As I say - "Getting there is half the fun" ;)

Sometimes boys just have to be boys, and when there's a puddle half way across the road....

Mine is me.. it's a crop of a pic that I had taken last year with a friend (from another forum actually) in Kews Garden in London...

I keep on meaning to change it....but find myself far too lazy to resize another pic...

Mine is one from a sequence of shots from a rider being high-sided. Turn 7 at Eastern Creek if I recall. The full size image is one of my best accident images that I have taken.

I shot this image while working on my Oamaru Male project many years ago in NZ. I was wandering about the annual A+P fair one evening and was drawn to the carousel by the sound of a kid wailing. I shot a dozen frames in quick succesion and then moved on, then realised I did not actually get the kids name (rather remiss as I was a news photographer at the time). Tthe image was shot on a Nikon F4s with a 24mm lens... print up to 20 x 24 on fibre base for the exhibition.

My cartoon hero and the source of my nickname.

Operates the heavy recovery rescue vehicle. That has no relevance what so ever.

My trusty K1000. I swear it's the camera to have if you ever get mugged. You could beat them senseless, then take a mugshot.

Currently it's from my favourite (and the only one I read) webcomic, xkcd.

This particular cartoon concerns the funny-cat-picture internet meme:

Mine is a response to a discussion we had once about people with cameras getting hassled for taking photos. So I found that T shirt and got my cow-orker to take the photo using her cellphone camera.

I find that shirt to be quite generically applicable these days.
