New business Card, advice or recommendations?

Well I just tossed a new pic and re-did the "ATG Photos" on my card. Added the little city behind the text. Seems like I'm missing something. I want to keep it simple, but not bland. Is there anything I may want to change, omit, or add?
Thanks.

i personally would lose the photo of yourself, it seems to me like a real estate agent's business card of billboard .. put the picture of yourself on your blog or website instead

I agree with this.

I just can't seem to find a photo that is well suited for the card. I know some people don't even use photos. But I do feel that is necessary. Should I toss up a shot from a wedding or something? A family photo (not my family)? Recommendations, please.

Thanks.

Alright. Here was another try, let me know what you think.

So the second one better?

I think clipart type graphics and photos are cheesy and quickly make the card look dated. Pretty much everyone who receives my card is impressed with three things:

A) The simple, sleek design
B) The glossy finish & high print quality
C) The thicker than usual card stock

I haven't come across anyone who has shown the slightest bit of dislike for my card. In fact they all comment about how nice it is.

It's basically a card that I can use for the next 20 years because it's minimalist.

Minimalist, I got ya.

One other idea I had thought was useing barcode on side (simple), and a simple (but original font) with info on the other side. Or maybe just loose the "models" on the sides? Leave the text alone?

You mind posting yours? I think I have seen your logo on one of your bouncecards way back when. But if you wouldn't mind posting yours. Appreciate it.

I'm sure you've seen it before. Here's the front:

Yeah, yours is very nice! I will try to design my own little logo or soemthing. soemthing I have been putting off for a long while. not sure what I can do, maybe draw soemthign than scan it. I'm no good at drawing on computer!

I outsourced my logo design. It was worth every penny.

figures...

Your logo ROCKS though! Got any recommendations?

Not really, sorry. I didn't seek her out so I never went through the selection process...ie no unchosen designers.
