Why: Chennai based photographer Vinay Aravind has embarked on a curious project to celebrate 5,000 likes on his Facebook page, where you can have him shoot your profile picture for free. It can be as ordinary or as zany as you like – just remember he reserves the right to turn it into an installation someday! Vinay will touch base with you when he’s in your city, set up a time and place for the shoot and also give you unrestricted (but not exclusive) license to use the picture as you please. All you have to do in exchange is spread the word by using a watermarked copy of the image for a month first, tagging him and his page in it. In only three days, he’s been (flash) mobbed with requests, so we suggest you get to it soon.

When: You want some facial profiling.
