Heren, do you know kung fu?

Mac, why the annoyed expression? And stop it with that "look even worse than real life...blah blah blah", you know you look good.

I wonder when Nogrod will reveal himself?

I passionately hate my old picture, so here's another, for which my hatred is slightly less intense (though I still hate it). I'm blonde, not redheaded - it's the lighting (the same mischevious lighting that had it's way with Lommy's hair, no doubt!)

littlemanpoet · 04-15-2007, 08:02 PM

Okay, how do you do that - - - putting a picture actually in the post body?

I know how to make an attachment, but that other stuff..... ????

Rikae · 04-15-2007, 08:04 PM

Click on the little yellow and gray postcard above the window, and put the url in there.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 04-15-2007, 08:05 PM

That photo is all wrong LMP. . .you look way to skinny for how I picture you.

littlemanpoet · 04-15-2007, 08:09 PM

So I'm fat in your imagination? Great!

Oh well, the pic is not a url but a home file. Sigh. Thanks anyway.

I believe he already has...

Yeah, here it is.

Though I declare that a photo of him and Lommy together still needs to be posted on this thread.

Since everyone's posting photos, here's a more recent one of me, I guess.

(I wanted to post a photoshopped one, but decided I should give you guys a more accurate depiction of me

)

It will be taken when my little sister finally gives up and joins the 'downs so we can have a nice family portrait of the three of us...

Thanks for the compliment!

I will still insist on not being really good-looking, I'm sorry.

When I decided to finally put a picture on here, I took a lot of photos of myself and in the end the annoyed one was simply the only one which I judged to be remotely passable (you honestly don't want to see the others). I always look stupid when I'm smiling on photos.

They're just painfully cute. In fact, I think I'm developing a bruise.

Here's a newer picture of me. Maybe I'll send it to Tigerlily for the website. I haven't decided yet, though.

The Might · 04-19-2007, 08:13 AM

I like the necklace, makes me think of Arwen's Star

Anguirel · 04-23-2007, 11:30 AM

Let's see if this works...me in Delhi, in, ah, local costume...

Mithalwen · 04-23-2007, 12:27 PM

That fabric is gorgeous ..... and the woodwork in the background is rather fab too...

Nogrod · 04-23-2007, 04:32 PM

I sent this to Tigerlily but I thought I might share it with you in here as well as one never knows how often she will update the pages and what she will edit out of it (it's a good thing if she edits parts of it to be sure)...

So finally I found a picture of me in an electronic format that is not dark as a night...

This is from Tartu (Estonia) last spring. The woman on the left is the teacher of Russian and French in our school and Lommy's homeroom teacher...

Nogrod · 04-23-2007, 04:58 PM

... and I'm having quite a terrible hangover. That's easy to spot...

Thinlómien · 04-24-2007, 12:51 AM

(He normally looks less scary and smiles more...

)

Macalaure · 04-24-2007, 03:25 AM

Except the long hair, Nogrod has a shocking resemblance to my former sports and history teacher on that picture.

Hookbill the Goomba · 04-24-2007, 03:33 AM

I see that Anguirel is looking a little less murderous in this picture.

Nogrod, it looks like your part of some kind of heist!

But he does have cutlery to hand so one would approach with caution....

Lalwendë · 04-24-2007, 03:44 PM

Hmmm...

lmp does not look like Bill Bryson at all in this new picture. I see he may have been insulted...

Nogrod looks as though he ought to be in Metallica.

I like Anguirel's hair - it's very nice indeed.

Of course he has good taste as those specs are a bit like mine...I favour the more dark, masculine frames when I wear specs.

You totally read my mind.

Though actually I was thinking more like Iron Maiden or, more suitably, a good Finnish metal band...true metal, not grown men who "rock out" with Avril Lavigne....*shudders*.....

And I'd just like to say that so many of you all have such a lovely sense of fashion.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 04-24-2007, 08:23 PM

I know you can't see my shaved head and all due to the same hat I was wearing a year ago in the pic on our lovely Tig's photo page, but picture update...

We had a spontaneous photo adventure in the art studio last night. This shot was taken of me dancing, no music necessary. Ignoring the photographer. Welcome to my world.

Oh my! And I don't even care too much for heavy metal...

Though I use quite a lot of black. But there's normally some bright red or even yellow to counter it.

That pic looks great Fea! And it looks an art studio as well...

Nilpaurion Felagund · 04-25-2007, 08:20 AM

Look, spawn, they got to post a couple's photo first!

Curses!

(Seriously, you look cute together.)

Heh, cute.

Shush. I thought you were dead.

I thought you were dead.

Nice picture.

Roa_Aoife · 04-25-2007, 09:50 PM

Curses! Nogrod's hair is longer than mine! *rushes off to grow hair to hip length*

Fea, your artistry is truly astounding sometimes.

Also, because it's available and someone suggested it, here are my wedding pictures .

The Only Real Estel · 04-25-2007, 09:58 PM

Hmm. Well I don't have the time to put a more recent picture up in the thread any other way so I'll just attach one..

Gotta love pictures being taken while you're playing video games.

Thank you, but I give my friend full credit. We had two cameras and one model. By the end of the night, they'd convinced me to model instead while they played with light and angles, we'd filled two memory cards, and a few gems like this one showed up. I'm toying with resurrecting my deviantart account to post shots ranging from landscapes to artistic nudes. We're prolific and not half bad. But like I said, credit for this shot goes to K. I didn't even know she was taking pictures at the time.

They weren't for a long time but I guess they're getting pretty long again. *needs to go to the barbers again* This lazy I am. So the long hair is not because I think it's cool but because I think there are better things to do than sitting an hour in a chair while someone cuts your hair...

Nice pics Roa (even a bit too many of them - I looked at them to some forty or something). And the wedding dress was just marvellous! The red ribbons (?) fit in just beautifully and made the whole thing look something on it's own! *hats off*

Folwren · 04-26-2007, 10:13 AM

Roa, that was a gorgeous wedding!! Possitively beautiful. Yes, I looked at all the pictures.

Wedding pictures always make me cry.......

-- Folwren

Rune Son of Bjarne · 04-26-2007, 10:22 AM

Well, I only got through the first 115 of them, but I must say that it was nice to see that there is a bit of colour on roa's skin.

Anyways it looked like a very nice wedding, but I can only imagine the athmosphere as it looked very unlike the weddings I have attended.

Rikae · 04-26-2007, 01:05 PM

Roa's wedding pictures - *gets teary eyed*.

You look so beautiful & you two make such a cute couple...and that dress ---*dies*.

Sorry everybody, excuse my fit of girlyness. (But...wedding photos!

)

Boo Radley · 04-26-2007, 01:41 PM

Very nice pictures, Roa.
I shot weddings to help put myself through college, ages ago. It's a tough job and one I'd never do again, but it looked as if your photographer did a pretty good job.

Speaking of photos... against my better judgement (Oh, like I even HAVE a better judgement!), here's a shot of me, taken when I was a test pilot back in the '50's.

Brinniel · 04-26-2007, 03:36 PM

Fea, I absolutely love that photo. I can't help but to say that you really remind me of one of my suitemates... (and that's a good thing, I promise)

Roa, those are some wonderful wedding photos. Not to mention, you look absolutely stunning in that dress. Very lovely indeed.

Ooh...browsing through these wedding pictures gets me all excited for my sister's wedding. Only four more months!

Insulted? I had to google him to see what he looks like. I can see the resemblance to the old pic - the smile. He has more hair.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 04-27-2007, 04:41 AM

Nice photos, including the ones I hadn't seen in the gallery.

Diamond18 · 04-28-2007, 01:32 PM

TORE: I think I've said this before, but, I want your hair.

Roa: That has to be the coolest wedding dress/tiara, like, ever.
