Well, I haven’t participated in one of these in years. This pic’s a little old, but it’s one of my wife’s favorites, and it’s a fair depiction of what I mostly do these days.

I love those types of pictures. Utter trust and relaxation of the baby, and utter contentment of the adult.

When my daughter was a baby, I loved having her sleep on me. I often thought that there should be Baby Sleep Centers where stressed out CEOs or other anxious types could go and lie down and have a sleeping baby placed on them for a period of time. Drops the blood pressure right down.

Well, I haven’t done this in a while, so I’ll go. I’m generally horribly unphotogenic, but [this self portrait](http://picasaweb.google.com/raenjapan/Rachel/photo#5111953039021678450) turned out good.

That’s a wonderful photo. My camera wants to have a long talk with you.

I was in the last photo thread, and I don’t have any fun new pictures! I did take this with the camera on my computer (warning: bad florescent lighting) a few weeks ago, though – so it’s the newest one I have. [Ellen at work](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v180/Soileau/Ellenatwork.jpg).

ETA: Who’s the Doper earring donor, Bib?

[A bit drunk](http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f28/Criticalpedestrian/001_Ray_02b.jpg) about 2 years ago. Good times.

Also, holy crap there’s a lot of Doper Hotties.

I am particularly smitten by the lovely **Anastaseon** , who I would be terrified to talk to in real life.

And now, back to being ignored. Heheh

[QUOTE=Lobsang]  
OK, I didn’t want to do this, but several factors have forced my hand.

I wanted somoene to supply me with a link to the most recent doper photo thread. Nobody did.

I didn’t want to search because I knew that the innate creativity of dopers meant that the most recent (or indeed any) of such threads might not necesarily contain the words ‘doper’, ‘photo’ and ‘thread’ in its title (therefore searching for it wouldn’t be very productive)

Anyway, here is your friendly neighbourhood **Lobsang**. Identity revealed at last! (Erm, for the second time, actually)

[Me](http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v98/lobley/?action=view&current=IMG_2615copy.jpg)

I am still highly personally critical of that image, but at least I consider it just about normal enough to reveal it on a global stage.

All photo posters:

I have soooo many crushes on the boards now that I’ve seen so many of your gorgeous and sexy shots, but I have to address the OP here:

You look great! I can’t imagine why you would consider yourself unattractive.

Sexy fo’ sho’! (See, I’m AA so I fall into that kind of talk when I want to make a point - please allow).

Um… I DO date younger men…
