I don’t have anything real old online, but here is me in [Jan 2003](http://members.cox.net/otanx/before.jpg) and me again in [Dec 2004](http://members.cox.net/otanx/wedding.jpg) I’m the tall one in the second photo 😃 Some people say I look like I lost weight, but I don’t see it. 😉 In truth I lost about 175lbs between the photos, maybe a little more. I had been down 215lbs at one point (started at 425) -Otanx ---

Here’s another pair for you: [My college yearbook photo.](http://community.webshots.com/photo/145850906/468747756MOzJTN) Hair down to my waist. [A couple of years ago, at an office party.](http://community.webshots.com/photo/145850906/371574171qXUKWW) I’d been photographing everyone else and then it was “It’s your turn! Up against the wall!” No, those little brown things on my head are _ **not** _ antennas, they’re hair clips. ---
