It does annoy me that they have a large picture of a young woman with her head not in the frame. Unprofessional and looks like a bad stock picture.

Author here. I agree-- I felt weird about the picture myself and debated for a long time. I'm going to restore the original picture I had in there, as I don't want this one to distract from Glen's story.

Yeah, I think that the idea was they wanted you to focus on the cup of tea in her lap.

But I think I would have chosen another picture as well.

Looks like we were thinking the same thing within a minute of each other. I lost interest in the article immediately after seeing that.

Then I guess you didn't read about anonymous conversations?

For an article about conversations with people you never see a person without a face doesn't seem to weird.
