"Would it help if I was prettier?"

How I detest band photos...  I really do and even if I tried to take a good "band" photo (I have yet to undertake such a noble attempt) it would still have me in it and, as such, look douchebaggish at best, hideous at a minimum for its focus on appearance over substance.  Nevertheless, music industry dogma dictates that musicians should have photos on their website because it "allows fans to engage" (not kidding).  If that is true, great, here is a collage of nearly everything I could find and you can go ahead and "engage"...  whatever that means.  Presumably, it means that you talk to the photos, really get to know them better in the hope of eventually embarking upon an emotionally profound, meaningful and mutually satisfying relationship, and then eventually, well, in fact embark upon an emotionally profound, meaningful and mutually satisfying relationship.
