Ooops, did I say too much? 😉
But a fact is that my friends and colleagues around me sometimes (or often) do not understand what I am photographing but looking at my Lomo LC-A pictures they say "Hey, I like it!". For me that proves the thesis that an expensive cam does not automatically take good pictures. So the Lomo cannot be that bad to be negated.
 
One of my sons (twins) last summer when he looked out of a steamtrain during the ride. I took this, because the main part of my pictures are of them.

Mine is just a pissing old guy at the artifficial pissing corner in a street, in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. I took the picture for somebody back home who did not believe that in our western civilized world that's how public toilets for men look like.

The pic is taken on fuji neopan 1600 with a GSN and severely cropped - negative magnified with a microscope and captured with a digicam.
 
Aaaaaargh!!

That's me in front of some pancake, sorry, but.. it was the only US food I really liked! 😛

Wow, never thought I'd get my avatar online, but this thread pushed me. 🙂

My avatar shows the Centaur logo that is used by Remy Martin, the cognac brand. And yes, my full name ís Remy Martin. 😛
 
I just had snapped a few pictures of our two dogs about the time when I registered and thought this will do.
And besides, I think it is challenging to photograph them: black, quick movements, hard to have both two in decent "pose" in same photo.
Cheers, Esa
 
No story behind mine. I just like it. Looks better on fibre based 16x12.

That's me sitting on the toilet. What? Yeah but uh… let me explain before you start with the jokes. First understand I said sitting, not sh… oh never mind. Background: My primary hobby is long-range target rifle shooting (800, 900, & 1000 yards), know internationally as Palma shooting. OK, with that much revealed, my hobby lead me to take a job running the local rifle range (it's actually a second job for me, my primary job being the Quality Assurance Director for the State of Idaho Department of Environmental Quality). OK, so living on a rifle range, well there are not a lot of amenities. I live in a singlewide trailer... oops I mean manufactured home. Living in one means there aren't a lot of mirrors in the place, the biggest being in the bathroom or… uh, toilet. So if I want to do a self-portrait, well that's where I have to go. In this case, I just received a new Panasonic FZ2 digital camera (Leica lens) and wanted to try it out. Since the weather outside was frightful (gotta love that) why not try a few indoor shots then plug it into the computer to check result. What you see is the result, a self-portrait in the only place I can shoot a self-portrait.

Sorry, wish I had a better tale but that’s the misery of it.

It's a picture of my husky Vladimir that I edited into an Icon (see my home page for more). I have the same thing of my three kids (who are my mains subjects now) - I was going to rotate them on a regular basis.

Here's a recent self-portrait of me during kitchen renos:
 
It is a picture from a small island's jetty off Singapore (which is a larger island itself). It brought back the memory of cold marine air and running nose. The moonlight reminds me of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.

Thanks Natalia! Glad that you like it as it is one my own favorite!
 
Yeah, this thread inspired me to get off my arse and do an avatar. Mine is of my lovely Datsun 2000 Sports roadster (1968 model). It was the last shot on the first roll from my XA (just about all of my films seem to have an obligatory Datsun shot, it seems!)

24x30, that's a great shot of your son. Could have been from the thirties!

Cheers all,
Steve
