The DL on Facebook profile pics Forever shouldn't be how long you keep the same Facebook profile picture. Quillian says "I love it when my friends change their picture -- it's more interesting -- I admire people who are constantly refreshing their image."

What makes for a great Facebook shot? "I think that it's really about choosing what represents YOU," Quillian contends. �There are people who get creative and use pictures of their kid or their dog or pull back from the familiar and use a destination. Bottom line, whatever best represents you and what you're feeling is what's appropriate."

I am so glad to find out that practicing for photos is an option. I usually hate my pictures and it almost always boils down to the angles! Thanks for the tips.

I think it's great to want to look your best, but I feel like we overthink photos these days. When you're having a good time, it'll show in a picture. But anytime anyone pulls out camera, people get overly concerned about how terrible they think they look and then worry about it being posted on facebook. It's too bad.
