Revealing Myself

It is more than a little ironic that I make my living as a photographer, yet I have a phobia of having my photograph taken. There are literally no photographs of me in our home, that is until last Christmas. My wife managed to get a copy of a photograph taken of me by my sister sometime around 1975 at our high school.

In trying to be more revealing of myself on this blog and to put a face with all the rants and opinions, I thought that I would share this photo with everyone else. I have made a few comments myself and would welcome others. I would also challenge the rest of you to open yourselves up to such humiliation!

I want to remind you that this was pre-atheist. I was a church-going skinny little Baptist hell raiser in 1975.

This female student is totally checking my ass out!



A few notes:

1. Note the double zippered pants for easy access when needed.
2. Nose is in full adult size at age 13 (and you wonder why I needed double zippered pants - you do the math)
3. Hair by Robert Plant
4. Macramé beaded necklace (pre-hemp days)

Perhaps I will get past my fear of being photographed someday, but at least you now know where that fear was founded!
