explain your avatar

i have this constant battle with myself about my avatar.

being that this is a site about rangefinder photography, part of me thinks it should be a photograph that i have taken and another part of me thinks it should be of the equipment that i use to take the photographs.

therefore, i tend to go back & forth with different avatars.

this current one was a shot i had taken for the coffee & camera thread but i liked it enough to want it around for longer.

i even had a 8x12 print made of it and am looking for a frame for it now.

I love the 1930's style of portraits. so I did a self portrait in front of o some of my 1930's style art work.. with a 111A and and a 1935 Summar.. Althought the suit that I have on is a German 1943.... I would like to replace it with one alittle more in focus.... But I think it does have a neat glow to it.......
 
My curent avatar is one I took with a GSN, which I sold, in a auto graveyard. I really don't know what it means, but I just like it. It will change when something else comes along.
 
It's a detail of my license plate, taken with my GSN, then edited to make it look like it was taken through the viewfinder of the GSN. The RF on the plate and the RF on the forum marquee just sort of connected in my brain.

Uploaded because people tend to change their avatars over time.
 
Old Bobblehead

Old Bobblehead

This old toy was given to my girlfriend by an old painter named Milton Resnick. We were visiting New York and I wanted to go visit him but she wasn't that interested in going along. Milton said, "Tell her if she comes I'll give her a toy." He knew she collected old toys.... Ed

By the way, I shot it with a C220.
 
Reverend Al Bundy. Al is my all time favourite character from TV. I watch Married with Children (MWC) whenever it is on. At one time it was on twice nightly on FX and it was my going to bed wind down for the eve R&R tv viewing. It just does not get any better than MWC.

In the avatar , Al strats a church for getting rich and so on ... As yo can imagine, Marcy busrst his bubble.
 
They are my godchildren.
The picture was made with my first digicam, a Casio QV300 years before.
It made pics 640x480 only, so this time it's perfect for avatars.

Why not! This shot is so cheesy I had to use it!

It was taken while I was shooting a golf tournament at Glen Abey Golf Club near Toronto. The cup was there with other trophees from the NHL. We were taking picture of all particpants with the cup and as a joke, decided to shoot each other as well (we were three photographers).
 
Just a quick shot coming home from work after getting off the e/b streetcar at Greenwood & Queen (Toronto). Something kind of eerie about the shot -- all just luck, including the exposure. Obviously snowing a fair bit that evening. The snow really kind of lit up the night -- one can see distant smokestacks that are usually invisible at night. This particular streetcar "short turned" at Greenwood rather than continuing to Neville Park or Victoria Park. This shot is of the car as it made the turn into the yard.
 
I took mine from a guy on the web who sells whimsical nautical novelties. I think he got from somewhere because I saw it years ago in a advert for something (don' t recall). Just a fun looking face. In real life I'm just a very average, blend in looking guy.

just some of my favs

Mine is just a gathering of my Canon 7's. I collect Canon RF's (and SLR's), and these are among my favorites. The extra 7s is a shooter, so that I can use my 50/0.95 for something practical. It's a much better lens than many give it credit for, and a bit(?) cheaper than the competition, if not as sharp.
