Davey, your picture has to be an Absolute Sound subscriber who followed the advice from a JV blog 
I was just wondering how many people here so far are into the "full disclosure" about themselves!
...See, I do remember the wise words previously spoken by Amir!

Back to the future to the day of the $5000 power cord...
That is one scary trip McFly!

You know, I don't recall exactly. It was a corporate shoot paid by HP for an ad they were running and wanted a quote and picture from me while I was at Microsoft. If I were to guess, I would say 2005.
Being a photographer, I tend to be picky about people taking my pictures and such. But these two ladies showed up and did an incredible job. That was the first time I learned what a good skill it is to know how to talk to your subject to put them at ease and have them put on the face you want. I had only an hour and was in between meetings so was not in the best mood, having to change cloths, get make up, etc. At the end, I was so impressed with the work they did. Not that the picture is all that great per-se but their skill to get that much out of me!
BTW, I have never used my picture as an Avatar. I put it there to test as we were creating the forum and lack of creativity in picking something else meant that it stuck there!

Cool!
...By the way, you look just great! Handsome and real cute! 
The kid in my avatar is me. As I was only about 2 or 3 when that picture was taken, I guess I should post a more up to date picture!
Rich, I luv that picture of your avatar; I just wish that you can share it with us as a larger one.
Can you do that please?
* And keep it, it's a Classic!
-> A more recent picture of you (here in this thread) would finally put the record spinning on that turntable!
Here ya go! Looks like I was listening to one of my dad's Living Stereo records...
Hmm, the pic should be bigger than that, but the forum software limits .jpeg files to only 20kb; jpg files can be much bigger. Can someone fix this please!

I will try to dig one out.
The photo of me must be 40 years old. Is it the avatar with the most years between the photo being taken and now?

Wow, that is awesome! ...You are bringing tears to my eyes here Rich!
Do you have any idea how many members here can relate to that first picture of you by the turntable?
This is a true treasure, precious for a lifetime and more...
Thank you very much for sharing!
* I'll have to visit you this year in Kelowna. ...Didn't go visit my best friend Michel in Naramata.

My pleasure! And sure, by all means look me up next time you're in the area. Naramata isn't far away, especially if you go via Chute Lake Road (i.e., the direct, but rough, way).
Rich, I still have your phone number in my address book! {Remember, from Blu-ray Forum?}
Plus I used to live right by Chute Lake;
(Chute Lake Creek => Total population: 1 ---> I was that one back then! Totally true!)
And I also lived in Oyama.
And Paradise Ranch, where they filmed "My American Cousin".
And Osoyoos, Okanagan Falls, Naramata, Penticton, Summerland, Peachland, Westbank, Winfield, Vernon...

Geez,
You look rather precariously situated atop the prototype
