Let's have a picture thread!
This is me from last summer--hair is longer now with some red underneath. Yeah, I'm a natural blonde. 
Show yourselves!

Me on the left, with a friend from PA School, enjoying a concert in Seattle.
That's a keeper! 
I love the way you look in this photo! Hmm. Beautiful brown eyes.
Oh. (everything I almost said 
)
Looking good Aristus! 
Always! 
Looking forward to it! 
That's a great photo Riff!
Here's me last summer wake surfing.
Wake surfing is actually pretty low impact once you get up on the board. It is a lot of fun though.
I'd probably do it now, but just straight up and down, and a little maneuvering. The flips, and porpoising though? Doubt my lumbar discs would oblige. 
Looks fun as hell though and definitely something I would've been all over in my daredevil days! 
Looks like fun!Cool pic! 
Grew up skiing and fishing those waters. I know where all the alligators live. Just in case that could be handy.
Not real fond of swimming with 'gators.

Moi. At 40.
Ah ha. I see by your tee that we need to share a few more PMs. 
You're a blonde too!
This old cur has a few good barks left.
I've enjoyed sharing when I needed a shoulder.
oh and
You are a good friend bluesbassman
You are a beautiful lady! Nice phone voice, too.
Today they are under a blanket of fresh snow. Think SPRING!

Last Spring at my old house. Sigh.
Mission accomplished!

A few years ago before being ponzied.
I was thinking of letting it turn gray.
Which color looks the best?
I'd seriously like to hear your thoughts.
I'm trying to decide what to show the world this year.
I Miss You ! [img]
[/img]
I'm sending you psychic hugs as hard as I know how.
I have felt you giving me that hug all day. [img]
[/img]
Nice shot NRL! How's the planting going?
And nobody's giving you the stink eye from behind.
Now don't hit me with your shovel.
where all the bodies are buried 
My hair is a little longer now. And I have new glasses, but pretty much the same.
Very nice...
I like the maroony/violet color. I like your style btw, looks good on you!
I fell in love it with it right away.
Now, let me ask you; if I remember correctly you're a PA or a nurse? Is that right? Looking at your picture up thread, you have kind eyes. I would feel comfortable with you. I'm not comfortable with any other docs etc except my own. I have to be close to death to go to a hospital or urgent care center.
I'm a PA, a Physician Assistant. I'm fortunate that a lot of my patients express confidence in me that they say they don't feel for MD's. I don't know if they are intimidated by the medical degree or what. I just try to live up to my own expectation of what a PA is: a roll-up-your-sleeves and do good medicine kind of guy.
Please don't wait until you are near death. If you have something going on, have it evaluated. I'm a firm believer in preventive care. - End Of Lecture -
When I'm in a medical jam, I could only wish to have such a wise and caring PA to take care of me. With you, I know I'd be in good hands. (Apart from your constantly quoting shit from the old Globe, of course. )
There's no time for much more than: "Stop smoking!" "Don't drink so much!" "No, Gatorade is NOT a health drink!" "You don't need antibiotics for a virus!", etc.
Every once in a while I'll have a patient who is a veteran, pinboy3niner. I only get them if they are not, for some reason, eligible for the VA. If they are, I'm required to refer them there. We get some Federal funding for our homeless clinic, and if veterans get care here, it's considered double-dipping.
I tell you, it breaks my heart to see the things they go through. Nobody in this country should be homeless, but especially not veterans...
The smile, the kindness in your eyes. Just what I would've expected.
I never would have guessed that the poster was an attractive lady.
My bad! 
and thank you for the compliment.
When I was a teen my brothers an me were hanging out at the skating rink, there was always a cop out front. Well my brothers were talking with their friends and cursing up a storm dropping the f bomb all over the place; finally the cop says hey watch your language there's a lady present. My brother said 'where'? The cop pointed to me; my brother laughed and said that's no lady that's my sister. Then he reached over and put his arm around me.
Thank you.
Looking at your picture I have no doubt when you walk into a room it's all eyes on you! You can tell you have 'that' energy, knew it before I saw your pic.
And it still blows me away.
I get the same attention when I am out for a drive.
However it plays hell with my personal life. It takes a man who is secure in himself to walk by my side without feeling threatened. I studied psychology in college so I am a people watcher.
One summer I had pedicures done in plaid.
It was amazing to watch how many men were looking at my toes. That was fun!
Inside and out!
that's very kind, I'm touched.

when we had temps in the low 70's!! We'll be lucky to get above freezing this week. Ice and snow today 
.
one for canoeing. I think you just gave me a great idea for this summer's vacation! We've been back East (from southern CA) for six years now....lots of things to explore yet .
Thanks for suggesting it and I will definitely let you know what's up.
You have some long hair!
back on the trail soon .
Fun to put the face with the name! You look happy.
Most of my days are good days.
Nice to meet you!
But then, so have I and the Red Sox.
Back at ya!
Sox fan since 1967.....
I took the Million Dollar Highway to get there. It's the second highest pass in CO, unpaved, and not suitable for passenger cars. I don't want to hijack the thread but here's a few more pics.
I would really like to get to CO and do some hiking (while I still can) .
I'm glad you enjoyed them. The rest from the trip are here: http://s137.photobucket.com/user/digrow/library/Imogene%20Pass
Maybe Ouray, but I passed them coming up when I was on the downslope to Telluride. I was pretty lucky that they pulled over to batten down for a hailstorm in a wide spot. It was pretty tight for a long stretch there. And thanks!
Way back in 1986. They must have rebuilt the little shack and put up new microwave towers. They weren't there then. Nor was the sign you're leaning on!!
That area is just gorgeous.
You're right, second highest navigable roadway in North America.
Ya gotta be nuts, but it's fun!! 
I guess the sign got stolen so often they just wrote the info on the post.
I wanted to mail my landlord his rent check using the mailbox up there, but that seemed unwise. 
In Vietnam in October 1969 (on the left)...
And more recently...
Thanks for sharing these photos pinboy3niner. They mean a lot.
Great pictures! We went to the memorial a few years ago and it was so emotional--I saw people touching names on the wall and crying. I was bawling myself. Thank you for your service.
I really like your recent photo.
Thank you! 
I've been to the Wall a couple of times, but I can't imagine going there as a veteran.
...but I couldn't make myself go out my front door. I'd suppressed so much for so long, without even knowing it, and facing all of that was very scary and threatening. I was unable to do it.
Eventually I had a dramatic psychological catharsis. The kind of thing where, if it happened to someone in church, they would have felt 'reborn.' And I ended up working for a nonprofit group at the Wall for a couple of years. Here's another photo, of me with a friend from that time...
That's me looking at a painting I did on my daughter's wall when she was 4 months. In June she's leaving to teach English n Kiev.
That's in the 90s when my wife worked for Energy and Commerce.
that's me way back in college in a pie eating contest for Easter Seals- 1972
What does your t-shirt say in the first one?
That's either an old pic or we need to talk...
When you saw me I was wearing a black hoodie and sunglasses.
And hey - that was in the middle of an 8 mile hike! 
The camera puts on 10 pounds. I have neither gained nor lost additional substantive weight!
Like your shades--nice to meet you!
Who I always thought was a guy. My bad.
Kind of the way I always thought MadinMaryland was a girl...
"maidinmaryland."
I hope you're not disappointed!
I love the photo uppityperson.
This might be the last picture taken of me. it's ten years old, but everyone tells me I haven't changed in 30 years. I'm a blond too, but it's not clear from the picture.
Nice to meet you!
at the end of the show Blackie did a stage dive and landed on my head. It was kinda cool.
When I last saw them, that was the last song they played.
I have some really great DRI stories.
I love a lady who loves guys with long hair!
This is a couple of years old. Not much has changed, the hair is longer and a little grayer.
Your picture is great too.
wow. long hair too.
All the way down to the small of my back.
That is interesting.
I hope you don't hold that against me.
those are my husband's glasses and i'd have gone blind had i opened my eyes. he thinks i should get my prescription but in his frames, but i'm not sure.
my hair is just as shaggy now, i am long past due for a cut
Nice to meet you!
for your face shape and haircut! Supah cute!!!
So great to see you here, fizzgig!
i went nuts and chopped off all my hair when i turned 30 and haven't looked back i'm loving it so much. i'll probably get lenses put in those when we have a bit of extra money, people already look at me strangely at this point, so i figure why not
good to see you, my friend
You're lovely, lovely, lovely.
Can't believe you're 30. You were just a little cub reporter when we got to know one another in the Lounge. You wear 30 exceedingly well, my friend!
And I just turned 50 at the end of February. Shhhhhhhhh. Our secret.
***ME AND HUBBY. KISSING LAST YEAR, OUR 25TH ANNIVERSARY***
***ME AND OUR CAT GIRLS***
Someone I'd like to hug.
I must admit that I was feeling a little nekkid and defeated in that photo. I hadn't planned to end up with such a short haircut. :yikes:
Happy Tuesday, RiffRandell!
I'm kind of used to it by now (finally).
I hate great distances. I've missed you, my lovely fellow strawberry blonde!
Yes, great distances do stink.
How's my buddy The Most Excellent and Wiley Boycat Named Ginger?
is becoming a little old man, I'm sad to say. The Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger (13 years old, 12 pounds) has always been more of a lover than a fighter, but last week he decided to challenge my sister-in-law's little boy cat, Pipi (1.5 years old, 15 pounds, lives across the street) for peeing around in our hedge. Needless to say, Ginger has spent the last few days limping around, nursing his wounds and reluctantly taking antibiotics for his many flesh wounds.
Talk some sense into your buddy, wouldja?
Man (cat, whatever ) has got to know his limitations. Age creeps up on the best of us. He needs to shift from brute force to strategic counter measures. He should wait until this pimply faced upstart finishes his business, then swoop in and reclaim his turf. Problem solved.
I trust all's well with you. Sure would enjoy seeing some new art when you have a mind to share it.
That's my art for today, and you have now seen it.
You just made my day!
Needless to say, the feeling's mutual.
Hope you're just fine!
It's wonderful to see you!
Remember this one?
Here's a more recent one at work:
Current, with beard (with a little grey!) and different glasses:
All my best to you and Wesley!
Handsome as always! How the heck have you been, swimboy? Drop me a PM sometime, okay?
Sooooooooo nice to see you here!
Or should that be, Buon giorno?
Howdy, perhaps?
Or maybe, Konnichiwa?
How are you? Long time!
Almost, of course, as cute as my husband. And The Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger.
getting a foot of snow today..ugh.
Here I am, no, I'm not stoned, lol....just a morning pic..
and here's my new tat
which is in memory of my Mom <3
This is her holding my daughter, six years ago.
Nice tat--my daughter is about the same age---turns 7 next week--but you look a lot younger than me!
Peanut turned six in November as for being (or looking) young...It's because we never see the sun here in Maine..I turn 39 in a couple of weeks. I think this pic shows my age better -
You can't walk from the house to the car without sweat pouring off you. Our subdivision has a public pool that we go to but the water is so warm it barely cools you off. I have to get in every 5 minutes. Of course we have central air but it gets so hot by May and you don't turn in off until October you get no break on the electricity bill because you have such a small window (no pun intended) where you're not running the air or the heat.
There's so many transplants from Northern states who think I'm nuts because I miss the snow so much.
I just miss NE in general--Friday night fish frys, fried clams, the fall (my favorite season), good pizza and most of all my family.
I think my NE accent (that I thought I never had but everyone down here tells me I do) got stronger because I was hell bent on not picking up a Southern one. No offense to Southerners. My kids don't have it either, and they were both born down here.
Sorry for ranting; it's just nice to talk to a New Englander, and I'm such a New England girl at heart!
Rockland area (half way up this damn state) though....originally from N.H. (I really shouldn't call myself Maine-ah, pisses off the native Maine-ahs)
I did live for a couple of years in South Florida - what a shit hole, but I loved the weather. I did miss the cheap lobsters right off the boat...and my family. Now, both parents are gone, and it's just my little family (me, hubby, daughter and beasties) and my brother that are left in this state.
We should swap houses as timeshare, lol....you can come up and enjoy the winters, while I go enjoy some summer weather. I have a beautiful house for sale up here - only asking $199k. Less than a mile from the harbor.....Fully restored 1920's Sears Craftsman bungalow, 2k sq. feet.....
I love your pic, you look so nice and warm
but it sure shows your beauty.
Great photo Maine-ah.
someone else mentioned in this thread how it took them until their thirties for them to get "comfortable" with themselves. I have to agree...I was never comfortable in my own skin until I was about 35.
I'm in the middle, between two good friends. That was 2007, I believe. I guess it's been a rough few years, because I look quite a bit older than that now, but I'm usually avoid the camera so I don't have a whole lot to choose from.

Receiving instruction on how to ride a Segway. It's a little iffy for the first couple of minutes.
Mrs. V. and me, as we wed.
I'm sure you did far better than me. Congrats on the second picture. Beautiful---is she doing ok?
Oh, how I envy your sense of balance, K. I'm the ultimate klutz, and you inspire me.
Forgive my asking. I haven't been around that much lately anyway. Maybe you're just on the night shift and I never catch you.
I've been busy livin' life, including breaking up cat fights, administering antibiotics and having many cautionary talks with Ginger (i.e., "This fighting cannot continue because you're going to get seriously hurt. Then we will have to put you in the cat taxi and go visit Dr. Eggli." Oy, oy, oy.
And that you like my outfit is a great compliment, you have such style. Two weeks in China and all I packed was a duffel bag. Seriously, no one has even commented on my socks with sandals? 
How I envy your smooth blonde hair! Genetics gave me kindy-curly-red and I've learned to live with it.
Gettahold of your camera shyness. You're lovely.
But I too learned to live with what I had. You are lovely yourself

Great picture!
This is from a few years ago, when I was living in Mexico on research. I visited Real de Catorce in San Luis Potosi.
Weren't you in my home state a while back?
You're a great DUer, a la izauoerda!
You're a peach And maybe, but I can't remember which state you're in. I just graded 40 exams...my brains are completely cooked. I was just in Oklahoma and Louisiana not too long ago.
Hope you're well!
where the wind comes sweepin' down the plains. (But I've lived in Switzerland for the past 13 years.)
Congrats on getting through those 40 exams! Really glad to see you again!
P.S. I _love_ your Frida Kahlo avatar.
Love your shades--did you find that brew at the site?
you both. But you knew that.
we love it so much. i keep forgetting to tell you
And that always makes for a suberb shot.
So beautiful---actually you inspired me to do this. Haved missed you lots---great to see you!
really good to see you too things are ok. insanely busy but ok I'm so happy to see this! All the best to you, as always!
good to see you around here againI'm still so tickled to death for the both of you. You both look wonderful, and so happy...
hope life and work is going welllousy web cam shot
That's a compliment!
It's so nice to see so many of my favorite people here.
This is me and my husband last year celebrating our 4th wedding anniversary: 
(BYW, If anyone comes to visit DC, this place has the BEST and most inexpensive Martini's in town. We always go there after a visit to the Zoo... )
Here is me and my niece that same afternoon -- she was visiting us for spring break: 
Don't let her flair for drama fool you. This picture was a co-mutual flair of the drama...
(to be honest, I really don't think anyone was really embarrassed.)
And this is a picture from one of the more awesome days of my life... 
This is one of our furkids, Kizzy the beagle. 
This was taken at Cedar Beach, Long Island --
Ok, I am done. I really love this thread. Thank you so much for it, RiffRandell!
Great pictures--and teared up at the Obama one. I'm so jealous---but happy for you. Thanks for sharing!
Wait -- were you talking about POTUS or my Hubby?
I really love this thread, I truly mean that. SO many wonderful DU'rs.
I'm on the left. The cutout was the surprise "guest" at my sister's Christmas Eve party.
Didn't notice.
Must have been funny for the President to be next to a cut out.
Nice picture!

This is not a very good picture, but it is the most recent...
When I am more recovered from my various adventures, I will post a much better pic!
Thanks!
I will have much better pics up in a few weeks...
You just made my day, you did!
We've been to each one since #10...it's the longest running concert/festival in Orlando's history....godsmack, stained, Chevelle and theory of a deadman were the main acts at this one, but there were 11 bands altogether.
No kiss cam, just my phone and the couple in front of us! Miss Rppper says "thank you" as well!

How I got my username. Looking north to the Arctic Ocean on helicopter trip to Pt. Thompson last summer.
Lemme guess--early eighties on the last one? You have nice teeth--did you have braces?
I only had braces on my top teeth. Sore subject---my 11 year old son just got them and his teeth were perfectly straight---it's such a racket nowadays--I'm stewing because we paid upfront--5 grand--I really don't think he needed them and should have put my foot down.
Would love to see the Hillary pic---I campaigned for Bill in 1992 and shook his hand, but since technology was not the same I don't have a picture. It was an amazing experience. I was 22.
Thanks for sharing!

Awesome hair!
a feminist supermodel. I like it.
Last summer they played For the Bible Tells Me So all around our state as part of the marriage equality campaign, I was collecting information from people who wanted to volunteer at the showing in my town-I'm the one looking dopey in shorts and a reallllly short hair cut...
And here's a more normal of picture of me at work
I do work at a lab (that's my full time work). It's a huge place, and I work in just one little lab that performs trans genetic services. It's repetitive, but it's a good, reliable job with benefits. I'm very lucky
Thanks for doing that! So great!
and my lovely wife
I refer to my kids as my little liberals. They're smart, good kids--but I'm their mother--so of course they are! Kudos to their liberal great Dad, too!
The summer before the 2004 election my son was 3 and we went home to New England to visit family--my in-laws were repubs but now admit thy're crazy but say "all politicians are to blame" and they had a family reunion and we got my son 2 t-shirts--Kids for Kerry and I Hated Bush Before it Was Cool---they never said a word--but my side of the family loved them.
you had so many nice things to say about everyone else!
I'm the one in the black dress.
Both sisters are very photogenic...I may know you only from your posts, but you shine like your username.
I want to thank everyone that participated! I enjoyed it.
Not smiling...

Me at my most slovenly, during my "Lost Weekend" days... (~2010)
Most recent pic: trying to look like a 70's cop (2013)
It's a few years old, but I pretty much look the same.
Good 2 see ya!Miss you buddy! Hope things are well!
I'm good thanks. How's things with you?

Dig the one on the pony, that was fun that they did that back then. I'll have to dig mine out, haven't seen it in a while.
The last one is so cool!
This is from the January Inauguration.
Yes, that inauguration.
I love your beard and that hat too!
You have not killed this thread, not by a long shot!
I'm jealous!

Your Humble Servant at Burning Man 2011.
Not bad for a (Then) 61-year-old guy.
Looks like lots of FUN!!
That's me on the left, during a jam session:
I think I was playing a tambourine?
and mail me a print. This was that picture.
when the Zombies start looking young.
40's. I don't know why...just did. Sorry.
Cool!
That is a great picture!
Been around DU awhile. Don't post all that often. That being said, it's really nice to put a face to the names I see so often. Me just a few years ago, basically look the same ...

I feel the same way--cute picture!
Back in the day I used to shock the world
I also liked fishing
This is how I see myself (self portrait)
IceShadow and Cat 2.0 deciding who gets to pick which show to watch
These pics brought to you by:
Looks like dog is going to win!
Unfortunately they both passed years ago. I miss them both. 
I see that I'm surrounded by women. How did that happen and how can I get back there ?
Do you have a time machine?
...and I immediately got lost:
Even then I sensed that hot chicks dig cool cars, but all I had was that old Ranch Wagon and no gas money.
Story of my life.
Thanks!
Done in my studio.
I'm pretty androgynous, so I just roll with it. Super skinny there too.
Nice to meet you
Closest I ever got was to touch the back of a dolphin at Seaworld. Very interesting sensation, but to get as close as you did had to be amazing.
How cool to swim with the dolphin! What amazing creatures they are.
Great picture! Thanks!
...about your jaundiced complexion?
No lie---yesterday my husband was working on one of our computers and he said he needed a dongle (he really did). We both laughed.
Thanks for clarifying you weren't flipping me off---I would have been extremely offended.
Really put lie to the idea that there was this massive universal support for Bushco and their agenda. 1.2 Million people on the Mall.
Only slightly dampened when the media mostly ignored the whole thing; CNN spent the day talking about Estee Lauder and scouring NASCAR events trying to find the elusive "Bush NASCAR voter".
Anyway, sorry I can't out myself more. I appreciate your thread. Y'all are some fine looking folks.

All I have that's recent is my work pic. Please disregard the fakey work smile.
Nice to meet you!
I love putting faces to usernames! It's great to see you all.
This one's a couple of years old.
Love your bike! You are truly beautiful. Your smile radiates happiness.
Now my ride is a 1800cc Honda Goldwing Trike. We are DU Biker Chicks!
His KZ has a solo seat and the Magna's a literal pain in the ass (and other parts) on long trips. I really want to try one of those Can Ams, but he's not having any of it. Says they look too much like a snowmobile.
Biker chicks rule!

I love the feathers.
(this was before we lowered it and got rid of the forward pegs and changed the bars and put Harley pipes on it and added saddlebags and put on a sound system etc... it looks a little different now but for some reason I haven't taken a recent pic)
Sorry about the pic quality....fast bikes for a 500cc....I've owned 4 V4's...the v30 here, a v65 saber and magna and an old v45 hurricane...love 'em!
You have a great smile---really photogenic.
And thank you for starting this- I love photo threads.
with my after 'I've seen it all' face for a typical European tourist ...
That was a fun day, wasn't it?
I'm pretty clueless to lounge stuff---usually.
You make a great couple!

Yeah--that's pretty depressing--but thanks for sharing!
