Picture The Ancient Coin Collector

Wow, love the 80's look.

We have a lot of new members here. It would be nice to meet them face to face sort of speech. How about posting your pictures?

Here is my Uncle and me in December at the temple. My avatar is my great uncle if you are curious who was a furrier in NY.

You guys make me feel young!! haha

With all the new members here, it would be nice to put a face to who we are communicating with. Please post some pictures.

Decided to participate as well - though I'm not sure if I count as an ancient coin collector

...It was actually somewhat tricky to find a photo of me that was tied to my online identity (as opposed to my regular identity).
Fortunately, a very nice one showed up recently.



This photo is actually surprisingly close to what I look like now... even though back then my hair was something like a foot longer than it is today.
(You can't see any of the extra hair because it was all tied up in a neat ponytail behind my back. I didn't realize it was that invisible until I actually looked at the full-sized file of the photo, however.)

That said, IIRC, I've sadly since lost the nice cap (actually lost, that is, not misplaced - I unwisely kept it in my hood during the non-raining parts of rainy summer days, and one day it fell out while I was running to catch a bus).
Might have been a different nice cap, however.


Cropped from this file (a photo from a geohash expedition report).

As it happens, both the original photo and the crop I'm posting here are mirrored (I have no idea why); sadly I didn't find a "mirror" function on the CCF optimizer.

(And yes, that's June, and I'm pretty much dressed for the weather. Compared to most American and European places, Moscow has a fairly cold summer.)


[EDIT: fixed a typo]

Come on folks, lets see some new faces here.

Nice to see a new face here.
