St. Andrei Rublev Photo Album of TAW Members

You had a picture taken of you at a bbq, and there is no beer in your hand :eek:
Do you have a fever? Perhaps your hands were paralysed and you couldn't hold a beer mug. Are you possibly schizophrenic and it was your French personality that was photographed?
Please tell us Michael, is there anything wrong?!!!





There is of course the possibility that your mother photographed you as you were approaching the bar ;)



OUTRAGE... Barby and no bear... DAS IST UNBELIVABLE! LOL

No, I just had to drive 4 hours home and didn't want to deal with making sure that I was able to drive safely with all of the cars on the road and the police and all. I know, I was at a bbq and didn't have any German Bier. IS OUTRAGE!

Mike, at least tell me that you had a bier when you got home, ja?

By the way, nice pictures, everyone! I'll try to get some new ones of me, maybe with my mystery girlfriend Marlene (soon to be Mary, God and Hieromonk Patrick willing).

Last I heard, St. Mary Magdalene. I'll try and get some pictures of the two of us, Nickolai, and Fr. Patrick this Thursday when we go to the Late Vocations class in Pittsburgh.

I always have a good German bier when I get home. Tell the Hieromonk Patrick I said hello. That is cool to hear about your girlfriend being chrismated in the near future.

I havn't posted in a while so Here's a pic form Pascha at St. Mary's. I'm the one in the white Sticharion with the wild hair and Beard.

[ExOrienteLux]

Hey! I know a couple of those guys!

And it's your birthday today! Many years, Kolya! Looks like I'll need to get you something for tonight. How about a Primanti's sandwich, if you can convince Fr. Patrick into letting you have one?

That's all right, you don't have to get me anything. This may be hard to believe (me being from western PA and all) but I don't like Primanti's Sandwiches.

[MariaRegina]

Happy birthday. Glad you are back with us.

[Aristokles]

That is entirely understandable and believable. I prefer the Club Sandwich at Krogman's Gab n' Eat in Heidelberg, myself. Close second is the Big Fish Sandwich at Rocky's Bar down the street from Krogman's.

Have you picked out a college yet?

I'm going to the College of the Holy Cross (holycross.edu).

Yes, there's also a Greek church! I saw the OCA and the Antiochian one, but I didn't get to go into them or attend any services. I also saw an Armenian church on the way to the OCA one, so I'll have to visit that one some time out of curiosity (no I will not take communion!)

I was surprised by the Orthodox presence in the town... apparently they have a lot of communication with each other.

After quite a long time, here are some photos of me and the Mystery Girlfriend. Too bad these are a couple months old. Taken at Spring Formal.

Sorry for the bad quality, too. The friend who took the pics didn't know how to run the digital camera. I tried touching them up, but there's only so much one can do.

Us at Fisherman's Warf.

Nice pics Philip and Lotar.

Lotar, how far do you live out of SF? My sister lives in Modesto, about an hour's drive south.

Thanks. :)

I live about 6-7 hours from San Francisco. A long drive to make twice in 4 days. :D

Yes, this is the first child God has entrusted to my wife and me.

OK, so I finally have a photograph I was going to post, but I can't make the thing work (all I get is a blank box and a wait cursor when I try to attach anything). Can anyone help?

James

[Kolya]

Hi James,
You have to "up Load" the picture from your HDD. When you're in the Posting box, look at the bottom for a button "Manage Attachments". Click on that, and a box opens for you to browse your HDD to get the picture, then you click the upload button. Wait until the box says "Close Box" and submit the post, then it will display.
Hope that helps.

ATTN UFONIUM: I was just looking through the old photo gallery looking for my muttonchop picture and then noticed ufonium's pciture of her with her then-fiance-now-husband and I thought I might actually have met him once, so there are two questions: does he play jazz guitar and was he taking Czech or some other Central-European Slavic language at some time? If so, small world, if not, whatever.

Third: Tiny caves where Orthodox Christians used to hide when persecuted back in the day.

Hhaha, you'll get PLENTY of pics when my photographers get them up in 2-3 weeks. I'm guessing she took about 600-800 pictures and since it's all digital you get to see a LOT of them. My brother and cousin's husband also taped most of it. So I'm gonna have Kevin edit and then post some online. It might be a while tho... but I had a fantastic day.

(to the tune of "let it snow")

[gzt]

locusts and honey are expensive around here, man.

[Prawnik]

Start tending bees. Catch locusts in season and preserve them in the honey for a tasty year-round treat.

However, IIRC, the Forerunner ate wild honey, although that may be a trick of the translation or of my memory.

that would be awsome if I got a beard like that. To bad I dont have red hair like Erick the Red

cool thread

[Michael the Iconographer]

Just to give our young friend something to aim for, here is a twenty one year old man who has been letting his beard grow for just two and a half years.
http://www1.christianforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=53322

Have the local Bishops approached him and inquired as to whether or not he wishes to be ordained a Bishop with that beard??!! That is impressive!

pfft! A bead like that without a proper belly to hide behind it is wasted!

Hi all,

I've been away for a while (for obvious reasons) but here, finally, are a couple of pictures of Binuta taken just before we left the hospital. She's quite a bit bigger and fatter now.

So to celebrate the return of the photo Album to the stickies I thought I would post a pic of myself. This pic is all the way from march, when I went on a trip with my school. I don't have anything more recent, the only difference is my hair is a bit longer now.

For the longest time I have had you confused with Iacobus (http://www.christianforums.com/u27700) who was also a reader though he was later made a subdeacon and is or is soon going to be ordained as a deacon. And to think we used to get him confused with jamesb (http://www.christianforums.com/u27995) all the time before he changed his name.

Anyway, pleased to meet you finally, when I thought I already had :)

That's kind of what I was going for. The main difference is that I have on a different jacket in the pic. I had a certain one in mind when I made the character, and found one almost exactly like it, but just didn't have it on in that particular picture.

It helps having a 15 year old daughter. I try to look young for her so she'll walk beside me in the mall. LOL

You put your body building picture on here! Good for you! I like your picture, you DON"T look old! At least you figured out how to put your picture small in an attached thumbnail. I'm just out there big and bold! Thanks for sharing your picture with all of us at TAW. Now we can put a face to your CF Character. It's nice to know what people really look like!!!

What little hair I have isn't gray yet either, and that helps too.

It's funny how pictures lose the perspective and what you see on a 3x5 picture isn't what you see through the lense. That reminds me of another picture I saw. When the pictures were developed everyone saw what looked like a basket of fruit on a guy's head.

:D
From GKC's essay "On Lying in Bed"

I examined the walls; I found them to my surprise to be already covered with wallpaper, and I found the wallpaper to be already covered with uninteresting images, all bearing a ridiculous resemblance to each other. I could not understand why one arbitrary symbol (a symbol apparently entirely devoid of any religious or philosophical significance) should thus be sprinkled all over my nice walls like a sort of smallpox. The Bible must be referring to wallpapers, I think, when it says, "Use not vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do."
