I know the picture is not flattering, and I know that it may not easy to recognize me from the picture, but i feel that my who am i picture best represents me currently. I wouldn't want the past Who Am I pictures deleted, i enjoy going through the past pictures looking for my friends, or even my old picture.

I agree that it is cool when people recognize you from your picture, but i don't think it needs to be a requirement that a mug shot is put up for the who am i just so that Suzie Q can recognize me at the next regional.
Hey Ben - there are 2 faces in your who-am-I picture; which one is you?

I would hate to think that who-I-am is equal to what-I-look-like; I hate to break it to you but based on these pictures I'm not sure I would want to show up at another web hug. As a group we belong to a pretty scraggly bunch of robot addicts (with a few very good looking exceptions - feel free to include yourself in this category if your vanity requires it). Last web hug I don't think I recognized anyone until they came up to me and said "hi Gary, I'm _______", at which point I immediately picked up the resemblance.

I love the personality part of the pictures; it's what helps me get to know "who-you-are". I'll forever picture Brandon standing on a street corner with his guitar case open collecting donations, and if I run into a guy on a snow covered volcano I'll check to see if he has a Hawaiian shirt under his parka. As you can see from my picture I'm the typical stoic, pocket protector engineer. I'm sure there needs to be some limits on the frequency of changing pictures, but I really enjoy seeing new ones pop up. I feel like I get to know the people better by seeing what they're into doing.
