Do you use a picture of yourself as your avatar?

Contributor: DexterStratton DexterStratton
It seems to me that several members of this community are using actual pictures of themselves as their avatar. I'm just curious as to how many are, why they are choosing to do so, while others are choosing not to do so.

My avatar is usually not of me, but I got a bit jealous of people who were showing their pretty faces

Mine is an icon, but it's also a picture I took myself. However, I was not the one who botched the Western Union sign.... credit for that goes to some unknown party person.

Mine's of me without my glasses from a recent photo-shoot I did for my Master. I like the 'threshhold' effect in my Paint program; very Siouxsie Sioux.

Mine is my pet rooster Terry. I am not against using my picture for an avatar just have no desire to do so. If a person wants to see my face they can watch one of my videos.

Plus if I did use my real face I would have to give "that look" and Vaccinium would end up leaving his wife.

Mine is my friends pup. Haven't found a good pic I'd like to show you guys, maybe some day...

Mine is me but only part of me, so you still can't really tell what I look like.

My picture is me, but I have a camera blocking my face for my own protection.

My pic is me. It was taken by a photographer, and is one of my favourite pictures of myself ever.

I just use one of the ones Eden provides. I don`t really care to put up a picture of myself unless it would be for like a dating site. Otherwise, no one needs to know what I look like.

I found mine online during an image search. I thought it was cute, and kind of shows all the different moods on any given day. (Plus I LOVE marshmallows!!) I wouldn't want to use a sexy picture of myself, as I save that for my man.

I sometimes use a picture of me, but it's not obvious.

I have grown kids and a teen grandson. Chances are slim that they would ever find me here, but I only use an icon anyway.

So far I've only used a stock photo. I'll never use a real one of me but one of these days, I find or make one that I like. Just haven't decided what that might be...

Mine is a pin-up girl. I think they're sexy and embrace the female body and confidence!

Mine is from a photographer I like. I wouldn't be opposed to a picture of myself (sans face), but I don't have a good quality self-portrait.
