explain your avatar

Mine's an inaugural shot with a Planar 35/2, bought for my Contax G1 two years ago. It's one of my best... I think.

Thanks for the information, Peter. That's a lovely image!

Hi all,

I had to get a cat avatar, I'm a copy-cat! This is a stray calico in the park. Someone is feeding her. I might have to adopt her...

ps. Roman, bring back the drunken fool! Please! It always cheers me up..

Yes! Adopt the Cat!

Natalia,

It worked! Alright, I'll send you that little decoder ring that you were sent here to procure from me. Either by plying me with focusing fluid, or my demise. Whichever you found easier or more enjoyable...

I've decided to change my avatar just to see how many different cats we can get.

This was Zoe. My friend and companion for 16 years. She passed away a few months ago.
 
CleverName, that's a sweet picture. Sorry for your loss......

CleverName, sorry about your cat. But changing your avatar has made your original post in this thread rather interesting. (see first page).

One February morning a few years ago my son and I were using a couple of pacemaker speedgraphics mounted on tiltall tripods. I placed a hat and shirt on one of them while using the other.

Yesterday, I had to stay home with the flu so's not to infect the other inmates. This gave me a chance, after nearly a year of following, (and learning) from RFF, to figger out posting an avatar. I kinda like this one, it's taken at Disneylands California Adventure. It should do for now, I'm looking for one with a little more impact.
I also, in a fevered flash of clear thinking, fueled by tylenol and codeine, posted a few photos in the users gallery. Check 'em out. I've sold cars in the past, so your flames won't affect me .

I like FEDs

I like Yashica Electros, Canonets, and other Japanese cameras

FED... Zilla

I also have a bad habit of stepping on large cities and other peoples threads. Please forgive me. :)
 
The one I recently changed to, which I use on other systems as well, is a scan of a note that appeared on a bulletin board with an ascii cartoon and a "Who does this look like?" note attached. :)

The one I used here for a while, which I also use on other systems as well, is one of me that I had taken shortly after I turned the big four-oh, before I got any older. Not to admit my real age now, but it's almost got a retro look to it now. :) :(
 
This is me at this very wierd club in New York City (maybe defunct already?)

I can't remember the name of it, but the whole place is wired with little closed-circuit cameras under glass bubbles. There are TV control stations and telephones networked everywhere too. So you can take control of the various cameras from any one of the stations, browse around and zoom in to check people out, see what they are seeing through their cameras, and call them up to chat. It's the equivalent of what I remember happening in the college computer room in the early 1990s, everyone "chatting" with each other even though they were all ten feet away, but with more bells and whistles. Very odd place, but kind of cool.

Oh, and you could snap pictures that would all get put up a website the next day. My avatar is from there. I had my Meopta with me and I took some pictures with that, but this was actually taken through the bar's camera system.
 
My avatar is of me drinking Tequila. Taken with a Super8 by a friend of mine.

The name "JOE1951" refers to the name of a movie script/short story/novel/stageplay/whatever, idea I've been playing around with on and off for the past 15 yrs.

cheers
