The *new* Barrow Downs photo page! - Page 23 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Orominuialwen · 03-04-2007, 10:58 PM

I too am extremely pale with lots of freckles and reddish-brown hair. My brother (HKF) is also quite pale, but less freckly and with brown hair that's so dark it's nearly black. We get it from our mom, who's a very pale and freckled redhead.

Gil-Galad · 03-04-2007, 11:06 PM

i've been meaning to give Holby a new picture so you downers can finnally see the real superman... sometime soon perhaps... if i get a picture i like...

Lalaith · 03-08-2007, 02:14 PM

Oh, yay, an updated photo page! You're all so cute!

Guinevere's eyes are an amazing colour.

The Might · 03-08-2007, 03:04 PM

Interesting...Guinevere is wearing the one ring, and is still visible...there is only one explanation..she must be Tom Bombadil!

The Only Real Estel · 03-08-2007, 06:32 PM

I've said it before, but I really love this photo page because I enjoy looking over them & being able to but a screename with a face. And as the pics update or new ones are added my memory hopefully updates with it, lol.

I should prolly send in another of me though...to give myself a more accurate representation.

Thinlómien · 03-09-2007, 01:45 AM

Great!

Some of you look just the way I imagined you'd look, some don't, but everyone has great pics. Why are you all so photogenic?

The Might · 03-09-2007, 09:48 AM

Me? Photogenic?
Except that one I probably only have 3 or 4 more good pics.
The rest of them have me talking, looking strange, having my eyes closed, coughing, yawning, etc.

Mithalwen · 03-11-2007, 08:24 AM

Is it my imagination or has Ang been cloned?

Volo · 03-11-2007, 09:17 AM

He has, obviously Tigerlily changed Ang's preveous picture and added the same picture as a new one. Or then the adress of Ang's old and new pictures is the same and the new one went on top of the old one. But whatever the case, please bring Ang's old picture back as well!

Brinniel · 03-11-2007, 06:47 PM

Hmm...I believe wilwarin has two pictures up as well...

Yay for new photos! I alway enjoy to see the faces of BDers.

I need to find a decent picture to replace my old one. Unfortunately, all my best pictures happen to be my senior photos....which are now a year and a half old.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 03-12-2007, 03:39 AM

Wilwa looks like Jennifer Connolly.

Labyrinth, what a film.

All my best photos are a great deal older than than that, dear

In truth my best photos are when I am the photographer .....

Mattius · 03-12-2007, 10:51 AM

Hmmm, just looked at my picture and its quite old and sepia. Perhaps an updated one is called for.

I think it will get confusing if old photos are never deleted when new ones are submitted.

Mänwe · 03-12-2007, 08:49 PM

Oo yes, new pictures. Anguirel is up twice.

And Lommy, you say everyone else is photgenic, can you honestly say to us yours is an awful pic?

And Mac, you remind me of Peter Forsberg..

And CaptainofDespair looks like a friend of mine who has recently been ordained..

Why, thank you and no I can't say that - that's the only decent picture of me in ages. The only problem is that it's five or four years old - so I'm 12 or 13 in it.

(It wasn't that old when I joined and submitted it...

)

Actually my sister took an almost decent photo of me on my birthday (a few weeks ago) so it might end up here some time...

Now that is too old!

Tigerlily Gamgee · 03-13-2007, 02:03 PM

I've fixed the duplicates...

Just a note for the future... if you are sending me an update photo, please tell me that's what it is. Otherwise I'll think it's your first submission (because my memory doesn't always serve me nor do I always have time to look up who has submitted and who hasn't)... this should help eliminate the issue of duplications.

Also, if you could keep update photos at a minimum that would be most helpful, as my time is quite short lately.

Thanks

Bêthberry · 03-17-2007, 08:42 AM

Well, surprise of all surprises, Bethberry finally sent in a picture to Tigerlily, last night. With family pictures from seven ages of Middle-earth, it's taken a long time to choose!

I wish I had pictures of me with Tom and Goldberry in their early years, but they were lost in the bonfire.

Sometimes the best things are left unsaid.

I'm just waiting in anxious anticipation so that I can have a picture to go with my dictionary's entry of 'Bah!'

See, thing is, about a week after that shot was taken, I cut my hair short. It grew to about chin length over the summer and then I cut it boyishly short. I occasionally wore it in a faux-hawk. I changed the style but kept it short, so it was boyishly short and messy up until about a week ago when I buzzed it off in a dorm bathroom with a friend. I do still have the hat... And the ink on my hand. I guess it's not that out of date.

Well, thank you!

I doubt, though, that my appearance has ever helped me in any way, so far.

I see that you haven't yet played werewolf with me. Otherwise, you wouldn't have trusted me in the first place.

Btw, I'd like to say that Eomer looks a lot like the best (RL-) friend of mine and elronds_daughter looks much like one of my cousins.

Thinlómien · 04-02-2007, 09:24 AM

Now, here's a bit newer pic of me...

alatar · 04-02-2007, 09:55 AM

Thinlómien, so you don't have orangish hair, nor suffer from some penguin-induced pixelation disorder?

That's a relief.

Haha, no.

The orangish in my hair in the old pic is actually some error with light that has occured while developing the film. I didn't mind it anyway, since redheads are cool...

Lalaith · 04-04-2007, 11:17 AM

Lommy, you look like a friendlier version of your avatar.

Now you got me wondering if you look like a friendlier version of your avatar.... *hint*

(Though Bianca's quite friendly so you should be super-friendly -looking I guess...)

Eomer; expect to see that picture respectfully* edited and changed for future Newspaper stories. I can see it now: "Eomer and Cailín burn down old man"

*Feel free to replace 'respectfully' with 'mercilessly' or 'grotuetously'

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 04-14-2007, 03:33 PM

I look forward to that.

Thinlómien · 04-14-2007, 06:10 PM

Eomer, that's a lovely pic. You both look so nice and sympathic.

the guy who be short · 04-15-2007, 06:38 AM

Look! Look! Eomer makes a Dutch person look short! Surely that should be a headline?

Eomer's head is the same shape as mine.

Yes, yes, they are cute. I was getting there...
