St. Andrei Rublev Photo Album of TAW Members

[Michael the Iconographer]

Ok guys, here we go, an online photo album of all of our friends here on TAW. I will start with one of me and Matrona.

[prodromos]

This is the only picture of me on the web at the moment.

http://www.orthodoxchristianity.net/index_files/prodromos.gif

The hair is longer now (both head and chin)

[Marjorie]

Here are some pictures attached...

Me with my Puuuuunky dog, me with my friend Brian, me with my friend Chiara, and me sophomore year with my friend Christine...

In IC XC,
Marjorie

[Matrona]

:angel:

[Grand_Duchess-Elizaveta]

This is the one I posted in the Taverna. If I can find anything else that doesn't make me look like Job of the Hut, I'll post it.;)

[Suzannah]

Here's my pic fresh from the Wanted Bulletin:

(I'm the one on the left. :D )

[Momzilla]

Okay, here's one of me, one of Owen, and one of Chuck and Andy:

[Oblio]

First pic in front of best Pizza in Middle Ga.
Second is Anna at two days old, I don't have a recent one here at work.

[ShiFuBill]

Well, you've all seen my baby picture I use for an avatar, here's me all grown up. This was on my pilgrimage in Spain during the summer.

[Michael the Iconographer]

A picture of me at my 30th birthday party in August 2003 and a picture which I took of Matrona last time I saw her. (I am in the far right corner of the birthday party picture.)

[Dust and Ashes]

Here's a quick one of me. Well, ok, not very quick considering I used the auto-timer to take it, then downloaded GTK2 and the GIMP to edit it down to a manageable size but anyway, here it is. Pretty much the same as my avatar except the beard is fuller. I'm going for an Orthodox look. lol

And it's kind of strange too because I was seriously thinking about starting a picture thread for us just this morning but I got sidetracked. WTG, Michael!

[Michael the Iconographer]

Can we get this thread stickied so that everyone can see our pics without us constantly having to bump the thread to keep it current?

[Rick of Wessex]

Two pitures of me. The first one is from a recent travel to Southern Brazil, the second from a gig.

[Oblio]

Can we get this thread stickied so that everyone can see our pics without us constantly having to bump the thread to keep it current?

We might be able to, but we need to clean up the stickies (I thought of this just the other day) and put them in the Ref. Library, we've nearly a half page stuck here already.

[33ad]

This was taken about this time last year. We've since both lost weight due to being Orthodox. (Fasting, Lent, etc) And Seraphima at the fountain at Church early this year.

Luv Ya All

BTW Michael & Matrona, The soulmate that I finally got was 9 years my junior.
Age means nothing. It's the mind and spirit that count!

[ExOrienteLux]

My pictures:

1.) Me in one of my friends' rooms. And, yes, that is a plush manta ray on my head. Don't ask.

2.) Me at my work, being the Brig Ninja (TM). I've lost some weight since then and I'm growing in a full beard.

3.) Me being a happy Brig slave. I hate hats, by the way.

[Moros]

Don't have a current one of me, but here's a kid picture

[Grand_Duchess-Elizaveta]

Don't have a current one of me, but here's a kid picture
AAAAAAAWW! What a cute little boy you were! You look so sweet and innocent. What happened?!?! ;) ^_^

[RobNJ]

GREAT PICS!!!!:thumbsup:

[Photini]

Alright y'all: Here I is.

[Moros]

I'm going for an Orthodox look. lol

That is a mondo cross you got there fella, make it yourself?

[Dust and Ashes]

That is a mondo cross you got there fella, make it yourself?
Actually, Orthodoxyusa made it for me. He made one for my wife also. I want to get a metal cross that I can wear all the time without worrying about breaking it.

[Nickolai]

Here's a pic from the pilgrimage to St. Tikhon's. I have longer hair now and am growing a beard.

Here's another one of me...with my new hair color.

fixED!

THis is kind of an old one; we had our real pictured done a few weeks ago, so ill post those up later.

[Grand_Duchess-Elizaveta]

More pics. The first is my brother Scott and my newest nephew, Anthony. The others are of Anthony, and nieces Katie (Katherine) and Carolyn (Anthony's big sisters).:) Some of them may display too big, but I can't decrease their size for some reason.

[Mary of Bethany]

Beautiful family, GDE!

This thread needs some filling out. Maybe it's time to start the TAW St. Nicholas memorial floating digital camera slush fund.

Yup! And the camera is the LEAST of it for us technologically challenged folks who experience frequent episodes of Cranial-colon inversion when trying to perform any new function. I'll probably figure out how to upload photos just in time for my 40th birthday pics, in 2009.

[Moros]

I'm not photogenic, so this was the best I could do. No pirate jokes. :D

I can't.

Q: What do pirate kids say to their parents on a long road trip?
A: "AAAAAAAARRRRRR we there yet?"

And now, since turn-about's fair play, feel free to make a cheesy joke about my pics.

*runs and hides*

[Vasya Davidovich]

Well, given that I have no access to my computer at the moment, the best I can do is to reference an older pic currently on-line. And yes, there is such a thing as the National Beard Registry. And yes, I am on it. Ask no further questions, please. :blush:

A halo? Not likely. I'm bad, Duchess. You don't want to get mixed up with a guy like me. I'm a loner. A rebel.

Well, halo or not, I love it that you're reading Fr John Meyendorff on St. Gregory Palamas with Letterman in the background. :thumbsup:

Ok, I'm puttin the pic of my Big Ol Mug in here. :)

[Julio]

Woohoo! 100 posts! Here are some pictures of me! :D

In the first one, I'm in the middle of the group wearing a baseball cap. This was with part of the first Real Break 2003 team in front of the center where we were working.

In the second one, I'm to the extreme left. This is with the second Real Break 2003 team in the in the rented chapel where our parish has services. (Our priests, the Protopresbyter Peter and the Archimandrite Andrew, are the first and second to appear right to left.)

The third one is a piece of ancient history -- there I am, in the middle of the the first church I pastored, greeting people after Sunday morning service. I'm even wearing Protestant vestments! ;)

How to put thumbnails as links to pictures?

[gzt]

I'm not sure exactly what you want to do, but to post my pictures I went to the "go advanced" thing and in the "additional options" thing below the text box there's a button saying "Manage Attachments" that will let you attach files to your post.

Maybe the Great Gazoo is what Master Giziti needs to save the last year of his hit series...

[stillerfan]

due to my dial-up connection, i am having a very difficult time posting pics on here....what i may do is sned them to my hotmail acct, and post them next week at work... :)

How to put thumbnails as links to pictures?It happens automagically when you attach large images :)

Try photobucket (http://photobucket.com/), they are a great image hosting site and they are free. When you get a picture uploaded, you can go to your album and it has thumbnails of the pictures and below each is 3 different links you can place on any site or forum that will either link to the picture or load it directly to the site.

The National Beard Registry rocks!! I finally had a chance to get some pics of myself, my best friend the Reader Daniel, his brother Steven and Fr. John. When Steven forwards them to me, I'll post them here, and submit them to the NBR.
Thanks for the heads up on the cool site!
A-Kat, do you know what number Moses the Black is on the registry?

My main complaint with the NBR is that not only is Christ accompanied with a few pagan Gods (and a few modern demi-Gods as well), but they have an absolutely awful 'icon' of Him. I would prefer the Evangelical Kinkadesque to this

The dogs want their pictures posted in here, again.

Oliver is the red dog. He is an 8 year old English Toy Spaniel who thinks he is royalty. Brittany is the black and white dog. She will be 6 in February and she has more energy than a split atom!

Do you mean Zeus and Poseidan? Their status as Pagan deities aside, the stories are regarded as mythology as well, and I imagine our culture has been influenced by them.

By the way, I agree with your assessment of the icon, although it does remind me of some of the mass-produced images produced by some of the Catholic presses, which makes me happy, as I used to be Catholic. :) (Now watch, someone's going to tell me the image isn't Catholic at all...)

Sorry, it's night time and I'm rambling. Shall I discuss the store-bought bowl of rice pudding I bought at the grocery store that I'm about to consume?

Hehehe...um....(mumbling): I didn't do a fast...

Actually Lent will be (essentially) my first attempt at a newbie fast. I think that means slow start. Partial. You know. I look forward to it :)

[Marjorie]

Actually Lent will be (essentially) my first attempt at a newbie fast. I think that means slow start. Partial. You know. I look forward to it :)

Great Lent was really my first attempt at a long fast too. :) Well, actually, no... I was just deciding to become Orthodox around the Nativity of last year, so I fasted for the last week of the Nativity Fast. OH MY GOODNESS WAS THAT HARD. That first week in December was harder than any other period of fasting I have done since... my body was like "WHAT? DENY ME SOMETHING? RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!!! EAT PIZZA!!!!" But I have to say that Great Lent was the most spiritually fruitful period of my life to date. And the fasting really does get easier... and that first hard week is important, because it shows you what slaves to our bodies we have become. Anyway... yes... um... don't remember the point of this post! Tehehe.

Well, now that I have my digital camera, once I pare down some of my pictures from uber-size, I'll post them here. Of course, this entails having my Lappy back from Tech Services sometime soon.

Oh, and Mike, I've got good news that I'd prefer to say on AIM, but since I don't have my 'puter presently, let's just say The Event Which I Was Praying For has Occurred! If you get my drift....

My friend formerly known as Josh,
Thank you for the compliment on the picture of Matrona and I! The pictures we had taken are much better than the one I posted a month or so ago of us holding the camera in front of us! It is good to hear that the "Event Which You Were Praying For" has occured! I am sure you will give me all of the details once you get your computer back!

[ExOrienteLux]

Here's some new pictures of me, taken with my digital camera:

Me here at school, reading Eusebius, which does happen often.
Me at home, being pensive, which doesn't happen often.

Very Jerry Garcia like! Starts humming Touch of Grey "...it's even worse than it appears but it's alright!..."

I get the Jerry Garcia thing alot, especially if I tie a bandana on!
I also ocasionally get Charlton Heston as Moses as well!

Well, Uncle Jerry was a Moses of sorts, and I find the Gospel hidden in much of his work. Sadly, we could find other parts of the Scripture in both his life and many of those he 'led'.

I love happy synchronicity. Or serendipity. Or, you know. Because yesterday I received Grateful Dawg from Netflix (a DVD mail rental service), about Jerry Garcia and David Grisman getting together to explore music and make discs. It was a great experience to watch this, by the way.

It is a bit dated. She is two now and has more hair than this photo shows.


Must be an Anna thing. Our Anna is 10 mos old and has not much hair, far less than that picture. Sometimes I like to call her Curley (Nyuk Nyuk ...)

Ironic, isn't it? At one end of Red Square stands one of the most beautiful churches ever built for the glory of God, and there, near the other end, is a monument and mausoleum for a disciple of Satan, a thief, liar, and murderer (and, even worse, Stalin is buried in back of it!).

Behold! The Macbethian Mullet (TM) and the Uber-Beard (R) are no more! You'll note that I still have some hair on my face - I don't think it qualifies as a beard in its present state. I think I went a little overboard with the scissors last night. And, my hair's a little shorter than I would like, but I just wanted rid of it before I went to Florida.

Oh well. Nothing that two weeks won't fix.

Here's a picture of my oldest child, Anneliese, taken last Pascha. She just turned four Wednesday. I can' t believe it.

That is a spectacular picture of your daugther! My youngest daughter has a very similar name...Annalisa! She will be 6 next week. I must remember to get a nice pic of my middle daughter who is soon to be 11.

Yes, we are getting older! but wiser I hope.:thumbsup:

My fiance and I had our picture taken at wal-mart last week:)

[Xpycoctomos]

Here is a picture of me and my baby, Danielle... and a beer ;) at a friend's wedding last summer-ish (I'm the one on the left...no, not the beer! lol). The end of this month will be 2 years! I can't even believe it!

... upload wasn't working...

there we go :)

Thanks Elizaveta for the help!

Picture of me from a recent skiing trip at Breckenridge, Colorado. Oh, I'd trade Dixie for snow-capped mountains, skis and much malt beverages. :angel:

Picture of me with my newborn godson, Liam, a couple years back.

Xpycoctomos, let us hope this one doesn't become another beer thread like we did to that other thread? Maybe I should scan in a photo of me in the Hoffbrauhaus in Munich in Feb '97 with a liter of Bier?!

[Alexis OCA]

Here's two of my daughters (left and center) with a friend, enjoying a beer at Oktoberfest a year or two ago. I thought it might be too much if they each had their own.^_^

I would almost pay to see that photo.;)

[Amandine]

It's been awhile since I've talked on CF, but for those who remember the myriad variety of discussions I've had here and are curious to the girl behind the curtain...voila...

[Vasya Davidovich]

I thought I would include my own circa 1987 photo. Seeing as we had such a cool theme going and all...

Unfortunately, I don't have any readily available. The only one I have that's even close is this June 1991 photo. I hope that's close enough. :)

[Michael the Iconographer]

I would almost pay to see that photo.;)

Once I get my scanner back up and running I will get it scanned in.

[Photini]

Guess who this is...:)

[Alexis OCA]

Guess who this is...:)

My guess is a baby Photini.

[Photini]

My guess is a baby Photini.
Bingo! Funny thing is, that I look sad like that in almost all my baby photos. I don't think I started smiling for pics until I started school.

[Michael the Iconographer]

I am not posting any baby pics of me on here! I think I may have shown one or two of me when I was very, very young to Matrona, but those are not for me to show the entire world of TAW!

[Grand_Duchess-Elizaveta]

I was playing with my nephew's cumputer camera today.;)

You look like you are having entirely too much fun especially in the second shot, Trace.

Thanky. And congrats to him too...I have the feeling that being born, and giving birth, is rather difficult business.

Thanks for posting...I love the joy in that photo!

Here's a good one of me today.

You need help.

Nice red undies.:P :D

Well, I gotta match ;) :D

[Lotar]

Here's a hair growth progression. :D

[Grand_Duchess-Elizaveta]

First pic is of me is me playing around, second is of me in my usual Sunday head scarf (it belonged to my grandmother, so it's special to me), and 3rd is what I call "sardonic me".;) [I don't know what order the attachments will be in]

[Vasya Davidovich]

I like that middle pic, Elizaveta.

[Grand_Duchess-Elizaveta]

I like that middle pic, Elizaveta.
Thanks.:) My grandma was a special lady. She was the first Christian I ever knew. This is why that scarf is important to me. I think her prayers are what brought me to Christ.

Measuring the temperature, though it sure doesn't look like it. :D

Good pictures, Lotar! :)

somehow this digital pic got transposed.. St Constantine should be on the left and St. Helena on the right. The little kid is my youngest (the candle maniac). She should be on the left too.

[Xpycoctomos]

beautiful child!

[nicodemus]

1) Here's one of the wife and I at this year's Citrus Bowl (Capital One Bowl for the corporate types) which featured LSU vs. Iowa.

2) Here's one of the wife and I having Christmas dinner at a friends house since we couldn't make it back home to be with our families

3) Me clowning around in the car at the Bonnaroo festival. It was raining, so we went to the car and cracked the windows so we could still hear. That's me trying to dance in the backseat.

4) Headshot. (No, I didn't dye beard or hair, I have brown hair, but a reddish beard)

5) Me not wanting anymore photos taken.

BTW, I still need to go to the monastery up in Ocala. Let me know next time you go.

[Xpycoctomos]

She has been shrunk down into the size of an ant and is in her front yard in the grass! Oh Photini! What will we do! The Horror!

Rescue Pho-tiny from the fire ants, of course. I hear they are vicious in Florida.

Well guys, here I am! Maybe I should warn you to get the small children away from the screen!

That's in Estero. Close to Fort Myers. There's a nice campground there with nature trails and canoeing and stuff. :)

[Photini]

That's hilarious. :) I've never seen so much bamboo before. It was kind of creepy, because the wind was blowing and making the bamboo rub together. Sounded like old creaky doors or shutters blowing in the wind. Spooky.

Let's see if I can do this. Here are pics from our marriage "blessing" after Liturgy on Sunday.

(edit: Yay! It worked!!! The last pic is of our older son Nathan (the one who was in the car accident and then had thyroid cancer), his fiancee Amy, hubby Robert and me.)

[Alexis OCA]

Another beach picture. :)

Awright, awright Photini..just rub it in.....The beach club I joined opens May 27th. Even if its 65 degrees and the the water temp 20 degrees cooler than that I AM STILL GOING FOR A SWIM! And I'll post pics to prove it.....wait...seeing me in a bathing suit may....uh....upset some.^_^

BTW..where is that beach Photini? It is beautiful!

Oh you Kolya! You're quite young at heart my friend... and so is everyone here. Me on the other hand... turning 30 this year and most of the time I wonder if I ever got past 12... or was it 5... My dear husband is 5 years younger than me and I always get carded, not him... I just look young they claim.. two weeks ago I thought I had to use the pull cord to get one of my profs jaw to close when he heard my age. I don't stand out from my fellow college age kids... well except in my great wisdom (YEA RIGHT!!! ;) )...

I don't stand out from my fellow college age kids... well except in my great wisdom(You're sooo fortunate - you'll have every woman green with envy by the time you're 40:D )(YEA RIGHT!!! ;)...(Why so modest??? Beauty & brains are a rare combination!!!)

BTW..where is that beach Photini? It is beautiful!

The name of the beach is Holmes Beach on Anna Maria Island. It's near Bradenton (FL) on the Gulf of Mexico. By far, one of my favorite beaches.

My wife and I can understand that. We often have people congratulate us on having three children at so young an age. We just look at each other, smile, and respond "We're not that young you know".
My wife used to smoke when she was younger, and was tickled when she went to buy cigarettes on her 28th birthday, only to have the shop owner demand proof of her age because he assumed she was not yet fifteen :eek:. She took it as a lovely compliment for her birthday :)

A couple of years ago, I was carded for buying a lighter. LoL!

[nicodemus]

A couple of years ago, I was carded for buying a lighter. LoL!
That happened to my wife a few months ago. I guess they thought she was a bad person for being pregnant and buying a lighter. Little did they know she bought it to light the lamp in our icon corner!

[jsgnpdx]

I know I am new, just wanted to post my pic so ya'll can see me. By the way, I came to Orthodoxy (sort of) through a non-canonical jurisdiction HOOM/CSB who are now OCA and really Orthodox. I have recently turned back to Christ and the Orthodox Church...I will be chrismated this month and I am SO EXCITED.

Please pray for me. I will be bold and upfront about what I am dealing with, because I need help and support from my brothers and sisters in the body of Christ.

I am a repentant homosexual. I choose never again to defile my body, mind, soul and spirit, regardless of my "natural" inclinations...this is OH so hard for me to write, but I feel safe on TAW. I have walked the "straight" and narrow (no pun intended) for some six months, longer than in my entire lifetime and I'm 42...ONLY by the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the intercession of His holy mother.

In the past I have had multiple sexual and physical abuse, at the hands of family while I was a child and even at the hand of clergy...I have so much healing "under my belt", yet SO MUCH MORE to go.

Please pray for me that His Grace will be sufficient...and thank you for letting me be so candid and trusting all of you.

IC XC NIKA,
:bow:the sinful Cyprian

[Xpycoctomos]

God bless you and Welcome to TAW!

You will be in my prayers.

John

PS: what's your name (at least your cybername)? (Cyprian?)

[Orthosdoxa]

Father Seraphim Rose, who is dearly loved and venerated by many here, was also a repentant homosexual. The Church does not tolerate sin - but how She loves the sinner who comes running to Her embrace, away from that sin!

You are safe here.

Praise God for bringing you here and gracing us with your presence Cyprian. It is a real blessing to have you with us :) :wave:

Christos Anesti! Christ is Risen!

God loves a repentant sinner. You are safe here, and I will add you to my prayer list.

May God continue to lead, guide and heal you.

Although I would like to think this true, it is just a rumer...I spent time in his monastery amongst those that knew him...and they wouldn't ever speak of it...I like to think that it is true because I have asked Fr. Rose to pray for me many times!

WOW, seriously? I have thought about doing a pilgramage to the Holy Land and Mt. Athos....perhaps I should do that as well...that would be SO cool. I did not know that ANY holy relics of Sts Cyprian and Justina survived!

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 ;)
