Pop Your Facebook Profile Picture

I came across a cool article the other day which had some examples on how to go a little crazy with your Facebook profile picture, so I can’t take full credit for this. In fact I might not be able to take any credit at all, I just got done reading the article when my good friend (and awesome photographer) Doug… was walking by, he had his full set of equipment with him that day and the next thing I knew I was hanging from the drywall down the hall with a flash on either side of me, I’m just
