This is a picture of my father. He's in his 70's. I think he has an interesting look. One day I may look like my father.

It's just an abstract face - maybe suitable for an online persona. 🙂

This is the street cat I accidentally found one afternoon while walking through a park testing a Ricoh 35 ZF. The pic is a severe crop but at that size it doesn't matter...
Curious thing is I pretty much ignored cats before joining this forum, now I always try to at least exchange a bit words with them...
Seems two of our members thought about the same question at the same time 😀

This is a photo of me taken way back in the late '60's. I'm considerably taller now and have added about 150lbs.
This is the only evidence my Mother has to back up her story that people said I looked like the baby Jesus when I was a child. My mom loves telling that story and my wife loves hearing it. Personally I don't see the resemblance.

It's a ballon from the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, supposedly the most photographed event in the world. In the last couple of years they've limited the number of balloons to only 800. Mass ascensions are something to behold. You are right in the middle of them when they go off. They come down all over town.

Krasnaya Zvezda is Russian for "red star". I got the image from the comic book "The Red Star".

Mine is of my father, age 2, taken in 1921.
He was pretty "grumpy" as an adult, so this joyful child is a better memory. This is the only photo in which he's smiling ~ ; - )

There is a famous football team in Belgrade called "Crvena Zvezda" - Red Star. Is there a sports connection with your online name besides the comic book?

Handheld self-portrait one day when I was bundled up for walking and shooting last winter in Chicago. Guess I shoulda turned the camera in the other direction.

My avatar is a picture of a locomotive my father took about 1950 or so. I grew up mere feet from the main line (double track then) of the B&O Rail Road and well remember the sounds of the steam engines as they passed our place less than 30 feet away. Many of the local men worked their whole lives for the B&O.
This picture was taken about half way between the towns of Doubs and Adamstown, Maryland. I scanned it from a photograph.

The original of this is in my gallery, it's a shot my Dad took of my brother, sister, and cousins at our hunting camp in Northern Michigan. I cropped the section with my cousin Jimmy and I for the avatar. A while back Pherdinand correctly guessed that I am the one with the bottle -- little has changed over the years, although I'm a little taller😉

Mine is a crop of a Swisscom radio tower looking a bit like the peace sign. Taken during a bike ride with my Lomo LC-A.

(Gasps!) There is a LOMO contingent here? And it's OK to admit it? I don't have an LC-A, but I have a Smena 8M and a Lubitel. And truth be told, LOMO was my entry port into camera collecting and therefore the terminal addiction of FSU stuff. Wow, I guess it's safe for me to admit I own TWO Holgas, one with the Polaroid back? (Woops--- I just admitted I use Polaroid...) Should start a new thread, What are your favorite junk cameras? Might even find some Diana users here. I think I'll do it.
