Post a pic of yourself taken when you were half your current age.

[swag]

In the railroad apartment at 3449 Holmead Pl., NW, Washington, DC, 2003. Photo by June M. Johnson. Back then, I spent most of my time smoking cigarettes.

[Fenris]

1. This is as close as I can get

I like yours a lot.

[swag]

2. I like yours a lot as well.

You always were a handsome chap, it seems.

[Fenris]

7. My father apparently thought I was in some sort of Paris boarding school.

[VenusRising]

[swag]

8. I know you are, but what am I?

[graywarrior]

9. I yam what I yam.

[Haole Girl]

10. Ok

Seems like a lifetime ago...

[bigwillq]

11. Aww.....

[Haole Girl]

12. Thanks

How you doin' ? :hi:

A long day at work is about to wrap up..thank jeebus. :)

brb

:toast:

[av8rdave]

131. Wow...now that's a great pic!

[Blue-Jay]

13. From my college ID.

Check out my cool-as-hell glasses, circa 1985!

[swag]

41. Suave?

Goddamn, you are one suave fuck!

Did you ever have those photogray lenses? Those are cool. My girl has those.

[In_The_Wind]

18. I was almost 1/2 my current age ( plus 2 more years).

[billyskank]

65. *wolf whistles*

:loveya:

[lizziegrace]

19. My father and me - 1983

at my wedding reception. The marriage didn't last, but I'm very lucky to still have my father around. :)

[RFKHumphreyObama]

82. You look beautiful in that picture Lizziegrace

Absolutely stunning. And you continue to do so of course

[Dervill Crow]

20. This is as close as I can get without rummaging through hundreds of pictures.

Here we are with our furbabies. Once we had human babies all we did was take pics of them.

[Whoa_Nelly]

21. Half + 5 years

Age 24

[intheflow]

26. Great shot!

Too bad you're sleeping in it. Bwaahaahaa!!! :silly:

[Whoa_Nelly]

27. If only I were the babe in the pic

:eyes:

[Left Is Write]

22. I can do that.

This is the third time I've posted this picture this weekend, but what the hell! It was taken in June of 1987. I was almost, but not quite, 21. The baby was two or three days old. The lake behind us is Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis.




This was taken a year earlier, in June of 1986, on my 20th birthday.

[crim son]

23. This is the only one I can find that isn't a family or boyfriend pic.

Nice. :eyes:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

33. Very nice!

:D :hi:

[SPKrazy]

48. Awww, so cute!

:loveya:

:hug:

you remind me of someone...

:think:

[havocmom]

78. Valerie Plame?

She looks like the very lovely Mrs. Wilson.

[SPKrazy]

94. Yes, I'm Joe Wilson, and that is the lovely Ms. Plame

no that wasn't who I was thinking of.

I was thinking that she reminds me of my sister.

:shrug:

[havocmom]

104. Hey, I'm a liberal = broad minded = not inclined to rule out a lotta possibilities

But she does look like the lovely Mrs Wilson ;)

[SPKrazy]

105. I know she does

and in fact she is lovelier than the lovely Ms. Plame IMO

;)

[havocmom]

113. No bias on your part

I'm sure ;)

[SPKrazy]

127. Admittedly There Is A Great Deal Of Bias

but that doesn't change it at all does it?

;)


:rofl:

[pdx_prog]

132. Great pic Crim son!

[AlCzervik]

24. almost, off by 2 years.

me in Honolulu 1989.

[intheflow]

25. I'm 43. My photos have a gap from age 17 to age 36.

So I guess I'll post the 17 year old me. I was 7 months pregnant at the time--not my hottest hour. :(

[In_The_Wind]

49. You may not think it was your hottest hour but you were beautiful.

[intheflow]

50. And so damn thin!

Even while pregnant! I remember thinking what a cow I was. That was a good 50 pounds ago! :rofl:/:cry:

Thanks, Joan. :hug:

[PassingFair]

122. You look like a young Debra Winger in that shot! nt

[intheflow]

125. I used to get that a lot when I was young,

back in the early '80's. I did some professional acting then, so I always thought the comparison was because people were trying to compare me to other actresses. I never really saw the resemblence to Winger, myself.

[DemoTex]

28. About 1/3 my current age .. in a land far away.

[havocmom]

79. you are more handsome now

And in a much better place

:patriot:

[Awsi Dooger]

29. Just about right

In the sports office of the student newspaper, end of my senior year in college. Yeah, we had computer capability, way back then:

[mitchum]

30. Man, that's really freaky...

we share a lot of the same facial features. Our noses are different, but pretty much everything else...

[Awsi Dooger]

39. I'd trade noses

Mine has given me trouble since junior high. Allergies, and prominent veins on the front of the nose. Probably from too much sun on the golf course. Finally I had laser surgery. Turned my nose crusty, and then purple for two weeks, scaring little kids. But wow it worked. That was in '93 and I'm almost ready to do it again.

Hey, I hope your hairline has fared better than mine. I'm okay in back but a few years ago the front started to crawl away. That's why my golf visor gets more playing time these days. :)

[mitchum]

43. It's still there, but not quite as thick as before...

as my dad likes to mention from time to time :) Of course, that probably tells you where I get both my vanity and slightly mean streak. He's a 66 year old man who has to get his hair THINNED OUT during barber visits. Grrrr...

[Connonym]

31. ok

[Fuzz]

32. A little less than half

[mzteris]

35. Ralph, is that you?

:rofl:

I bet you got that a LOT!


Only I think you were way cuter!!

[Roon]

37. cutie eom

[siouxsiecreamcheese]

34. okey dokey

I think I was about 15/16 at the time, so thats half my age now.. I still look the same though.

[Elidor]

36. A kinder, gentler Hardhead

[swag]

38. Gotta say, love the thread.

Love all the old pics.

[reyd reid reed]

40. You mean there were cameras way back then??

:P

[SeattleGirl]

42. Me, at slightly less than half the age I am now:

(Along with my beautiful daughter).

[reyd reid reed]

44. You were as beautiful then

as you are now.

:hi:

:hug:

[SeattleGirl]

45. Thanks, sweets!

:hi: :hug:

[swag]

46. 46th post, in honor of another of me at 23, this with happy scanner accident

[swag]

47. We all ate that inner thigh for dinner one night.

Rubbed it with garlic and cayenne and roasted it past sizzlin'.

Poor, we was.

[Haole Girl]

52. ROFL!

:rofl:

[havocmom]

81. Great hat!

:hi:

[swimboy]

116. I think I'm seeing right up Broadway.

[GenDem]

51. I was 24 here, exactly half my age.

My son Joe, me, my son Brandon

[SarahB]

53. 17.5 years/Fall 1989

[NewWaveChick1981]

54. This one is close...

:hi: I was 23 in 1986 when this was taken. I'm 44 now.

[bikebloke]

55. Close enough

[Burma Jones]

56. About half..........

Deep in my "I wish I was Jerry Garcia" phase....

[Ptah]

57. A little less than half

[swag]

60. Is that at any lake I know?

[Ptah]

61. It's near Ann Arbor, Michigan. n/t

[DFW]

58. This is close: 1 ½ years older than I am now

Some would say the young woman in the black bikini is
of greater interest than me in my turban. I agree, which
is why I married her :-)

[DFW]

59. Oops! Make that

One and a half years older than half what I am now!

[Hugin]

62. Mine are still on display down at your local post office...

Although, the reward has decreased some over time.

[DFW]

68. If it's still in six figures, I might still be interested if it's a lump some payment

[DFW]

69. Ugh! Make that lump sum!!! Bushese taking hold..........

[Hugin]

80. I thought you might be talking about the lumps I've gained in the years since...

:rofl:

[Hugin]

73. Inflation has taken it's toll on it.... Only five figures.

$100.00!

I'm guessing they have some sort of a payment plan.

[BarenakedLady]

63. Me

1/2 -1 year. I was 18, high school graduation.

[billyskank]

64. You improve with age.

You were cute then. You are beautiful now. :loveya:

[BarenakedLady]

67. Thanks

What? You're not digging my hair? It added about 3-4 inches to my height.



:rofl:

[Inchworm]

71. I'm loving it :)

Nice pics you! :loveya:

:hi:

[BarenakedLady]

83. Hi there!

:hi:

Where are yours?

[Inchworm]

87. I have no scanner hooked up

Plus I think the pic I have in mind just may scare you off. I wouldn't want to do that :)

:hi:

[billyskank]

72. Yes, together with the polo neck

it's an excellent look. :D

[BarenakedLady]

84. Ain't it though?

Where are your pics slacker?

:)

[billyskank]

86. For you

I don't have one of me aged half my current age, which would be 15. The closest I can get is this one of me aged 18, playing the solo to Oh Lady Be Good...

[BarenakedLady]

88. Wow

Never in a million years would I have recognized you. Sweet shades!

:thumbsup:

[billyskank]

89. It's amazing the difference hair makes.

:D

[fizzgig]

97. you are too cute!

:hi:

[billyskank]

:hi: BNL. :)

[BarenakedLady]

70. Hi stranger!

:hi:

[Hugin]

76. Hey there!

Our schedules seem to be as out-of-synch as a 1954 Zenith TeeVee lately.
So, I thought I'd say Hello. :)

[RetroLounge]

74. Approx. 23 yrs old, circa 1984

Taken in the studio on Lincoln Avenue in Chicago, while recording a 4-track demo. I had come back in the studio to layer some guitar tracks.

and yes, I wore my sunglasses at night...

[havocmom]

85. Hey, some of us LIKED that look

:D

[bettyellen]

90. i have a pic of myself with the same expression, lol...

i will have to find it for you.

[swag]

91. Please do.

And I just realized that I labeled my photo as "2003" rather than "1983," which it should have been. Math wizard!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

92. close to half my age, i was 16 then

am 28 now

[Bombero1956]

101. half plus 6.5 years

Me and my prom date Amarjit. We were in Junior Achievement and even though we lived 50 miles apart she came to my prom and I went to hers.

[SPKrazy]

106. what a hottie!

:hug:

[fizzgig]

107. i miss those jeans

:hug:

[SPKrazy]

108. aha!

:think:

and what would that be ;)

[Inchworm]

110. I'm the heathen second from the right

I do not belive I'm posting this.



My hat says, "If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch."

:rolf:

[fizzgig]

:hi:

[Inchworm]

112. hehe - thanks

:hi:

[BarenakedLady]

117. Cute!

:loveya:

[Inchworm]

118. So you like

the aimless hoodlum Grizzly Adams look? I may need to reconsider my desire to grow up :D

:loveya:

[BarenakedLady]

121. Bah

Grizzly Adams was much hairier.

"You look mighty fine in them jeans." :evilgrin:

Hey, didn't anyone ever tell you that smoking is bad for you? :hide:

[Inchworm]

123. Smoking hot?

yes you are :evilgrin:

But, its funny you bring it up. I have been trying to quit for nigh on 2 months. I "fasted" a week from beers and smokes. That was the best I did. Pack and a half in a week. Not got back to that point again though.. but I'm tryin.

:hi:

[Maestro]

114. A little less than half.

I think this was 1988 or perhaps '87. At the time, I had girlfriend who was really into photography. This section Dallas no longer exists as it does today. It is now the renovated West End area of Dallas.

[intheflow]

128. Wow, dig those pants!

You punk rock star, you! :headbang:

[Maestro]

130. Believe me, those were my tame ones.

I'll have to find a shot of me in my "clubbing" outfit from the same time period. :rofl:

[Call Me Wesley]

115. Minus 4 years:

[fizzgig]

119. very cute!

great pic :)

[intheflow]

129. Hey, you don't look anything like your avatar!

My whole image of you is shattered! :cry:

So what was going on in this photo, anyway? Were you an art photography class model or something? Or was that just your regular "I'm an artist, check out my cool look and check out this cool head I made" look at the time?

[swimboy]

120. At my brother's graduation from VMI

edited to add my brother--it was his day after all:

[dolo amber]

124. Give or take a couple years

[huskerlaw]

133. 1/2 + 3

I was nearly 17 in that picture. ;)

[BikeWriter]

134. My oldest Son and me in 1973.

[Xipe Totec]

135. Okay, following suit here

This one is called Suicide by laser.

[trackfan]

136. Here's a before and after from a little over 1/2 current age:

[no name no slogan]

137. Here's one of me + a band I was in

taken in September 1988 at 7th Street Entry/First Ave club in Minneapolis, MN. I had just turned 19 that August. I'm at the far left in this pic.



Incidentally, I'm playing in a band with the same drummer, and have been off and on for the past 20 years-- more than 1/2 my life.

[Shell Beau]

138. I will get as close to half my age as I can... I am 28

Me at 19.


Me at 16 (I think)


Me at 18 or so! Not really sure!

Nice little range of me at different ages in my teens!!


Oh and me at 5

[BikeWriter]

141. All of them gorgeous, of course! But then...

I am one of your biggest fans! :hi:

[evlbstrd]

139. In on this one late.

[Rhythm]

140. I've got two that are close...

1985: 1/2 -1

This one was taken a couple of weeks after i got back from an impromptu trip from NC to California...
Mom made me wear a toboggan cap on Christmas because of the haircut.

1991: 1/2 +4

I'm the one of the left, with my best road-trip pal Liz
This one was taken in Santa Cruz, as we were leaving one of many Danzig/White Zombie shows...
