Set the Wayback Machine to 1998

A few weeks ago I was going through some boxes of photos, looking for a picture of a friend of mine who is retiring in July. I used the pic to draw his retirement cartoon. In the stack of photos, I found these little reminders of youth taken on the same roll of film. It was the summer of 1998 and I just got back from DC (where my friend worked).

It is amazing how much a person can change over the course of 12 years. back then I had that cheesy mustache and my hair was amazingly thick.



There are very few photos of me while I was in school and after really. It was only after I came out that I really didn't mind having my pic taken. I became a lot more open and thanks to the advancement in digital photography did it become so much more accessible to get pics.

And nowadays I can laugh at myself. Even at that cheesy mustache. Why I didn't grow my goatee or beard out back then is a mystery.

I'm shocked there weren't more pics of you. You're a beautiful guy :)

It always comes down to comfortability with photos I guess and at that time in my life, I didn't like to be photographed.

An unexpected compliment! *blush* lol, although believe me...I was a fugly youth...

I can understand the 'comfort factor' - thankfully you're more comfortable in front of the camera now...because the rest of us wouldn't have so many great pics to admire if you weren't! :D
