Well, yesterday I asked Active Rain members to help me pick my new high definition photo. They got to choose between me with my cat and my grandson. In the long run, and probably better for me as far as not being killed by my daughter, the grandson won, tummy exposed and all. I have never changed my AR photo before, so It seems strange after all these years. At least the youth of the grandson helps add some vitality to the photo of the old bird. For those of you trying to upload the new photos, the sides of your photo must be a minimum of 600 x 600 pixes. So a photo of 620 x 599 will not work...one side too small. On the other hand, a photo of 601 x 600 would work. Or you can put in a much larger photo. The problem with that is the AR system then tries to crop it for you and it might not crop what you want cropped. You can make very minor adjustments. From my standpoint, I chose to use a cropped photo that was pretty much centered exactly where I wanted it. At first I tried a wider photo, to get all of my logo in, but the AR system gave me a basic choice -- either cut off part of the logo or cut out part of the kid's arm. Good luck to everyone updating their photos. Because I work in the field that I do, I have some good software for cropping and resizing photos -- you know -- so we inspectors can alter our inspection photos to provide proof of our pre-conceived notions and crazy calls. Only kidding there! Thanks for stopping by, Steven L. Smith

I missed your post yesterday, Steve. You made a good choice in choosing your grandson and I'll bet he thinks so, too.
Well it looks like you pick a great photo to go with... your grandson is too cute
Steve, did you get your glasses fixed yet? Wasn't there a hammer "accident?"
Steve, very cute grandson! I can certainly see how be beat out the kitty! And I'm starting to think it's good to change photos every couple of months!
Pat,
I think that I will get him a King of the House tee shirt, pull it down around his belly, and try this again in a few weeks.
Great choice. That little guy looks like he loves you almost as much as you love him.
What a great photo! Your grandson is adorable.
Loved the last paragraph. LOL!
Nice pic Steve, pretty cute kid too. Have you had any conversations with him about those tight sections of the crawl spaces that we encounter? It could be a future industry!
Cute picture of the grandchild but I must admit I liked the old one better because it showed up quickly on the blog list. This one sorta fades into the background.
Now I can see you better Steve, you look great!
Heather,
I have yet to write that blog about family ties. By the way, I did a post with a photo of Alicia awhile back. I will find that and send the link.
Great picture. Looks like your grandson got the stern look of a judge with his gavel.
Hey Steve,
sorry I missed the photo contest. I do like your choice though. Your grandson is one good looking kid!
Hello Steve, I missed the contest as well. Great choice. Hope Nutsy isn't disappointed. John
