What do you look like?

[Mark]

Okay, we had this at the old forum (at least twice), so someone had to revive it here.

There have been plenty of new members, so if they - and long-standing members, of course - aren't shy, let's put some faces to (screen) names.

You all know me from my avatar, so here's a picture of me taken a few years ago. Quite a few years ago, actually:




Your turn.

Vanessa thinks you look like Wayne Rooney.

I have been told several times by people from different countries that I look like (maybe also because I talk like) what they expected Lao Tse to look (talk\act) like.

You had hair in different places

Bless Vanessa. Is that meant as an insult?

Paul, that's you in your avatar, yes?

Read that the wrong way and it sounds a bit ... well, creepy.

1: No, just an observation.  

2: Yes, that's me.

You had hair in different places      

Or possibly, switched places.

Good morning, Dr. I.M. Pei!

Mark - You look like you didn't really want to have your picture taken.  When I was a child, I hated to have my picture taken and I often made faces at the camera.

Here is a recent picture of me trying to look like my pioneer ancestors.  I think I did a good job of duplicating the sour facial expression that inevitably occurs on old photographs.

Man! That's scary!

[Bonehelm]

Ahhhh so many grown ups! I'm so scared!

Such cool photos, people!    (George, that photo makes you look like Bruce Willis' stunt double!  )

I don't seem to have a more current one handy, but here I am about a year ago at the far right, with composer David Lang, his wife Suzanne Bocanegra (a video artist) and composer Carlos Sánchez-Gutiérrez, at the 2006 Look & Listen Festival here in NYC.

This was taken at the 2005 Salzburg Festival one evening as I was making my way to the Pogorelich recital.  In this pic I am actually on the phone to another GMG member, who has just informed me that there's a drink waiting for me at the bar in the Karl-Böhm-Saal (hence the smile.)

Now you are required to post a post-drinking photo!

Suppose I'd better post something a bit more recent:



Me and my brothers and sister on my wedding day almost two years ago.

No I'm not a girl...
