Images, Pics of Me

could I be 2? in this pic?

  This is me when I was 4.

  This is my high school graduation photo.  It was taken when I was 15. 

  This is a photo of me in 1994, when I was in Washington, D.C., for a Planetary Society thingy.  It was one of the few real "vacations" I've ever taken.  It was for the Shoemaker-Levy 9 crash into Jupiter and the 25th Anniversary of the Apollo Moon Landing.  This was the trip I was 5 feet away from Carl Sagan and was so totally cowed by awe that I couldn't introduce myself...  no one else could do that to me.

  This was actually a reasonably decent photo from my last driver's license.  I hate having photos taken, so I'll keep it.

You can find more from my youth at my Live Journal Scrapbook Visual Musings.

And just to be a little different, check out the analysis of my face from faceanalyzer.com.  I ran through three different images of my face.  For each one, they got one or two elements right, and then it seemed to be way off on everything else, and for each picture, which element it got correct was different.  For instance, I'm 3/4 Eastern European, 1/4 Dutch-Irish; I'm definitely not Middle Eastern.  I'm in Academia, and I have little interest in having gobs of material wealth, although I have plenty of ambition.  Some of my students think I lack clarity in my teaching because I'm too smart, but I got average intelligence across the board.  Before this, I didn't realize intelligent people all looked a certain way.  I am female.  All in all, I don't think it did much better than chance.
