Show Us Your Face!
Hello all!!!


After a few months of hanging out in this wonderful forum, I think it would be nice if we could put a face to the screen name.........so...............

Who is behind that camera?? Don't be shy........:-)

[Laziferous]

I've got one in my avatar, but that's kind of small. I've got loads of photos of me online. Why? I really don't know. I guess most of it was just playing with the camera when I was bored. Funny this should come up. I just shared this image with a friend yesterday.

Why so blue? ;)

[IndyJeff]

My former roommate had a couch that had an amazing resemblence to your pants Laz. I think he gave it to Goodwill, who knew they would turn that fabric into a pair of pants.

[Ikinaa]

Laz:

You're a narcissist!?!

[thomascanty]

<--- It's right over there. My avatar is a shot of myself.

I have a lot of pictures of myself online, too.

[CoolToolGuy]

Maybe Laz is a reincarnated golfer from the '70s. :roll:

[IndyJeff]

The couch was from the 70's.

[belmondo]

Boy, what a bunch of cowards. :( So far there have been only three people with nerve enough to let the world see what you look like (okay, maybe 3 1/2 if you count thomascanty's avatar).

Then on top of it, you make fun of Laziferous's trousers. Well, okay. I guess I started that, but the fact remains that there have to be some more people who are as embarrassingly ugly as the three brave souls who've already posted.

And granted, roanjohn isn't actually ugly, but he could have been, and Laziferous isn't really ugly either; he just has a unique sense of style. I, on the other hand, am legitimately ugly---bordering on hideous---and feel I deserve appropriate recognition of that fact---but only by people with huevos enough to put their own face out there. :lol:

[CoolToolGuy]

Well, it is time to admit that, although I would be happy to have a photo taken of me and then post it, I do not have a hosting site. Geez, over 700 posts to this forum and none of them have included pictures! I am going to put some effort into that, however, and then you will truly know why I take the pictures - that enables me to stay on the other end of the lens! :roll:

Don't laugh, here's my attempt at a self portrait... :roll: :oops:

[PacAce]

CDS, I knew you had to be an automaton albeit a sentient one at that. That's the only way one can explain the number of posts you've chalked up so quickly! :shock:

:mrgreen: :lol: :D

[belmondo]

CDS is only proving that if you're a forum moderator long enough, you'll eventually be black and blue for your troubles. :wink:

I'm also noticing that the only people posting self-portraits are those with facial hair. A psychologist could have a field day with this one.

[Bruce Hamilton]

As you can see from the picture, I am PFU! :lol:

Edit - As I've changed my avatar, the image is redundant, so it's removed.

[belmondo]

As you can see from the picture, I am PFU! :lol:


No, Bruce. You really need a moustache or beard to be really ugly. Maybe you can add a little facial hair with Photoshop. It'd be a lot faster than growing it. :roll: :wink:

[garethhhhh]

That's a very attractive flag... I approve :twisted:

[karusel]

I like this thread, nicknames are so surreal when you cannot connect them to a face... I'll post my photo when I'll make one I'm satisfied with. Seriously.

Garethhhh, nice composition, but I don't like it - it has such an awful background.. what is this, a dead horse in pool of p*ss? :twisted:

OK, ya'll asked for it. Me and my buddies........

Facial hair is not readily apparent....unless you want to count the goatee on the top of his head! :lol: :wink:

Mmm.... I don't seem to have ANY pictures of me... apart from my passport photo but you don't wanna see that (I look like a hitman in it... either that or your friendly neighbourhood axe murderer :shock: )

This will have to do until I can replace it with a better one. I'm the person on the LCD btw.

lol,.. I remember my "Agfa" One Megapixel "twisty" digital! And yes.. it too was soooo cool! :mrgreen:

How times change.. back then my camera did not cost mre than my current car.... never mind the cost of every car I've ever owned COMBINED!!!!!!


// er,.. I look just like Garethhhh.... except I have cool tatoos, drive a Harley and have lots of money that I inherited... :roll:

[Laziferous]

You guys don't like my pants? :? Those are pimpin' :wink: Jeff, are you sure he didn't give them to the Edgewood Thrift Store in MD.? :D

That picture was from about two years ago. I still look basically the same though. Here's another from me, because as Ikinna has acurately stated... I am a narcissist :P

http://gallery.bytephoto.com/data/3023/6victim.jpg

Tom, what's with the hair? I'd give my left testicle (or right) to have a nice thick head of hair like that again... even white :wink:

I'd just like to say, that you are all a bunch of old farts. That, and kosmos is damn fine. Melani, don't read that.

Only 8:30PM!?? and you're going to bed already. It's 1:35AM over here and I haven't even thought of going to bed yet! :roll:
You say you've already lost your hair, hmmm.... I guess old age is catching up with you! (old fart) :twisted: :lol:

[Laziferous]

Gimme a break man... I've got to get up at 4:30am :( :P

Not all of my hair... my hairline is just gradually finding comfort, further and further up my forehead. It's no big deal really. I starting shaving my head before that started to happen, so I didn't realize it was happening right away, but I wish I could grow some dreads again. Wouldn't I look dead sexxay with some fat locks :D

http://gallery.bytephoto.com/data/3065/6elite.jpg

Okay... now I'm going to bed. Stop making fun of me, you punks :twisted: :p

[garethhhhh]

I wish I could grow some dreads again. Wouldn't I look dead sexxay with some fat locks :D

You got any pics from when you still had them :?: :P

[Tom W]

I have only one thing to say, Laz. Its something I've been learning gradually through my life and it is this: Hair is overrated.

[IndyJeff]

Ok here is me. Now it is from a couple of years ago but, I still look the same.

http://www.classmates.com/photos/4/7/6/2/4762461.jpg


Laz I don't know where he donated the couch to but, it was the same pattern as your pants. I had a pair of brown plaids that another buddy had a couch just like them. When I sat on that couch my lower half would disappear.

BTW Laz, you are the 2000's version of Maynard G Crebbs. Don't worry, Maynard was the original cool.

Oh and Kosmos IS the best looking member here, Hubba Hubba!!!!

[PacAce]

OK, here's me. I'm usually always behind the camera so a picture of me is really hard to come by. But I did find one that someone shot of me during a "Tropical Island" picnic. This is me taking a picture of another photographer taking a picture of me taking a picture of him taking a picture of ...... :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Heh heh, that description kind-of reminds me of those mirrors that used to be in the barber shop on opposing walls. You'd get an infinite (sort-of) series of the opposing mirror's reflection, smaller and smaller, and smaller.....

[Laziferous]

I can't find any pictures of me with dreads. I was a sociopath... I mean anti-social, at that point in life ;) I'm sure my friends from my time in "the wonder years" have plenty of pictures of me... vomiting in public, sleeping under tables, in gutters, etc... :oops:

Depending on your browser you can set animations to loop forever or only once. For example in Mozillla: Edit... Preferences... Privacy & Security... Images... - there's an option for animation looping.

Given the frightening aspects of the above animation, once is more than enough. :)

[WebErika]

I'm game ... though, I'm usually the one behind the camera, so you'll have to make do with a pic from several years ago ... I still look the same, just several years older ... the Oil of Olay does a good job though ;)

This is a scan of a smaller pic, which I enlarged a bit than ran through NeatImage.

Almost every photo I have of me has the same exact smile.
I look like a freak! :lol:

[vvizard]

This picture is six months old.. While I still had hair :-P Well.. I still got hair actually but I've started to cut it shorter, so the cops won't pull me over, thinking I'm a drug-addicted burglar each time I do urban photography with the 10D =D I don't have pictures of myself with short(er) hair I think, but will publish a new one when I get around to take one.

EDIT: Oh yeah, the photo too maybe =D

Either it's deja vu, or I've been here way too long, but I believe we have done this before. Many of us posted our self-pics on a very similar thread started by none other than Laz himself:

But just in case you wanted to see my ugly mug (some facial hair and nonexistent hairline included) here it is again. Like most on this forum, I'm rarely in front of the camera, so this one will have to do (about 8 months old).

Yeah, or maybe not - British have the steering wheel on the right side. Also, she could just be a passenger and somebody else would have been driving the car. 8)

hehe it's the people from the British Isles that always drive on the wrong side of the road, man it's dangerous to drive there, that's why, when I take the ferry to cross the channel, I never go further north than Canterbury. Till there, the Brits have the habit of the Continentals driving on the right side of the street and don't honk immediately when you make an error...
It's not only that they drive on the wrong side, their street signs are also mirrored, like for example 'priority to the left', the roundabouts are to be taken clockwise and not counterclockwise as usual, etc... :lol:

[Sammy]

Ok.. so there is no 'intros' forum, so I guess I will do it here!

I am 30 yrs old (ouch) from the UK, but living in Houston, TX. I own a Fuji S7000 at the moment (don't throw me out because of it :wink: ) plan on getting a 10D.. I *think* ....hmm....having trouble deciding... (this is where you come in!) Pretty new to photography.. other other passion is my dogs! I train/work and trial Schutzhund (protection) dogs and police K9s!

Hope to learn a lot from you guys (nothing like pressure huh?).. :D

Here is me, with one of my dogs.. !

hehe it's the people from the British Isles that always drive on the wrong side of the road,

Not fair, I ride a motorbike and I ride it on both sides of the road :roll:

Joke came into my head (no offense towards anyone):
A british guy driving in the U.S.:
Gets in his car, drives on the streets at rush hour, and eventually gets on the expressway.
As soon has he drives up the ramp, he tunes in his radio to "Traffic info"
Voice on the radio:
"Interstate 80, exit 143A, there is a car driving in the wrong direction, into oncoming traffic."
British driver yells to himself: "ONE?.... Bloody hell, there are millions of them :shock: "

Ok.. so there is no 'intros' forum, so I guess I will do it here!

I am 30 yrs old (ouch) from the UK, but living in Houston, TX. I own a Fuji S7000 at the moment (don't throw me out because of it :wink: ) plan on getting a 10D.. I *think* ....hmm....having trouble deciding... (this is where you come in!) Pretty new to photography.. other other passion is my dogs! I train/work and trial Schutzhund (protection) dogs and police K9s!

Hope to learn a lot from you guys (nothing like pressure huh?).. :D

Here is me, with one of my dogs.. !



Welcome to the forum!!!

We'll try our best to help you in whatever decisions you make.

"GET THE 10D!!"

Okay.........hope that helped ;-)

I've only just found this thread and the saddest thing is....

... I read it all and found it enthralling!

Anyway 2 things before you get my shots

1) Some of you, I just don't believe - far to gorgeous to be real...

2) Kosmos: errr Could we meet?

Some of us aren't too gorgeous to be real, we just put our best pic forward...

...and I imagine I would erupt in giggles if I meet a guy in his underwear. :oops:

That's cool. Way cool. Cool just is. Explanations negate cool. What can I say?!

[John_T]

? Who wants what with whom?

What Indy did on Shniks is way way cool. Just bingo like that. Good on ya Indy! ...and Sniks, it's true!

[kosmos]

Yay, dumb post removed.

Jonn_T, you are right, explanation negates cool. Why did I even ask? I am cool, let's leave it at that. :twisted:

Thanks CDS,

That was rude and not at all a comfortable thing to read. I don't post anything that would invite that type of comment.

Apologies - got carried away! Sorry especially to any offended.

:oops:

[belmondo]

Martin:

We all occasionally get caught up in the spirit of the moment and temporarily lose perspective. I've been there a time or two myself. In the last year I've managed to rankle a few people here myself, usually with misguided humor or references so obscure that people assume I'm being vulgar, snobbish, or psychologically impaired. Whenever that happens, I do exactly what you did; I apologize, vow not to do it again, and chalk up the whole experience as 'education'. Yours was the right approach.

One thing I do constantly is to remind myself that the forum is not made up exclusively of 30-year old drooling male participants. We have women, children, teenagers, and god forbid, old fossils like myself of both genders who frequent the forum. The best plan is to write with the knowledge that what your post can, and likely will, be seen by a very wide cross-section of humanity. You'll stay out of trouble that way.

As we all saw, it doesn't take long at all for a thread to go completely into the gutter, and when that happens, it's very likely to offend someone.

Thanks for the restraint.

[martcol]

Kind words Tom

Thank you....

Martin

[Scottes]

OK, to get back on track I've stooped to posting a pic of myself. This must have been a scan from an old film camera because I don't show up on digital.

Note the facial hair.

Also note the cute kitten - a dead giveaway that I am actually a sweet guy. (Despite the grimace.)

http://www.itsanadventure.com/postimages/Scott_and_Major.jpg

[shniks]

I have been told I look like many people in my life, but never the Mona Lisa!!!!! I think its just my pose in that photo. Either that or its because of my european background.

[cmM]

Scottes,
What happens if you decide to upgrade to a bigger monitor ? :P

[Calis]

Ok, I'm game.

This one was taken this week in a work meeting by Neil_r of this forum (we, obviously, work together) to demonstarte the advantages of a 550 flash

Note the complete absence of facial hair.

http://www.pbase.com/image/28949487/medium.jpg

[John_T]

C'mon Shniks, admit it. You were Mono Lisa in a past life.

C'mon Scottes, admit it. You are really a softy!

C'mon Martin, admit it. You are really a narcisstic.
(No rankles here mate.)

Dunno Calis. A wise old friend of mine once said a man without facial hair is like a woman without boobs. Go figure. :twisted: :lol:

[Laziferous]

Ok, just a note... Scottes looks just like Kevin Smith (which is a compliment), and Jerry Z looks just like Liberace (not comparing you to a dead guy, just a note :wink: ).

Carry on :D

[Scottes]

Ok, just a note... Scottes looks just like Kevin Smith (which is a compliment)

Kevin Smith looks like ME.

It *is* uncanny, isn't it?

[martcol]

C'mon Martin, admit it. You are really a narcisstic.

Just too ashamed now, to show my face.... :oops: I certainly can't show my rankles - oh no, there I go again!

http://images.fotopic.net/?id=4449975

[Andy_T]

To show you I'm also quite narcisstic, I post an additional photo of myself.

This time, it's me and my wife, Mei-Hua.

The photo was taken some 4 years ago.

I don't have that muscular body any longer, alas.


http://gallery.photo.net/photo/2360573-lg.jpg

If anyone is offended by the very scanty dressing, please PM me, I'll immediately remove the picture.

The photo is a bit course as it was a 400 ASA film that was scanned.
Actually, I only had the film developed some month ago (4 years after taking the shot :roll: ) for that the quality is not so bad.

Best regards,
Andy

Aww! The kitten!!! So cute!!!! :D

By the way - are those some O'Reilly books I see on those shelves?

Gotta love peeps that buy O'Reilly ...

Just a few more months and my hair will be long enough for a really good comb-over! :lol:

Yeah, I own lotsa O'Reilly books. I'm just a computer geek at heart. OK, I'm a computer geek pretty much all over.

That was quite funny, though I'm not too happy being compared to Mitnick. I'm definitely a whitehat.

[vvizard]

"I'm definitely a whitehat!" Isn't that a Mitnick-quote? Like one he screamed while beeing arrested? You sure _ARE_ the same guy ;) No seriously I believe you, and it's nice that you're following the right path my "old" master ;) Guess the majority of blackhats bookshelves would have far more of titles like this: "IIS the inner workings", "(Visual basic) Programmers guide to Outlook Express", "TCP/IP, scratching the surface", than they would have UNIX-bibles :lol: :lol:

The little guy is quite handsome. Clearly there are good genes at work there. I notice you're showing a little more forehead in the last 18 years. No matter---it makes you look distinguished. :wink:

thanks Tom .

distortion maybe works better http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif

to show my eyes and face I have no real recent shots . plenty with sunglasses on or squinting http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif
( it's usually in strong sunshine when someone is taking a shot)
am too busy taking shots to get some taken http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif )

so, as others are showing old pictures of themselves here is one of mine.
