**labtrash** , you have that classic guy look, that look of “is this camera working or do I need to tinker with it some more”. 🙂 Here’s a recent one of [me and my hubby](http://avanarum.hyves.nl/album/26644901/Iedereen/d-zRsHOM/fotos/616103255/0/Farv/) in a Roman theatre in Spain, this spring. I’m hiding partly behind him, to look slimmer. This is [me feeding my baby son](http://avanarum.hyves.nl/album/26644901/Iedereen/d-zRsHOM/fotos/616102316/0/B8O7/) puree from a shell at the beach… And this is me [standing in a very red brook,](http://avanarum.hyves.nl/album/25801076/Actueel/zQR2AmHB/fotos/559869682/0/fo6j/) one of the tributaries of the Red River in Spain. And yes, that’s the waters natural color. ---

I did have one person refuse to believe I wasn’t him, despite my accent. My defense was it was 1 am, the lighting in Rob’s Western Room isn’t the best, and she looked like she had opened the place up… ---

> [@elfkin477](#): > > Out of curiosity, does anyone else think they look better in pictures taken with real film? I think I used to photograph better in the predigital days… Yes. Digital photos make me look 40 lbs heavier than I was back, say, in high school. ---

I think I used to photograph better in the predigital days… I think it’s a function of detail. Film gives you less detail than modern high-quality digital, so people look less… human. Just for shits and giggles, [I ran your photo through a few PhotoShop filters](http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/9641/justmeplusphotoshop.jpg) and removed all your pores, made your skin plasticky, gave you anime eyes; you know, all the stuff they usually do to fashion models. This is just a quick slapdash job for reference, but you can see how removing details makes people look more “modelish” – and less human. ---

> [@Shot\_From\_Guns](#): > > Cite? 😉 😛 Oh, people here don’t outright post, “Geeze, you take terrible pictures, taters!”, but I know they’re smirking in secret.😉 Seriously, my head is ALWAYS cocked to the side, I don’t know why. I can’t smile for a picture and have it look natural, and well, I guess I just don’t photograph well. It’s okay, it’s not like I’m trying to make my living by being a model. ---

You don’t look much like I expected you to, but look really good for your age, which I’d’ve only guessed by doing some quick mental math Yeah, it’s been a while, hasn’t it? In the time I’ve known you, I’ve got from bony skinny to plump (up 80 lbs on prednisone, lost about 30). You, on the other hand, keep improving. 🙂 ---
