I see what you mean, esp. in the first!!
 
hello,

mine is taken a 2 or 3 years back at a June4th Tiananmen massacre memorial art gathering.

performance artists from mainland china, hong kong, and japan gathered and performed their pieces in the open area near a cinema/bookstore in kowloon, many of the pieces reflect on "state violence". the pic shows one among the audience, a curious young mother living around the neighbourhood, and her girl - who is curious about my taking pictures.

cheers!

In 1936, my father bought a new Olds, and he ran it right through the war years until 1949. I remember Sunday outings in that car, and when in my early teens, he taught me how to drive. Sadly, after 106 years, the last Olds ran off the GM assembly line in Lansing, MI in 2004.
 
I just wanted an appealing, friendly, welcomming and sympathic avatar.
One that will reflect my nice personality.

(I also recently fell in love with the work of Irving Penn)

Have a look through a Leica IIIf manual and you'll recognize my avatar. The gentleman is about to have his precious Leica pilfered (by a comical looking thief.) I cropped that out to make it a little more pleasant.

I'm also a casual pipe smoker and interested in the 1950s (as well as being an illustrator) so this image is perfect for me.
 
My current one is a play on my wife's avatar at her forum- I joined to play a joke on some of the regulars in the Off-Topic section, and really loved the avatar I found.
 
My avatar is the most infamous resident of Crawford Texas. I happen to live in Texas. And my name happens to be Crawford. And I cringe every time I hear the name mentioned, in connection to you-know-who.

Perhaps I should apologize for getting all political, but I won't. I'll probably choose another avatar eventually. But I'll stick with this one for now.
 
When I saw this nice thread (I read all the posts) I felt ashame of not having an avatar almost 2 years after joining, and finally took the time to elaborate an appropriate one. I am a mathematician with lifetime long passion for image, art, photography and research on Visual Perception. Visual Perception is my reference point and motivation. The human eye (the model is from a book of Eugene Hecht, 1987) and brain are the main components of our visual system. The way we see is still today in many respect mysterious and the subject of an active area of research, despite technology may give a deceiving sense of achieved realism to the large public.
 
Like my age and crazee mind - subject to change witout notice .

Kurrently Kiev - but M 8 in the wings - wicked irony , that Canon G2 would have to capture it - or where is that mirror ?
 
I think everyone should now go back to the start and read what they wrote 2 years ago because a lot have now changed and the comments can be quite funny.
 
it's me during a school trip in Strasbourg.
this pic was taken by my dear friend Alice.

in total I have about 10 pics of me over 14years old and this is one of them.

Mine's a self-portrait that I painted when I was a student at Indiana University working on my art degree. It is an oil painting on a masonite board, about 8x10 inches. Made about 10 yrs ago.
 
Mine was produced in 1973, back when God was a boy, by an artist called "Texas Tim" at a fair in San Antonio, I was living in Houston at the time, a long way from Oz and then some!
 
It's a colorful, old (2003 or so) concert pic I made of Anne Govaert, guitar player in the Dutch band Krezip. She isn't that great, and she most definitively cannot sing, but she IS gorgeous.
