I had a "mo" for many many years ... then I got rid of it for many many years ...

... but these days it's back, with a matching "goatie" :)

Back in my day (a bit before yours) a "mo" would be a mohawk haircut. :D

It's just the look of sheer athleticism that appealed to me!

You look as if you should have been written about by Apsley Cherry-Garrard. Hope you have plenty of hoosh in that bag....you look as if you may be gone some time:)

Cool tripod; but no green wellies. :) I think you have a lot of equipment or a lot of sandwiches because that is a big ruksack. Just joking, I like your style and noticed early on some of your pics are exceptional Donald, one of a Hotel springs to mind. :)

I'm new, but just so you know who is posting, here I am.

Okay, I think I figured it out. :o
This pic is actually a couple of years old. My hair is whiter, and I lost the beard.

Funny shadow!

Ron, you just made my day with this story.. awesome!! :D

And more seriously, guys, why are you so critical about yourselves? You are the lucky ones - men have it easier in life to be attractive. It's all about a great interesting personality. A man with average looks but interesting personality is automatically more handsome in women's eyes, whereas a man can be another Brad Pitt in his days of glory, and it won't help him if he's dumb, selfish or boring - he just won't be attractive. Seriously, it works this way! All of you here are winners - you've got your passion - photography - which makes you interesting and stand out in the crowd. I wish it was so simple for girls - but you guys, are visual beings, and expect women to be pretty - otherwise women don't have a chance in your eyes. Well, that's how this world works.

(Besides, most of you are married, so the looks doesn't really matter anymore :D)

Hi Steve,

Sorry - only just spotted this!

He's the brother of a client of mine, whom I'd just taken for a ride. Visiting from Holland if memory serves me correctly.

They're actually different glasses, but funnily enough my nickname is "The Maverick" :) (I think the dictionary defined a maverick as someone who was undisciplined, unconventional, or an independent thinker! ... any way you look at it, that's me :)) (PS: and yes, I actually do still you Ray Ban Aviator sunglasses!).

Only with shallow-minded guys though! Personality and self-esteem win everytime in my book :)

I don't believe that's necessarily so Agata.

Sure there are pretty ones that one relishes the opportunity to talk to, but I have noticed that there are some girls/women (and even blokes) that just have 'the knack' of being bright, cheery and fun (always!). No matter what you talk to them about; you walk away grateful to have met them that day - they are quite rare though. I must try to be that kind of person myself more often, I've been a bit grumpy at work lately, too much to do - I'm sure you know the problem.

The other thing is that people tend to be different in different social situations (I know I am) and while I might seem interesting and outgoing here, I am as boring as can be without positive encouragement in real life. Perhaps that's only because I don't "wear and share" the passion at work, in the supermarket, et al.

This is getting a bit deep, so I'll end with an awkward question for you ;)

Why can't a girl have a passion, say, for photography? :)

Cheers,

hello everyone! :D

here is a photo of me during my friend's wedding. Im the guy on the right.. the smallest of the groomsmen :)

Well said agaace and Dave. Even I used to wonder how I could manage to have so many girls with me, with just-ok looks. Agaace's comment solves the mystery to an extent. And I find that I have become boring :(. I tell this to anyone I have to go out with, that YOU will have to do all the talking if you don't wish to talk about equity, debt, pets & photography. :D

And yea RIchard, Nice hairstyle ;)

hahaha thanks Sahil...

you also have a very nice hairstyle too! :D

A BIG camera, with a long lens swinging around the groin area...never fails....so get those straps adjusted boys:):)

Seriously though. Obvious signs of wealth and intelligence trigger a natural reaction. It may not be long lasting (especially if ones camera hits one in the goolies) but nature is saying "heres a good breeding candidate". Now there is problem here because even in this day and age the chemical release can still be caused by a six pack and a tendency to kick peoples heads in. That harks back to when a good mate had to bring down woolly mammoths bare handed. So in conclusion...If you are a Photographer, built like Arnie, the social skills of Manson and have a 500m lens swinging around you groin...you are in mate.
