Happy Fathers Day to all the grouchy old and not so grouchy and old photographers (dads granddads, and unofficial dads and granddads) out there!

I wanted to update my avatar picture but I could no find a nicely retouched selfie so I was thinking of this one.

Whaddya think?

Happy Fathers Day to you too. The avatar looks suspiciously like me.

Duly noted. I could sign on to the site and get permission but I guess I am better off creating my own. Too bad, my grandchildren thought it was a perfect characterization of "grandpa"!

I kinda like the picture of the old guy in the Disney movie, "Up" or maybe a caricature of Andy Rooney as my avatar.

Yup!" I get no respect! I walk into a men's clothing store and ask to see something in a cheap suit- the guy tell me to come in and look in the mirror"! Rodney was my favourite comic!

Remember when he played a photographer in a movie. That scene where he is shooting a kid wit a Speed Graphic and loses his temper made me laugh uncontrollably. The other folks in the theatre and my wife must have thought I was insane. I guess they never tried to photograph as many uncooperative kids as I did- but I never lost my temper- but sometimes and at the end of the day, I was a mental basket case!

I think the avatar you have been using is great. I have been wanting to ask, what is the camera you are holding? thanks

Thanks! It's my old Hasselblad 500ELM with a 40mm Super-Wide Biogon lens.
