Mine is the Cape Hattaras Lighthouse. It's a 200 ft tall structure (tallest lighthouse in the US, I think) which they managed to move (basically intact) several hundred feet to its present location, to delay its destruction by beach erosion.

I love to hang out on the Outer Banks of NC. It's like escaping to another world. I haven't even begun to take advantage of all the photo opportunities on the islands.
 
I think I have changed mine since I first answered this thread. This one is of a nighttime thunderstorm that was approaching town around midnight. I shot this with a Contax IIa and 21mm Biogon.

mine is my son holding the yashica electro 35 that I bought for 25 bucks while I was agonising about trying out rangefinder cameras. 2 weeks later I bought a konica RF kit. 3 weeks after that a colleague gave me his canonet because he was only using the case to hold his ipod!
 
Mine is a wagon at Aspen Lodge outside Estes Park, Colorado where my younger sister and her husband and my Mom now live. I was there for the wedding of my neice and took an early morning late September drive about 9 miles SW of town when I was this wagon. I've been going to Estes Park for over 40 years but this was the first time I'd gone in the Fall. The photo has been published on macdesktops.com as well.
 
Mine, which I have just changed from a boring old Contax IIIa is our two 2 year old male (well they started out that way🙂) beagles tussling over a toy. Today is their second birthday, and we know that they each have pocket somewhere on their anatomy which has a whole bunch of money in it which we have not found yet!

Just the grouping of the last items in my Canon RF collection. There is a 7, 2x 7s, and a 7sz. The 0.95 in front is possibly a factory prototype of the later TV type, and the 68th lens produced, according to the serial number. One of the 7s's is a shooter, usually mounting either the 1.2 or a coupled 0.95. I'd hate to lose my camera bag... 😡

Hello:

While attempting to sell me a DigiLux, the Camera Company also mentioned a 111b set badly in need of a good home. It was an easy sell (no Digilux) and after a trip to DAG the 111b happily produces images with a 25mm Skopar, 35mm f2.8 Canon and 90mm Elmar. The 50mm f2.8 Canon (1) competes with the original Elmar f3.5.

Another cat. This is John, or, more correctly "Big John." He's named after the USS John F. Kennedy, which my son was serving on at the time we rescued John from the pound.
 
Sorry... no cat.... (people seem to like feline avitars!). Just a shot of my Keiv 4 I took while trying to work out how to take a decent staged picture with a digicam... It's probably time for a change... Maybe I need a new camera!

It´s my selfportrait, done about 10 years ago with my first camera, a Nikon SRL. Of course no photoshop there, just an easy but funny trick I read on a book.
 
Mine is a just some random guy getting ready to leave the office at night. I saw him thru the curtains of his window and he just seemed so dejected at that moment for some reason.
 
I noticed a few new/updated avatars & thought I would retrieve this thread... Just bought a Rollei 16s (more for a conversation/collection piece) and thought a ps'd shot would make a fine new avatar... When the gallery is up and running I'll add the original shot to 'my cameras' folder...

I like frogs. It's also one of my first successful photos from when I started getting serious about photography a few years ago.
