A good old potato masher. But I hated the side shadows though.
Those were the days. You must have thought you were in tall cotton then?

Is that your trophy case behind you? Good thing you took up photography.

That was a friend's room, actually. I recognize him in the photo on the mirror. That's pretty funny though.

And yes, that setup was the bomb!

The wood paneling behind you speak volumes about the era! I know because our house was built within that same time. I loath wood paneling now.

Without sounding too gay...that is a handsome young stud in the mirror.

And now if we could just have that hair again. LOL


Seems a bit soft, though.. next time, you might want to choose a different aperture.. make that DOF a little deeper to get the whole subject in focus...

Hehehe, sarcasm aside... isn't it fun to find these old gems?

Yep that wood panel matches the wood panel in my house. Unfortunately its still in my house. The wood panel is on my short list of things to destroy in my house when the remodel budget gets back on track......

Actually, the only thing I still have going for me from that photo is the hair. It ain't turnt a'loose yet, and only a the sideburns are gray so far.

Now, as for the 30 inch waist and the lack of wrinkles...

I think the softness was due to the cheap memory card I was using. That's all I could afford while in college.
