Below is a picture of myself next to a specimen of Coleocephalocereus aureus, from my trip with the CSSA group in Brazil last June:

This one was taken in 2001 in Chile, near San Pedro de Atacama. The plant is Echinopsis formosa (Soehrensia uebelmanniana):

I have no photos of myself as I am always behind the camera. Might break the lens with my mug shot:rofl:

OK, here's one of me taken by ME!!! It's not easy to hold the camera and plant, and click the button all at the same time! Took this today with my Mammillaria tetrancistra which has decided to pull all the stops out this week! (and I'm having a bad hair day, after having it cut last week!)

This is me with a Weberbauerocereus johnsonii that I got for £1 at an auction this year. OK so it's a bit worse for wear but nobody else wanted the poor thing and I felt sorry for it:cry:
Had great fun trying to transport it home in the car without decapitating it!
