As promised- a picture of me in my hat.

Makes me think of Sting's song Englishman in New York.

I look very English, don't I!

Ooh, yes, and a fittingly bleak background too - you could be in East Berlin.

[identity profile] poliphilo.livejournal.com 2010-01-25 11:02 am (UTC)(link)
So I could! :)

Very nice picture, sir. And you do indeed look quintessentially English.

Thank you.

A bit of a rogue is what comes to mind.

Ah, I like that....

Very dashing! I immediately searched the photo for Emma Peal!

[identity profile] poliphilo.livejournal.com 2010-01-25 01:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah yes....:)

Hee! That's a great picture!

Thanks.

I hear the theme from 'The Third Man' when I look at this picture.

One of my very favourite movies.

It's frightening how much you look like Alec Guinness in that picture.

[identity profile] poliphilo.livejournal.com 2010-01-25 03:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Alec Guinness is one of my heroes.

I was thinking the same thing, Laura.

And to me you look like Inspector Morse; at least you are consistently British!

It's the grey hair :)

As promised- a picture of me in my hat.

You look wonderful!

I wish you had a book coming out. That would make a lovely author's photo. Or an illustration for a poem.

Portrait of the artist as a tiresome old curmudgeon....

Portrait of the artist as a tiresome old curmudgeon....

Nah. But even if so, a curmudgeon with a great hat.

[identity profile] karenkay.livejournal.com 2010-01-25 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I see what you mean about the hat belonging to a bookie.

[identity profile] poliphilo.livejournal.com 2010-01-25 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
It's very much an old man's hat.

[identity profile] athenais.livejournal.com 2010-01-25 03:47 pm (UTC)(link)
That is a dashing look for you! I like that hat.

[identity profile] poliphilo.livejournal.com 2010-01-25 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you

I see a new icon in your future...

[identity profile] poliphilo.livejournal.com 2010-01-25 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I hadn't thought of that.

[identity profile] daisytells.livejournal.com 2010-01-25 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a lovely hat! And boy, do you ever look like an Englishman (or at least like MY idea of an Englishman). Very distinguished and oh, so dignified! Sometimes it is possible to tell a lot about a person by the hats he - or she - wears.

[identity profile] poliphilo.livejournal.com 2010-01-25 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a very English hat. John Betjeman wore something very similar for his TV work.

Bitching hat. It suits you.

[identity profile] poliphilo.livejournal.com 2010-01-25 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks

[identity profile] nineweaving.livejournal.com 2010-01-25 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Quintessential!

What a lovely compliment!

I made it into an icon for you. It turned out quite well:



(I'll delete this from my photobucket account in a few days.)

[identity profile] poliphilo.livejournal.com 2010-01-25 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
That is nice. Thanks.

Oh, it's awesome! I hope you use the icon.

[identity profile] poliphilo.livejournal.com 2010-01-26 09:51 am (UTC)(link)
I will.

[identity profile] moocowrich.livejournal.com 2010-01-25 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
An excellent picture! I love the hat.

[identity profile] poliphilo.livejournal.com 2010-01-26 09:51 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks

I used to play at being a Russian spy when I was a kid.

Excellent shot! Love your eyes, and the hat!

[identity profile] poliphilo.livejournal.com 2010-01-26 09:57 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks.
