Pictures of You, but Taken by Someone Else

[DavidWatts]

As the thread title implies. Could be an official professional portrait. Or just a silly snapshot of you doing something dumb or silly at a party. Or something in between. This could be fun -- or embarrassing, or even educational.
<-- not a picture of me, nor taken by someone else. But close.

Have at it...

So shouldn’t you start this with a picture of you?

Err, I could. My avatar is one of those. Oh, you mean something like this below?
I am doing something called "The Pose," popularized by a dude named Andy, whom some of you might have met from another photography place. The stairs in the background are the same stairs from a photo I placed in the "Stairs" thread a couple days back.

Canon Powershot S95, 22mm, f/4.9, 1/250, iso 200

I'm thinking that every thread created in the Photo sharing section should contain a photo - maybe I'll suggest this to the mods.

meanwhile, a school photo from the late '60's...

Re: Joseph's photo...
Oh man! Right. I'm not going to go back THAT far with a photo. Nope.

I like this idea. The thread starter should give at least one example of what the thread is about.

Since Edit is currently set to infinity, a photo by the OP in the top would be an easy add. I agree with this. I'm going to look at my started threads sometime tonight to see if I've done just that.

That’s more like it. If you ever visit the FoP offices or lounge, the hat can come off though. We’re kind of particular about those traditions.

In 1972 or 1973, as a student at a military high school.

In November 2011, I was thinking about the future. Since SONY was discontinuing DSLRs and I didn't want an electronic viewfinder anyway, I sold the SONY A850 and bought a Canon 5D MkIII. And today I have an R5 with an electronic viewfinder .
