I didn't take the photo of course, but this is Sam the Koala...the koala saved by firefighters during the 2009 Australian Bushfires. Sam has passed away, but here is her most famous video and the link to her shelter:

I just really like Sam's story...so I'm just borrowing her image.

A picture of me that my closest friend took at his father's funerals...
He was playing with the Nikon D60 his dad gave him before he died from cancer.
It is an image that I cherish...

When I first joined RFF I had a shot of my Fed 2, my first rangefinder which seemed logical for a photo forum. When I bought my first Leica it felt the obvious step to make that my avatar . It's just stuck really , I probably use my M2 slightly more now but the IIIg still gets a lot of use as its a very nice camera to shoot with and well .. I still like the shot.

Mine is a pic of my departed Contax N Digital. Although the camera was the final nail in the Contax coffin I really loved the low ISO performance coupled with great Zeiss glass.
Being as I shoot primarily rangefinders I should probably change it but it just makes me a smile a bit when I see it.

It's a reflection me out shooting with my M8. I was on some steps looking in through a glass window that had a reflective coating on it. - Jim

Ours had the same fashion sense at that age; we dubbed it sartorial bricolage.

 Yes.. First, the angle of the baguette. Then, why does he wear a helmet? Is she a basketball player? Is this a scene from "Close Encounter of the Third Kind"? ....These need to be explained.. |

Ok, I found one from my M9 and 35 Pre-A lux. This photographer took one of the most famous photos of all time and he did not even know how to use the camera. Orville Wright had set the camera up and told him to squeeze the shutter bulb when he saw the plane take off. So who gets credit for the photograph? Anyway I took some liberty and added the model...
