Mine is me flying my powered hang glider from the field next to my house. For the technically minded its a Scandal wing with Mosquito NRG attachment. I chose it to show off natch.

Mine is a pair of Morris dancer's feet. I've been dancing for thirtythree years now so it seems to sum up who I am.

My avatar (which I just changed) is from the Joel-Peter Witkin photograph Melvin Burkhart, Human Oddity. I considered photoshopping the nail into a whistle, but... nah.

Uh, mine is not me. Mine was kindly created by our very own Walden. It is meant to be a Terrapin, because I graduated from the University of Maryland.

All the Best, Tom

Mine is a picture of me, but it's 4 years old. I have been trying to make another one (I have a very recent picture), but for some reason, when I make the image smaller, it gets weird (my eyes move to the wrong places, etc.). Hmph.

Well, I thought it was about time to get one... Obviously not me, but I'll find one later.

There is a really neat lady who does fantacy photos of fairies etc. I was lucky enough to be one of her earlier fairies. Last weekend we took all of our little kids and a few adults and took pics of them in an English country garden and in thier little wood. We are hoping to use one of the pics as a cover for my whistle tutorial book. I will put some up in the "Cutie pie kids" section!

I really like the avitar as it helps us to see each other a little clearer, either by a real picture or our alter egos!

I have a new piece of art I'd like to use for an avatar, but I don't know how to re-size it and compress it to the correct size. It was done with Microsoft Paint and saved in photo editor. If the modification process can't be fairly easily explained, I could e-mail it to a volunteer who would be willing to do it for me. PM me if you're able and/or willing.

Thanks!

Hi, Jim.

If someone hasn't yet volunteered, I'll be happy to format your image for an avatar.

Best wishes,
Jerry

Thanks, Jerry, I e-mailed it to you.

Have you checked http://images.google.com/images?q=wombat?

Sonja, Excellent Idea. I'd been looking for a good Irish flute graphic and I keep forgetting that Google lets you search for images.
Any way during the search if found the following page. If I could figure out how to make it into a single animated Gif (its a Java animation) I'd have to consider it as my avatar. Check out his whistler at: http://www.irelandseye.com/paddy3/monsta3.html

I'm so Yahoo'd I need to get arround more...

My new aviator! A self portrait, with technical assistance from Walden and Jerry (thanks, lads).

omg. I love that.

I didn't see your request Jim or I would have done it.

This current avatar (subject to change, of course) is a lh/lh BEW that I love. I forgot I had all these mouse pictures on webshots. I also forget if it's the same mouse because I had so many lh/lh BEWs.

Yep, this is really me, two years ago. Was leading the singing for our church's VBS program (theme was the rain forest). We transformed the sanctuary in an amazon jungle, compete with working waterfall! I wore,...well you can probably figure it out!

I don't have one of me! I'm usually the one behind the camera, but one of these days I'll get a pic of myself.
