If you're going to make your webpage a photo of yourself, make sure it's a good photo. Neither the red-eye nor the dusky kitchenette with vertical blinds are really helping you out. Those 37 signals pages that everyone raves about or really any other website that uses full-bleed photography use really good photography. The photo doesn't have to be of you, but if it is, i'd seriously consider having a friend take a photo of you during golden hour (or at least during the day) with a sharp lens. Expect to do a bit of touching up anyway and make sure everything feels decadent. If you've got a good photo, it's pretty hard to muck it up with type. Case in point: look at almost all album art (or fashion magazines) for proof of this.
