Let's see the full shot your avatar came from.

[Nobie]

Mine looks innocent enough, just a head shot of the old SNL character Mr. Bill that was tortured his entire life...Oh nooooooo!!!

Well, I take Mr. Bill with me on occasion and subject him to cruel and unusual punishment. Let me pull back from what you see in the avatar...



Yuck, didn't see that one coming did you. He got pretty upset with me the day this occurred and I found him contemplating life...



I have another shot of his contemplating from outside this window, 20 stories up but alas, that would exceed my two pic limit now wouldn't it.


Let's see your "full" avatar.

it's a crop of a wave splashing against a cement barrier at a nearby park.

I dunno why I picked it I wasn't using person avatars anywhere, so I probably just liked the shot at the time. It was one of the better ones from my first attempts at using a lightbox.

I did about two weeks of a threesixtyfive last fall, and this was probably the best of them.

That's a great shot. What's funny though is you can equally imagine a yawn...or that somebody just poked you in the eye.

Mine is not even cropped, just scaled down. I saw this in a store window in Seattle and thought it was cute, I have some other friends who are pirate-obsessed, so thought it could work as an avatar.

...or that somebody just poked you in the eye.

Fortunately it was a yawn.

Took this on a dive off the Big Island last summer:



Here is another of the same turtle with my wife giving him a little pat on the back:



It's one of my favs from the whole trip.

My 6 year old daughter and I were playing "guess what I'm taking a picture of" with my Blackberry. This is one she took of me and I liked it. The resolution is nothing special but I think it works for a small image.
