explain your avatar

I can take a pitcher with my daw-gone camera, but I can't figure out how to make an avatar out of it. I have to send the image to fedzilla_bob, who does it for me at enormous expense. As I have not much in the way of disposable income, he now owns 1/3 of my Passat. He wants to know which third. The nerve of that guy.

I'm really getting tired of the award-winning cactus photo....
 
My Avatar is when I was hiking in Canyonlands in October of last year. Very warm. In the middle of Chesler Park area about 7-8 miles from our car. After 12 - 13 mile hike in the desert the beer at the car tasted great. That was after a heavy 5 minute desert rain squall. I'm looking forward to going back and doing some more hiking in the area.

Richard S (see above) took this photo of me a couple of months ago at a coffee place in my neighborhood. I rarely like photographs of myself (who does? like photographs of themselves I mean) but I like this one so I decided to use it. Also, my beloved M3 is in it.
 
I've been reading this "long established " thread - i decided to add an avatar .


it was the first few days after joining this site , hadnt posted/or made any photos. but being silly after a long day at work ( usual story , 16-18 hr day) got home and since i just gotten the M3 had no lens. "what to do with an M3" set of pictures. this is one

use cameras as a recipe book holder - this is a big book -- therefore bring a friend - a contax IIa with sonar and multi-finder on top.


i too - wonder about the avatar -- show images of the gear/show images taken with gear.


oh well, will change now and then im sure...
 
mine is my two Jack Russells (okay, one is actually half Jack, half Rat Terrier) - Tucker and Chloe

they are collectively known as "the hound dogs" when they are being good, and "the bitches" when they are being bad.
 
A clematis bloom in my backyard a couple of years ago. Taken with a digicam.




edit: of course you can see that my avatar is no longer a clematis, it is now my caonnet ql17 giii.

I borrowed this M2 with a 21mm Super Angulon from a friend. I said, what's it like to use a Leica? As he has a half-dozen, he said he would loan me one and wanted to know what focal length I preferred. Wide angle, I said.

What he took out of a brown paper bag the next day at the coffee shop was, as you can see, the most beat up camera I'd ever seen.

But it worked perfectly. A much better pic of it is in My Photos.

Trudging around downtown Tucson a few days later I felt like a battleworn photojournalist.

Would anyone ask if I'd just returned from Darfur?

What did happen, in terms of dialogue, was a wino near the Congress Hotel who said, "Hey, man, you need a new camera."
