Here's how I look like:
the first is quite similar to reality, the second at my degree with a cousin who likes dressing up as mafiaman, 3rd with my beloved ones and my first tan in ten years, after a month studying in Tunisia

I'll give this a shot and see how a low-res webcam image turns out.
I guess I'll add to this scarefest...
I'm sure no one has an image of me that even approaches reality...:p
Hey Ed - is that the old "circumference at chest height" data collection? Man, do I get some mileage out of that in my lectures...
I always thought that was you in your avatar? (Can't really see your face in the forest pic., but the shave looks good. ;) )
Anyway, nice to see a forestry Prof. who actually gets out in the field. Must be bred from different stock in the US :tu

Here's a B&W self-portrait I took in late 2005...

Aaaaaaand...one from even earlier that year with my sweetheart, Mary Jane. I don't have much of anything up-to-date online at the moment.

That is probably the most menacing mandolin-playing pose I've seen to date.
Yep, the avatar is my office persona, but I try to maintain my 'street cred' with the local logging crews and with my graduate students by spending some time in the woods on occasion. The nice thing about a faculty position is that I can choose when to head to the field...typically when the temps are in the mid 70's (~23C) and the sun is shining :w .
I always get a kick out of explaining DBH (diameter at breast height) to non-foresters. One of the best conversations I can remember was with a faculty member in foreign languages who I had hired to translate an old French manuscript for me. We met to discuss her progress and she was thrilled at all of the new things she was learing by being involved with the project. I asked her what in particular she was learning and she said that she never knew that trees had breasts. I apparently looked confused so she turned to a portion of the translated manuscript where the author was reporting the height to the trees breast. I started laughing, explained the mistake, and she proceeded to argue with me for the next 20 minutes explaining why I must be wrong.
Cheers,
Ed
