Whats the story behind your avatar choice?

[jollystomper]

In my view, Woodstock is just the coolest cartoon character ever . Reminds me of myself .

My avatar is a photo my wife took while I was shooting the sunset in Death Valley. My career was a professional photographer doing mostly advertising work in my studio, and my personal work was shooting landscapes.

My Avatar is my BMW 5-series with a Rocket strapped to the roof.

Actually, it's a 'forced perspective' camera trick.
Buster Keaton used these in his early movies.

A Northern Hawk-Owl that I photographed a few years ago.

This is an alien witch from the "catspaw" star trek episode. Also reflects on how I look when I get up in the morning.

I got that going on too. Heading to Great Clips in 5 minutes to help with that.

My first avatar here (which I use in several other forums) was already taken... I mean, someone here had the *exact* same picture! We talked and laughed about it, and I said I would pick a different one. My next (and current) avatar choice has always been an inspiration to me... someone who went from rock bottom ("seven years of college down the drain") to U.S. Senator

That is a picture of John Belushi right? So were you a U.S. Senator?

Yes, IIRC Senator Blutarski in the movie Animal House.

My all time favorite cartoon!

Avatars are fun.

You're all more creative than I am. I can certainly see how people have fun with them. I just don't know what I'd pick or where I'd get it from. I waste enough time on this thing already trying to follow the Social Security threads!

My avatar is part of a glas art installation. Smooth, calming, beautiful and transpearant. I support these things in life and generally think we could do with more of the same

This is F-18A ship 6 flying of NAS PAX RIVER. She was my baby from Jan 1980 after I got out of navy. She was the spin bird, had 12 1000amp battery’s in place of radar. Pilots put her through paces trying to get jet into spin. If she did and pilot couldn’t recover he’d pull a parachute to start recovery. The battery’s were for aircraft systems that might have died…..

ORANGE IS MY FAVORITE COLOR…..

HIstory buff, my screen name on a number of forums/sites, mostly gaming ones from many years ago. I initially used the original sepia version, but later found a colorized one that I liked.

My pooch. Unfortunately, he passed a few months ago.

Bonsai. I wish I had a tree like that. I have some trees that I’ve kept going now for over ten years. I like the maples for their fall color. If I ever come across a really nice tree, I’ll buy it now that I’ve had success keeping my trees alive through many winters. I would hate to get a really old tree just to kill it, which was exactly what happened to some of the early trees I bought. Thankfully they were not very old.

I don't remember why I picked this.

My avatar is one of our rib turn in boxes at a BBQ competition. I'm a KCBS BBQ judge and have cooked on a team for the last several years. Cooking is more thrilling and judging is more filling.

 

[Alan]

My usual avatar is taken from my student id card in 1974

I had really wondered about your Keanu Reeves avatar.

For some reason it always makes me think of this Mexican singer Marco Antonio Solís album cover.

It's a picture taken after a challenging hike we did in the Blue Ridge mountains near Roanoke, VA. We made it to this glorious rock overlooking the valley. I very, very carefully inched towards the edge so I could get this picture. I'm not a big risk taker, but I do have my moments and this was one of them!

It was taken very close to the time I joined this forum and was just a FIRE dreamer. I recall sitting there and pondering our future. This picture reminds me of how far we have come over the years, and all that we have accomplished. Thanks for making me think about it!

Mine was the view from the front porch of our rented little beachside Casita in Belize.

Nice!
Ambergriz? Or Caulker?

Ah yea, we know that spot! Excellent.
