
by not having me in them.

I'll try to update it every few months to keep it up to date, it's
definitely not going to get too out of date. If I do that, then I can keep
you buying new versions :-)
