Attached Link: My Short Biography Page

To be short, I want to add a biography page on my website.

But as you certainly know, it's always difficult to describe yourself.
And as I'm quite a lazy man. I thought that creating a biography page on a question/answer template would be easier. But again, I stumble upon a blank page. :)

So I would like to request some help from RR members.
Have a look here: http://www.aegipan.net/index.php?x=biography

And if you have some questions about me and my photography work, don't hesitate ... It will help me to fill that page.
More seriously, any good ideas (questions) are welcome.

And once my biography page is over, I can go and die in silence. I will rest in peace. ;)

Thanks in advance.

Peace,
Aegy

The  "question/answer" thing is "okay" but I think a more personal touch would be better.

I prefer 1st person "one on one" biographies a preference for me (think... RR homepage).

Or you can right it in 3rd person ( think of it as writing about someone else..... Kim has had a long and illustrious career as an artist, starting in grade school when she won a poster competition at the local fair........)

It depends on how you want to portray yourself. Do you want a more personal, "get to know the real me" bio.... or do you want the more professional, "I am an artist, I want to be remembered this way" bio?

Anyway, it's something to think about. I hope I may have helped in some small way! Good luck with your web site!

Kim is right on target.   And, you can stay around awhile after the bio is done..just to see how folks react to it.     :  )
