Ivo, you're nothing close to the fabricated image of you I had swirling in my head.
Cheers

You can't explain really how you put together an image of someone based on just reading posts, but I was picturing a British chap in tweed smoking a pipe while handing out valuable info on using a straight --- I don't know why really -- maybe just the combination of "cheers" and "Ivo" -- but let's just say I was far off.
Later,
Justin
that's too funny!
But when I was on a business trip in London once I was told by a fellow Canadian that he thought I'd fit in well in London (I truly love London, but my all-time favorite European city must be either Paris or Prague)
Cheers
Ivo
Anyway glad to see (meet) you for the first time --- you can put away the tweed and pipe now --- so I've gone from someone like Mr. Pitt on Seinfeld to Ricardo Montalban ;)
All in good fun,
Justin
Nice picture there Ivo, got to love that expression. Though I am curious, is that the look of exhaustion, or annoyance?
Here's me and my fiancee shortly after I proposed

Here's me eating one of those cornstarch packing peanuts. I had not yet discovered straight razors.

This is one of me in Spain:
It's hard to get a tan at night, even in Florida.
Dang I look white in this pic , must have been the flash.
Notice the shadow? I shaved like 10 mins before this pic ! Shaving with a disposable looks like a days growth.
WELL GOOD GRIEF!!!
You don't look ANYTHING like Alfred Hitchcock!!!
(...boy...lucky for you, MY mental picture was WAY off!...)
Good to meet your face!

I'm like a chameleon lol, my appearance changes from time to time.
So far I've been bald a couple of times, red headed, blonde or highlighted. Have also had a "boz" haircut at one point in my youth lol. Most of my hairstyles were the result of beauty school and girls who wanted to
use me for a guinea pig lol. At the moment, I've shaved my stache off and letting it grow back in. The handlebar had gotten long in the tooth and made me appear as if I had mange, was kind of thin on one side and full on the other.

Oh I'll look like that in 25 years all right.
Most of the older men in my family have that look.
Gramps looked just like my avatar. Uncle Bruce did too before he retired(read got fat). I don't have a pic of gramps but
there is a pic of my uncle Bruce and my avatar, which is the " 14 Strokes" here http://straightrazorpalace.com/showthread.php?t=12006
Wow, I just looked up a pic of Hitchcock, somehow I had never seen one and he is just the spitting image of gramps if you add a chin and a scowl. Maybe a little more forehead too.
Here is four Longfellows. Do you see a theme? One more of me too, haven't seen the sun in months.
Here's a YouTube cut of the original 'Alfred Hitchcock Presents' TV series from...what...late 50's?...early 60's?...watch and listen to the intro....(I grew up on this stuff! - I can still hear that opening music)...
Alfred Hitchcock Presents
An interesting side note - Hitch did a cameo appearance in every one of his big screen pictures.
After going to your link, I see that your avatar is from a shaving text/manual. All this time, I thought it was from the old Alfred Hitchcock series......
.....my bad!
-whatever

Yea. This is me in my office.
Interesting - what do you work?
Ivo
Hi, Ivo,
I am a Professor of Music at a college.
Glad to meet you, Ron
Both of my parents are performing musicians (currently duo - clarinet & piano in Germany). My mom was a performer, then a teacher for a long time, then retired young and now in her late 50s she's returning to the stage :) My dad conducted a bit but has always been a performer, for a while one of my country's best jazz saxophone players (when he was younger, now he's still great but the young guys have left him behind in terms of thinking evolution, as well as skills. He still has the heart though :)
Cheers
Ivo
I can whistle :roflmao
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
F
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
:roflmao :roflmao
Excellent! I do a fair bit of research with foresters over here. A lot of them come from industry into the academic sphere - makes a nice change to interact with a more pragmatic mindset, I must say. Interesting project a the moment with foresters and owners from Scandinavia...anyway :OT but thanks for the laugh!
James.
Noam, I thought I was looking at a poster of Prince, (or The Artist Formerly Known as Prince). You must have some luck with the ladies, because there has not been a girl I have meet that does not just go weak at the knees when they think about that man. Cheers
Here I am, and another doing what I do. Although I don't always get to slice up that much sushi grade tuna often :p
No raw fish eaters either!!:rolleyes:
:eek: :w ";"
Nobody with a sense of humor either!!:D
