Check out the quality of Rand's picture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rand_Paul

Vs.

Trey Grayson's: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trey_Grayson

Can anyone wikipedians get on this and get a picture with higher resolution...and maybe a more professional picture of Rand?

Really? I keep flipping between them and see a difference

Maybe I'm just picky, but I noticed it immediately when I went from Rand's to Grey's

I tried setting up a portrait session with Rand through a campaign staffer, for this exact reason, but have so far been unsuccessful. I do see a few problems with the current portrait, which I took, but it was just from a recent campaign event, and Rand just happened to turn towards me for a few seconds for that photo.

It's a less official picture but Rand looks way better than Trey in his picture.

If it costs money Rand isn't going to do it I can tell you that now. Also he is limited on time so if it involves travel or a great deal out of his day he might be resistant to it as well.

Costs money? For what? I offered to drive four hours to the Bowling Green office any day that Rand has nothing on his schedule. I'd give Rand money if it meant I had twenty minutes of his time :p.

Yes. Nothing studio professional, but better than nothing, I suppose. ;)

Yes. The three pictures on Rand Paul's Wikipedia page right now were all taken by Gage.

Have you talked to Ryan?

Actually, Ryan is who I contacted about it. I saw him last Thursday in Glasgow, but didn't want to seem too obsessed with the idea.
