Self Portrait Thread

[troubleagain]

Geez, Diana, I'd have killed to have had hair like that in the '80's. I never could manage big hair.

[Paul in Qatar]

I got what you call "animal magnetism."

[Diana]

I still have a hard time managing small hair. I was in high school at the right time, because my hair just naturally wants to be big. My hair was super-thick and wavy back then, but oddly it didn't get curly until I got pregnant with my daughter, and then it just never un-curled.

ETA Paul, those pictures are great! And jali, vodka is an excellent preservative. :wink:

[ivan astikov]

Love me, love my ex-dog.

[Batman]

You don't look Russian at all!

[jali]

Hey Dr. ah.. Doolittle! Hi Paul in Saudi. Where are the cats? :wink:

[ivan astikov]

You don't look Russian at all!

Sssh! I'm not meant to. I'm incognito for this assignment.

[jali]

Love me, love my ex-dog.

The photo feels a little sad, ivan a. Both of you look just a little sad to me. I wonder if it's because I know that he passed away and that you miss him.

We both look really deep in thought, don't we. We weren't always that serious! :smile:

Here’s some one of my favorite self-portraits, although technically they shouldn’t be considered true “self portraits.” They’re pictures of me playing movie roles. The series was created to copy Cindy Sherman’s series of “untitled film stills,” in which she is the subject, but is never herself. The first one is my favorite.

[jali]

Are you Dante in #2?

[garygnu]

Are you Dante in #2?

No specific role, but that's the general idea.

[Diana]

garygnu, those are really good, and I do especially like the first one. I've always loved that series.

[eleanorigby]

I like you as the mad axe killer. It suits you.


jali--you're very pretty! And your kids were (are?) adorable!

I said it somewhere before, but I'll say it again: we're a good looking bunch o' folk. :smile:

[jali]

Thanks. ER! I think they're still adorable kiddies.

I'm allergic.

I am on the left. (Dec 2008)



Now I'm on the right. (Dec 2007)



Now I'm DANCIN. (Fall 07)

[Malacandra]

Finally - couldn't do it from Skydrive or from Picasa so I opened a Photobucket account just for this. :smile: Here I am in my little study.

[Angua]

At a mate's wedding in July 2008



Trying to figure out if the dress was good or not in May 2008

[TheFlame]

Go on then.

This is from when I was on holiday in New Zealand at the beginning of last year.

[Chimera]

Fucking Hippy!

[Badtz Maru]

If we're going to do pictures that we didn't take ourselves...

Me at my wedding with my stepson.



My wife, my mother, and myself at my wedding. I need to remember not to smile in pictures, I ALWAYS look retarded.



My wife and me cutting the cake.

[troubleagain]

My....you are a Big Dude! Fortunately, you look like a Nice Dude, too!

[Dangerously Unqualified]

Go on then.

Were you on vacation with Cheech and Chong?

My most recent self-portrait is from November in Lisbon, in a pretty cool-looking section of town. I had just come back from a rainy walk along the Atlantic, and was craving a yummy döner kebab.


Here I am a few years ago in Beijing, spending several minutes trying to take a decent self-portrait in front of the Forbidden City. The rest of my group was waiting for me near the entrance, so I had to give up and settle for this closed-eyes shot. Though I think the shot turned out pretty well for the guy in the white shirt on the right. I bet it's one of the best photos ever taken of him, but sadly, there is a 99.99% chance he will never see it.


I've never been in a city with air as crisp as in Zurich. Seriously, the word "crisp" was on my mind my entire time there. I think this is well conveyed by the expression on my face.

[What Exit?]

Recent Picture, about two years back.

Long ago on Crewing on the Clearwater for the 20th Anniversary of Earth Week.

About age 20 on the USS Ranger.

[Dragon]

They all be me. Bawahahahaha

[Claptree]

That is one jolly dude.

[Petrobey]

That is one jolly dude.

Who looks like he might have had an interesting life.

Good montage, Dragon. Or may I call you Dr. Agon?

[Elyanna]

I like the spiky beard up in the upper right corner.

[criminey.jicket]

I like the spiky beard up in the upper right corner.

My fave is the one on the far right, second from the bottom.

Looks like I'm not the only one who's...bulked up...over the years

I can see the Yankees logo on your shirt in the top picture.

[Laughing Lagomorph]

Yeah, yeah, I'm late to the party. Sue me.

[Dragon]

Took this Tuesday afternoon, 4-21-09

[XJETGIRLX]

I like your current haircut more than the one from two years ago. I love the big earrings.
Cool tee shirt too.

Is that a regular flashlight or is it some hip thing I know nothing about?

Looks more like a sonic screwdriver to me.

[troubleagain]

Santa!

[Dragon]

Santa!

:wink:

[featherlou]

Dammit - are we all going to have to be good if Santa's on our board?

[troubleagain]

Nah, this Santa's WAY cool.

[jali]

Yeah, yeah, I'm late to the party. Sue me.

'Bout time! Mucho bettah than your avatar!

[featherlou]

I had to go find that glowy setting Eleanor was talking about - here's me glowing -



I'm always looking to the side in these pictures - it must be where the countdown timer is or something.

[featherlou]

I'm really happy with the way this one turned out - I think it really captures my essence -

[Laughing Lagomorph]

Yeah, yeah, I'm late to the party. Sue me.

'Bout time! Mucho bettah than your avatar!

I'm glad you approve. That's the scruffy relaxed weekend morning look.

Now, about your avatar...




featherlou that's scary!

[chacoguy]

I like it; if that picture and the actual featherlou touched, we'd all disappear in the blinding flash of a thousand suns.

[criminey.jicket]

I'm really happy with the way this one turned out - I think it really captures my essence -

My featherlou, you're positively radiating!

[Baldwin]

I'm really happy with the way this one turned out - I think it really captures my essence -

You're in the Star Trek antimatter universe.

[XJETGIRLX]

That negative setting is awesome. I had to wear a 24-hour heart monitor recently and it kind of made me feel like a cyborg so I took a picture:

[OtakuLoki]

I'm really happy with the way this one turned out - I think it really captures my essence -

So.... you're a Twilight Vampire?
