Does anyone show their actual photo of themselves

That's me in the avatar. The specs are not sun glasses, the lenses are what's known as: photochromic lenses. They are designed to protect the eyes from UV light and to eliminate the need for a separate pair of prescription sunglasses. So here's me with & without my specs.

Your left pic reminds me of the Canadian actor Donald Sutherland without a beard.

Ok, probably a dumb question, but does anyone show a real photo of themselves here on this forum? When I saw some photos of people, I thought that is what they actually look like.
I don’t but some people show pics of themselves at every available opportunity.
 
Per my earlier post:

I just replaced my avatar again with another I re-shot a few minutes ago with my A6700. When I shot the New Year photo, behind my tripod position was a bright wall making me squint and at the time I posted it on a Happy New Years 2024 thread. I noted would shoot that again on an overcast day which today is with rain coming peaking during today's Packers <> 49ers game late afternoon. This below downsized image shows me wearing my new skiing down warm mid layers I'd bought during the holidays. Also have enjoyed wearing the two garments in my home since I don't have any heating except a hair drier, that this month is usually about 62F.

And here is a 100% pixels crop of just my head from the above image showing the considerable detail on my APS-c Sony A6700 with a Sigma 56mm F1.4 @F8.0 prime lens. And yes that is some grey in my fine chestnut brown hair I've never dyed that is thinning at the top front.

Very nice photo David777. My husband's watching the game between the Packer's and the SS 49ers, since we reside in Wisconsin, and he's a Packer fan. Go Pack Goā—
