I believe it’s still the case that non-subscribers are allowed to view threads read-only, so they’ll still benefit from the smarts and good looks of paying members, without needing to scrape up $14.95 of their own.

Anyway, here are two pictures of me from a trip to New York City last June.

I’ve since had a haircut but not another birthday, so the photographs show a 25-year-old with slightly more hair than I have now.

I know I’m not the intended target audience, being male and straight, but I’d just like to say that **RedFury** looks quite the distinguished Sean Connery type.I’ll bet he has no trouble at all with the ladies.

If I looked that good when I hit that age, I’d be quite pleased with myself.

So many first-time photos this thread! Yay!

Here’s [a recent one of me](http://www.flickr.com/photos/misnomer971/200060861/in/set-603396/), from Memorial Day weekend. I’m 34 in that photo; I turn 35 in less than a month.

So is **Licentious Ectomorph** (not that he looks _bad_ in his photos). For what it’s worth, coming from a girl and all. 😉

Holy crap, that’s one cute kid! 🙂

Thanks, **Ethilrist**. Son #1 is SUCH the ham. He couldn’t pass on the photo op. That’s exactly him too, Spongebob and the over-the-top acting!

Thank you kindly.

Picture threads are fun - I wish more people would post. **Abe** , **Apos** , and **Spavined Gelding** have really kicked my butt in GD, it would be neat to see their mugs!

Let’s hope this works…

Shoot. I’m 41 in that photo; I’ll be 43 in October and look pretty much the same.

Aw, thanks, **Misnomer** , that’s sweet – even if you are a girl. 😉 Actually, that’s why I don’t have many recent pics; I don’t photograph well. ☹

And holy crap, you’re 34/35? I had no idea. I would have thought ten years younger – seriously. Happy early birthday! 🙂

Hopefully that guess was based on my appearance, and not any apparent naïveté. 😉

Because I’m such a nice guy, I’ll save you all the pain of posting a pic of me. I have to say, though, that I’m quite impressed by how good looking you all are. Makes me sad that I haven’t perused more of these threads.

I’m thinking that it’s time for another Toronto Dopefest, which has absoutely _nothing_ to do with **Carlyjay** ’s pictures _whatsoever_. At all. Not even a little bit.

Hey you guys. I have a recent pic attached to an email and ready to send if somebody will be kind enough to host it. I totally can’t and don’t have a website or anything to do this.

Wow, thanks **What Exit**!! 🆒

Okay, I’m 44 in like a month. That was taken right after I got back from Pennsic Wars, which is a big fun medieval bacchanal in the hills of northwest Pennsylvania. I was so dirty and stinky and sweaty but I just had to go to Starbucks as soon as I got back, before I did anything else, which is where this photo was taken.
