The *new* Barrow Downs photo page! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Tigerlily Gamgee · 05-10-2005, 10:30 PM

Okay, so I have put together the page and added the photos of those who have sent them to me. You can find the page here:

http://www.psy-strike.com/barrowdowns.html

I will put a link to it in my sig.

If you have not submitted a picture yet and you would like to, please send it to psyknife@psy-strike.com

If you had a picture on the old picture page and you would like that same picture to be posted on the new page, then please reply here and let me know. I'm not going to repost any pictures without the consent of the subject. I know that there are many, probably, on the old page who don't even post here anymore. So, if you are on there and you just want to use that picture, then let me know and I'll take care of it. Otherwise, send a new picture to me at the email provided above. Thanks!

Kuruharan · 05-11-2005, 07:42 AM

Nice.

I must say, Amanaduial knows how to pick surroundings!

Feanor of the Peredhil · 05-11-2005, 07:44 AM

Beautiful work Tig.

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-11-2005, 07:54 AM

Excellently done, Tigerlily.

I'd be grateful if you would copy my picture over from Alk's site as I no longer have the scan that I made.

Thanks.

alaklondewen · 05-11-2005, 09:49 AM

I agree. You've done a great job, Tigerlily!

I would appreciate it if you would copy over my same picture from the other site as well.

Tigerlily Gamgee · 05-11-2005, 11:10 AM

Okay, cool... I've saved both of your pictures (The Saucepan Man and alaklondewen), so I'll have them up there soon

Thank you for the compliments

Kuruharan · 05-14-2005, 08:37 PM

Hookbill gets a star for clever background.

Alquadae also gets one for the ship and all.

Yeah, I like settings...sue me.

Hookbill the Goomba · 05-15-2005, 01:15 AM

Of the nineteen pictures we took on that location, that was the best one. At first I didn't want Gandalf in the background, but he insisted on cameo-ing. However, most of the time it was Gandalf the grey uncloaked! Which was less than pleasant.

I don't get many Photos take of me these days. Mainly because I tend to doctor them when I do.

And being a dead rotting barrow dweller doesn’t help.

But one of them turned out really well. You should always listen to Gandalf. Otherwise, he might turn you into a toad or something else unnatural.

Estelyn Telcontar · 05-15-2005, 10:12 AM

Quit talking about other people's pics, Kuru, and send in one of yourself!!

Yes, I will practice what I preach and do so myself, but it may take a couple of weeks. I thought I'd wait till I get my LotR costume dress finished and have a picture taken with that. That would be a nice change from the other photo on Alk's page.

Tigerlily Gamgee · 05-15-2005, 10:17 AM

Yes, yes, more piccies please! I'd love to see the dress, Estelyn, so if you want to wait until then, that's fine

Anguirel - my my, aren't you saucy?

Silly Esty. My picture is already there! It's just that my face is so unspeakably forgettable that you forget about it the instant you see it...

Hookbill the Goomba · 05-15-2005, 12:20 PM

I just found a more recent picture and have sent it to Tigerlily. It’s slightly better quality, plus I’m holding the BEST book in existence!

Hookbill the Goomba · 05-23-2005, 01:01 PM

By the way;

Happy brithday Tigerlily!

Hope its a good one.

Memory of Trees · 05-23-2005, 01:24 PM

Yes, happy birthday!!!

Tigerlily Gamgee · 05-23-2005, 02:17 PM

Why thank you! Thank you very much!

Gil-Galad · 05-23-2005, 02:18 PM

oh...err happy b-day Tigerlily!

Estelyn Telcontar · 05-23-2005, 02:21 PM

A very happy birthday to you, Tigerlily, and congratulations on a job very well done!

Mad Baggins · 06-07-2005, 10:26 AM

I just went to the photo page for the first time...looks awesome, Tig! It's great to see all the Downers' faces...well, almost all. *cough cough GIL-GALAD*

Gil-Galad · 06-07-2005, 04:17 PM

for the last time i was not shut down by a bus stop! wait that was another conversation....oh yea, i don't want to reveal my secret idenity...besides the Ka's pic isn't showing her face either...

Elennar Starfire · 06-07-2005, 04:27 PM

But, Gilly, if you don't let us see your face, I shall have to paint you with a Strongbad head.

For Ka, I shall use...umm...Sarah. Yes. Hair colour matches, sort of.

Ha! Have fun, that's not my real hair colour by the way. You can blame my friend's camera and computer for that one! If you're feeling resourceful, or just creative, how about striped? I like striped things.

Have you ever taken to thought that maybe some of us don't have faces? It's a pretty reasonable theory for half of the photo page.

Just giving a possible answer.

P.S.: Ha! Look what I found! Somewhat of an irony of our predicament. (Thanks Encaitare)

bah....Nimmy, if you really want it i could send it too you over Msn...but i'm not sure if i should put it up just yet...

I just sent in a photo. I hope you can use attachments...

Mattius · 07-23-2005, 01:32 PM

Hello everybody its been a while since my picture was added on the old site and I've changed slightly so keep your eyes peeled for my new picture appearing in the next few days.

Hookbill the Goomba · 07-23-2005, 02:17 PM

Child, Esty, and Thenamir have come closest to rivalling Gandalf, but Legolas looks a little flat.

The biggest surprise was TORE's pic. I never realized that we have an own Smurf here at Downs! Seriously though, his new pic is really nifty!

Oh great, I didn't even consider the copyright uh, rights.

Oh well, inspired by Fea I couldn't resist messing around a little bit, no one said you had to look exactly like yourself in your pic.

Durelin · 07-25-2005, 12:45 PM

I have on of those cardboard Legolas's in my closet, sadly... My uncle thought I'd like it...

Maybe I should pull that out and practice some moves with my sword.

Oh, and just as a note, the only reason my pic is funny colored was because it was so blurry that I had to do something to make it look better...it's taken with my camera phone, which can only do so much.

I think Oddwen looks very mischievous in her pic...

And Esty's dress really is absolutely gorgeous...

the guy who be short · 07-25-2005, 01:24 PM

Hurrah! I've found a pic of me where I deem I am not unattractive enough to actually send it in! I've emailed it, so all you TGWBS fans (*looks out at the small crowd*) stay tuned!

Bêthberry · 07-25-2005, 01:55 PM

I think it was highly questionable and even improper to incorporate Legolas that way with the pictures of those Downers. As if we haven't done enough here at the Downs to hold the barricades against the Legoluvvers.

Why, it's enough to inspire me to start a pro-BD fan club and petition! The Truth about Lego is Out There" "Free BarrowDowners from Legolas Identity Theft!" "Stop Abuse and Impersonation Now!"

I foresee a glorious future. We shall be the Spittles--Stopping Personality Theft of Legolas Soon. The fangirls will have nothing on us! Of course, we'll need a photoshop pro to help undo all the copies of that picture! I'll talk lestat into helping us! I was okay with eyeliner, but this is a job bigger than I can tackle myself.

Oh, and, yes, while I'm posting here, I should say it's great to see those images of Child, Esty and Thenamir.

And I love Esty's costume. She is obviously a very accomplished seamstress. I'm just miffed that she didn't sew such a lovely outfit to meet me in last summer.

piosenniel · 07-25-2005, 02:33 PM

Ahem . . . the Legolas in the pic was a stand in for me

I sent him on a visit to her house a while ago . . . looks like he's made himself quite comfortable.

All that traveling and partying and his hair still looks great! What an Elf!

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 07-26-2005, 06:13 AM

The gallery is really looking fantastic now. I'm loving Estelyn's costume too. But what's with the general lack of eyeliner? Someone's going to have to sort that out...

Is there a limit to how many pictures can fit on the page?

Feanor of the Peredhil · 07-26-2005, 06:49 AM

If you're trying to weasel out of showing your face to screaming fangirls, 'Mer, then be assured there is plenty of room for you.

Mattius · 07-27-2005, 02:09 PM

Don't think my email ever made it so I attached the picture to this post

Mattius · 07-27-2005, 02:10 PM

Also let me explain why I am holding my mobile in the picture, I am using the camara and taking a picture of myself in the mirror. Its not because I'm strange like that.

Honest.
