Thread: Why is your Username/Nickname?

Mine has been Heirphoto since I got my first computer. A previous business of mine was Heirloom Photorgraphic "Heirphoto". I used to build reproduction wooden view cameras for reenactors doing wet plate collodion photography.

Some of my cameras have been used in movies, used at the George Eastman House for teaching early processes and many are used by contemporary commercial and fine art photographers like Sally Mann and Robert Maxwell.

I got used to the name and never really thought about a more razor oriented name instead.

Tony

I'm in the witness protection program, so I could never divulge that it is one of my initials with my last name and year of birth.

ooooooooops!

rt

I usually go simply by 'X' because somebody has to represent the generation. xman is a very old nickname. I've been called that since before there was an internet or usernames.

My name and zip code (Charlotte, NC)

Easy, first, middle, first four of last...

D. A. Williams

I choose my name because my wife always tells me I spend too much on razor paraphanelia and watch collecting which is my main hobby.

In sailboat racing the boat on starboard tack (wind coming from the right side) has right of way. Shaving is a little diversion -- sailing is life!

I thought it was a Sweet Charity reference.

Well, my first name is randolph hence the randy. The dance is because I used to dance a lot. Primarily American freestyle and swing (partner dancing both).
It was my favorite activity. The number on the end is just a nonsense number.

Merry Xmas to all

Kees: it's my first name, pronounced like the English word case.
