Photos in profile/info

Wouldn't it be nice if we can add our photos in our profile? I guess if you have have a personal web page, you can just enter the link in the profile. But for people like me who doesn't have one, I don't have that option.

This wold be interesting, but could get out of hand. Can't you see Catman's picture with Yaz & Eddie, or maybe even better, just Yaz & Eddie. Maybe baobab would have a tree, and the AusTxHiker would have a person wandering over the Texas Hill country. Even Ol' JAWs might post a picture of Great White Shark. And, we could all imagine *grin* what Beckles would do.

I'd be happy to assist in the creation of an on-line Flyertalk "peanut gallery". I'm sure I can eek out some spare bandwidth somewhere.

Anyone who would want their picture posted with their handle on a new page of this type should e-mail it to me as an attachment. If enough people are interested, I'll put it all togethr and post it. (Beyond obscenity, I will not exert any editorial control.)

Lemme know if anyone's interested.....

I'll send in a picture but as I have mentioned before, my wife and I have created a personal website that includes photos from our wedding in Maui and pics of my 8 month old baby in Calgary, Vail, Pennsylvania and Arizona.

This baby gets around...I had a gate agent in stiches when I had my son hand her my UA Prem Ex card in PHX last month. He'll have his own as soon as he turns 2.

I have my homepage link in my profile, but the whole address doesn't show up so I don't know if anyone can find my homepage.

My homepage with a picture is http://members.wbs.net/homepages/a/u/b/aubie34.html

I do not know how to set up a webpage, but if you want NJ David I can send a picture of myself from Maui (and one of Yaz and EDDIE -- watch it JAWS!) to you by snailmail if you want.

This will prove I am not a cat but a good
looking JERZEE BOY with very handsome and
star quality cats! CATMAN

I've uploaded the draft / prototype of our "Rogue's Gallery". I decided to use some of the free AOL space I abandoned many years ago (but still pay the grandfathered $4.95 per month for, just in case).

I'm still happy to do this, but I've only received two pictures via e-mail. If you don't have the ability to E-mail a Jpeg or Bitmap file, e-mail me, and I'll tell you how to "snail-mail" me with an old-fashioned photo.

On the other hand, let me know if this is a stupid idea that I should abandon before I further embarass myself.

Either way, check it out and let me know.

I need a wide-angle for pictures of me. Is that a problem?

The web publisher is the ultimate gatekeeper. Just indicate taller, shorter, wider or thinner and I'll accomodate.

Some updates:

I've added some more pictures that were sent. I've been asked to repost the URL (just cut and paste as below):

HTTP://members.aol.com/flyerpics/wanted.htm

I've been asked to remind everyone that If you do not have a JPG file of your desired picture, you can e-mail me, and I'll give you instructions on sending me a snail-mail photograph that I will be happy to scan and return.

And finally, if you're too shy or embarrassed to send your picture, pick one you like from the internet and send it. I for one would kinda like the idea that one of my Flyertalk buddies looks so much like Meg Ryan it's amazing.

Dave
