who are you? (meme/game)

[cellio]

I got this from lordandrei, who posted the lineage here.

Post anonymously, giving me three clues as to who you are. I will try to guess. I won't check IP addresses.

I'll add my guesses to your comments, so you'll have to check back now and then. If I guess wrong, give me another clue. I'll continue until I get it or I give up in despair and embarrassment.

Clues that describe half the people on my friends list, such as "I have cats", won't be very helpful. And if you're not on my friends list but just popping in, you might want to say so if you want me to have a fighting chance. :-)

1) At the age of ten, I spent most of the summer studying with an artist and keeping an eye on her 2yo. Mostly I worked on pencil sketching, but she also introduced me to a basic gothic hand, which was my intro to calligraphy. Subsequently attending a technical school, I studied draftsmanship in the original sense, including how to hand ink technical drawings, which is how it was done before laser printers.

2) As a child, I had a speech impediment (or so it was diagnosed). My parents were advised that I would grow out of it so long as I was not made self-conscious about it. For that reason (I later learned) they did not let me take singing lessons which I dearly wanted.

3) My father was a semi-pro photographer; he gave me a Canon 35mm when I was 9 or 10 (this is back in the days when kids didn't get technical toys like that), and he would bring me along on nature shoots.

Wow, that's hard.

The only two people on my friends list who have ever mentioned a past speech impediment are, I think, too young for clue #1, so I'm going to take a shot in the dark here.

(I wrote that, and then spent ten minutes browsing my friends list and coming up empty.)

May I have another clue?

Arg. Defeated by browser.

Dang. (I'd been letting LJ mail pile up unread after the first non-anonymous post here, but this prompted me to go look. The clue you posted and deleted was nifty.)
