Dan Benjamin on Avatars -

Even if people don’t automatically remember your name or your website, they’ll remember your avatar and make an association. When they see it again later, on another network or site, they’ll be more likely to pay attention, to friend you, and maybe remove a few of those degrees of separation.

Very true. Often when I’m looking for new people to follow on Twitter, I’ll look out for an avatar that stands out from the rest. I’m now in the process of changing all my avatars to the new same picture.

If you spend more time reading camera and lens reviews than actually taking pictures, there is something majorly wrong. [Link]

Or you just can’t afford the camera you want.
