Barrow-Downs Gallery
 

A while back there was a thread where links to pictures of Barrow-Downers were posted, but is no longer running. Could we perhaps start it up again? I found it fun to be able to see what people looked like.

Nim ;)

There was a thread about that here , and the link in Alkanoonion's sig still works, but I believe he said he got too busy to maintain the site.

If there is interest in getting a fresh picture page up, I can volunteer some webspace and time. Let me know :)

I'd be interested, Tigerlily. I can actually help out, if you need it. I don't know what I'm doing (grin), but I learn fast.

I'd be interested too... it's a cool idea.

Oh, of course, the actress is all for a picture page- wants to show us common folk how much better looking big stars are. :p ;)
Ya got my thumbs up.

Oh, phantom, if it were up to me I'd hide up in my clocktower and no one would ever see me :)
Being an actress doesn't make one "good looking"... no to say I haven't gotten cat calls and stuff... but cat calls and actual compliments are two different ballparks. Besides, phantom, I don't have a webpage set up for myself, unlike some other *cough*phantom*cough* people here ;)

So, perhaps we can somehow set up a way for people to send me their pictures and I can set it up? Hmmm... let's wait and see how many more people are interested, and then maybe we can have people PM me for contact info or something?

I would certainly be interested - it was interesting to see it, and the previous thread about the gallery stretched to quite a number of pages. That fact, along with the interest shown in threads such as 'what do you think other barrowdowners look like', are evidence that a fair number of Downers would be interested in the idea, and the continuance of the gallery.

Oh, you want reassurance that more people are interested? Well, count me in! I would love to see the gallery back - it was really interesting. Although I don't think I ever got around to sending my picture in, I think I'll make an effort for this one. ;)

This is the oppertunity to refresh and get a new picture. Yay! You all can see my new Haircut in which most of my long flowing locks are gone...

New Pic Page=Very Yes

Holler if I can help.

Sounds most excellent to me. I just hope Phantom can be convinced to give us a pic without a mask... ;)

Okay, well, hows about the interested folks send me a PM and then I'll send them my email address for sending the pictures. I don't want to just post it on the boards.
So, PM me, I'll reply with my email address, send me a pic, and I'll get started on this project :)

Great idea!

I think that it's a great idea, if you're willing to take it on. It would be worth trying to get in touch with Alkanoonian to see if he can send you the pictures that were on the gallery that he maintained, as there are quite few members still posting who had pictures up there.

Sounds like a great idea Tigerlily Gamgee.
To help I can forward to your E-mail a zipped file containing all the member’s pictures that I have, alternatively you could just start fresh.
:smokin:

That's cool... I sent you a PM with my email in it.

So far I've received 3 PMs from interested people, and I've received one picture via email.

So (everyone), if you don't have a picture on the old page and want one on the new one, then PM me. If you have a picture on the old page but want a new/different picture on the new one, then PM me.
Otherwise, if you have a picture on the old page it will automatically go on the new one unless you contact me to say that you don't want it included.
Thanks :)

ETA: I swear, it's sad when I look at my post count everytime I post now... I had over 1500 posts before these boards were redone or switched over, or whatever happend. I just remember not being able to sign on for quite some time, giving up, and then trying again and finding that my posts had majorly diminished, and my user pic was gone. Le sigh. I need to find my motivation to get scholarly again.

I'll try to become an appreciative reader of your scholarly posts, once provided :)

Replying in order to move this to the top again, so that maybe more interested parties will see it.
I haven't started the page yet because I haven't received enough piccies. So, I'm still waiting for the piccies to come on in.

Pic link
 

I think I sent you my pic link

How many pictures have you got so far, Tigerlilly, and how many has Alk given you? Approximately how many do you ideally want before setting up the page?

I have only received pics from three people so far, so I'm gonna wait until I get more to put the page up. It takes a while for my file manager to open because there is so much in there, so once I have it open I like to do a lot at once. Otherwise I wait forever for it to open and then do almost nothing... it's almost not worth the wait, heh.
So, get your pics in, peeps. So far I have pics from Amanaduial the Archer, Paavo, and Feanor of the Peredhil

*bump*
 

Just wondering if anything has been done on this. I know, I haven't done anything and I am the one who brought it up, but I am not very skilled in the use of computers. :p ;)

See above post. I'm waiting on the members to send in pictures. There's no point in putting together a page if there are only four pictures on it.

I have a picture to share but not sure where to send it .Please advise.
Fair winds, Alquadae

PM me and I shall send you my email address.
That goes for anyone who wants to send in a picture... PM me, because I don't want to publicly post my email address here :)

So you need an actual pic and not just a link to a pic? I'll PM it to you shortly.

No, a link would work, but I don't believe I got one of those from you. It must've gotten eaten by cyberspace.

Tigerlily-

I have sent you a PM.

That's great! Now I just have to find a nice picture. Now that will be a task! :p

If I can ever find the picture of my family in Hobbit costume, I'll send that in, but it may be a while.

Tigerlily, has Alk sent you the pictures that he has yet? If not, you can save them to file from his site.

Nope, I have no received them yet. I suppose I could do that, yes, but it will take a while. I'll check that out tomorrow, if I get a chance before going off to work.

Hmmm... the pictures aren't all labeled on his site, so it would be quite a task to organize and rename them. Perhaps we should just start anew???

Tig, on Alk's site, if you hover your mouse over the pics, used to be that the writing in the bottom corner of the screen (where the browser tells when it's done and stuff) will show the name of the link, which *should* have the name of the person in it.

Sorry I was going to send the pictures via E-mail but the file size was huge some pictures 16Mb. :eek:

here is a picture of me today taken on my motorola c975 phone, . :smokin:

Alk: That pic makes me think you must be at least related to Gino Acevedo. :eek: :)
