explain your avatar

I can take a pitcher with my daw-gone camera, but I can't figure out how to make an avatar out of it. I have to send the image to fedzilla_bob, who does it for me at enormous expense. As I have not much in the way of disposable income, he now owns 1/3 of my Passat. He wants to know which third. The nerve of that guy.

I'm really getting tired of the award-winning cactus photo....
 
Tedwhite -- you can tell fedzill_bob that he owns the 1/3rd of the car which has the fuel tank, and it is his responsiblity to fill it up...

My Avatar is when I was hiking in Canyonlands in October of last year. Very warm. In the middle of Chesler Park area about 7-8 miles from our car. After 12 - 13 mile hike in the desert the beer at the car tasted great. That was after a heavy 5 minute desert rain squall. I'm looking forward to going back and doing some more hiking in the area.

Richard S (see above) took this photo of me a couple of months ago at a coffee place in my neighborhood. I rarely like photographs of myself (who does? like photographs of themselves I mean) but I like this one so I decided to use it. Also, my beloved M3 is in it.
 
My current one is my homemade Brazillian walnut, brass lensed 5x7 LF camera on an old surveyors tripod
 
I've been reading this "long established " thread - i decided to add an avatar .


it was the first few days after joining this site , hadnt posted/or made any photos. but being silly after a long day at work ( usual story , 16-18 hr day) got home and since i just gotten the M3 had no lens. "what to do with an M3" set of pictures. this is one

use cameras as a recipe book holder - this is a big book -- therefore bring a friend - a contax IIa with sonar and multi-finder on top.


i too - wonder about the avatar -- show images of the gear/show images taken with gear.


oh well, will change now and then im sure...
 
mine is my two Jack Russells (okay, one is actually half Jack, half Rat Terrier) - Tucker and Chloe

they are collectively known as "the hound dogs" when they are being good, and "the bitches" when they are being bad.
 
A clematis bloom in my backyard a couple of years ago. Taken with a digicam.




edit: of course you can see that my avatar is no longer a clematis, it is now my caonnet ql17 giii.

I borrowed this M2 with a 21mm Super Angulon from a friend. I said, what's it like to use a Leica? As he has a half-dozen, he said he would loan me one and wanted to know what focal length I preferred. Wide angle, I said.

What he took out of a brown paper bag the next day at the coffee shop was, as you can see, the most beat up camera I'd ever seen.

But it worked perfectly. A much better pic of it is in My Photos.

Trudging around downtown Tucson a few days later I felt like a battleworn photojournalist.

Would anyone ask if I'd just returned from Darfur?

What did happen, in terms of dialogue, was a wino near the Congress Hotel who said, "Hey, man, you need a new camera."
