Identify Your Avatar

[GioCar]

I do! Your username gives a very big hint.

My username? Are you sure?
Could be only if I change one letter...

It's a car, purchased in 1924 i think, owned by a motor enthusiast and composer of operas.....

Useless fact: this is the first of my avatars (except one) that is not a photo taken by me.

edit: now back to my photos again, sorry <_<

And nice photos they were, too.

still I don't see how you could have guessed it from my username...(beside the obvious "Car")

[Ken B]

Yeah, my avatar isn't going anywhere.

He does look a determined fellow.

Looks like 'Giacomo' a little

There is a hysterical (in both senses) clown scare in America this month. It's not all funny. Near where I lived two teenager girls face jail time for scaring younger teens by wearing clown costumes.

My avatar is not actually the NPL committee; it is Emmett Kelly.

Current avatar: Stravinsky looking at a score with beret on = epitome of coolness.

I know flattery is supposed to get you nowhere (and it never has!)....but I rather like the way you constantly change your Avatar. It's always someone different. Mirror Image....of who?! It makes you a little mysterious. Like the Scarlet Pimpernell! Anyway,when people keep using the same Avatar,I start picturing them looking like that. I don't look a bit like Daniel Jones,by the way!! More like Peter Mennin,actually!!

Love this image.

My avatar is my username. It was either that or a photo of my face after sparring with a good (although retired) amateur middleweight - and I wouldn't subject anyone to seeing that.

Mirror Image is  responsible for me being able to recognise so many composers now. His avatars are an education.

I love the elastic band accessory 
I had an old OM1 with that issue

Ah, you understand. The number of times it has provoked such as "... nonsense! I worked for National Geographic for thirty years man and boy and was regularly chased by herds of stampeding elephants, Mighty Joe Young, and the entire cast and crew of Daktari, and not once did my camera 'open' by accident!"
But years ago a 16 year old me was handed an elastic/rubber band by a press photographer who said "Cheapest insurance policy in the world".

That was good advice

He was also the one who told me to make sure that when I take a manual focus lens off that I first turn it to infinity, so that if I have to use a lens in a hurry I'm not hunting back and forth for the focus - I'm only turning in one direction.
I remember him fondly. He was a cool guy. And funnily enough he was Irish.

[cilgwyn]

Great! I'm picking up some camera tips,here. Turn it to infinity. I'll remember that. Thanks!

You're welcome.
And while you're learning camera stuff, I'm learning what composers look like. That's a win/win.
