Putting Faces to Names - (i.e. the Selfie thread)

I agree, Vivek. This is an awesome and enjoyable thread. My wife is sitting here laughing at the jump from Yoga in the Himalayas to drink in hand in Death Valley.

There are very few of my pictures anywhere from any time and this is the first time ever I am posting mine.
HI Vivek - great to see you . . . . it's interesting (to me at least) that you look just as I imagined you - so the big question is what is the cause, and what is the effect :)

. . . maybe it's just that you look like an older version of your son - and to be honest I didn't have the moustache.

Nice to finally see you, my friend!

Yeah, I think, it was the "wild man" JLM's images that pushed me to it. :)

Thanks, Jono. :)

Yup, there is a remarkable similarity. I like the greying hair and still keep the mustache because I used to get mistaken for someone much much younger. :)

Hmm. Reviewing this thread i detect a gender bias. Is it: women don't shoot Leicas; women don't hang out at GetDPI; women don't post selfies.
I reject your reality and replace it with my own! :LOL::D

This is fun and I see faces I thought I never would get to see them!
So why not me? Talking about old and grumpy :ROTFL:

This one is not a mirror but some stainless steel plate in the street a few years ago.


And here got caught by my daughter with the Canon FD 85/1.2L in the streets.

I just found this thread - it's great, but in some ways it's like seeing the face of someone you've only heard on the radio: the mental image rarely agrees with real one, e.g. ceh, even the gender is wrong!
Here’s one my wife took a few years ago in France; I’m carrying a Pentax 67 with a 35mm fisheye.



I really enjoy the behind the scenes thread as well, so here's the image I got with the fisheye:

Cars, trains, scuba, motorcycles, helicopters...might as well have an airplane shot.

In the aviation community these types of photos are referred to as "I love me" shots. This was a four ship formation practice flight in the AT-6s a few days before the EAA airshow in Oshkosh, WI. The passenger in the rear of the lead ship took this and sent it to me, sorry I don't have the name of the photographer, and I will not post this again without removing the boilerplate copyright info that Lightroom pasted here.

OK, and a couple more just for fun. Always liked to play with light.

From about seven years ago (before the gray took over my beard):

From many years ago (about 1976), pretty sure it was with a Kodak Tourist on B (...or T? Can't remember -- I still have the camera in a box somewhere):
