What does yours mean to you? Is it a photo of you, if so, what are you doing and why? There are some pretty weird ones out there and I want to get to the bottom of them!

My avatar is the Greek letter Phi, because it is used in maths, science and art. I am interested in maths the sciences and the arts, and that is one of the reasons I chose it. Another reason is that Phi is the golden ratio, as was stated in an image I made (and a previous avatar that is now missing):

Another important thing I have included in my avatar is the rainbow background. I love rainbows and to me they are the penultimate beauty (The ultimate being the aurorae). Other versions of my avatar are:

I took this picture at a midnight bonfire on the beach on my band trip last year (Gr. 12). It turned out so dark (as it was the middle of the night) you could barely see the tree, so I messed around with the light levels and whatnot on Photoshop until it looked cool...

Oh and I should probably also mention that I chose this one because pretty much trees are the coolest things ever and I lahfs them.

The name is my initials, nothign kewl there, but the picture is something I found while discussing weather. I was on the PAX East forums, and they were saying it might be cold in boston, so I tried to describe how cold it is in Canada by using that picture in comparison to a sunny field.

<------------- Edited picture of me.
It has a rainbow background and there is a penguin whispering to me. What's not to like? (Other than that my editing could have been so much better)

<-- Me, holding a book (the book of useless information, which I've memorized) with a thermal camera effect. I like books. I'm also purposefully covering my mouth and looking up/away from the camera because straight on and propless I look like I want to kill people and/or high. In pictures only, promise. That's the problem.
