Me at 40

Well, I have reluctantly had a couple of shots taken of me, which I loathe doing. But apparently, there many who believe the avatar shot of me is from like 10 years ago. I dunno. While I’m not entirely pleased with any photo of me, I’d like to think I’m aging well. But who knows? It’s highly subjective and I’m my own worst critic.

So, here I am— twice! Just be kind.

BTW, I don’t really care for how I look in the left shot. But I like the way my left calf (that’s your right) looks. Having not had calves for most of my life, I’m liking it these days. The rest of me looks bloated though. I won’t eat for a week and then retake it. ;) Or maybe not.

    It’s BUFF, not BLOATED, gaaaaaa!! I love the one of you leaning the best, but I also love the rugged one with the Sahara in the background.

    You are such an adventurous fellow, ya know? ;)

    You wear 40 well! Welcome to the club. But really, you should have posted your Halloween pic . . . but the girls above are right – you don’t look bloated in the slightest. Sheez.

    stealth: LOL! My own little Sahara, huh? Thanks for the compliment.

    EE: Thanks, Hon! I look good for 50? ;) I appreciate it. And I suppose it matters more to me what you think.

    Bunny: Thanks for the welcome! But, nope. The halloween pic is off limits ;) No one should be subject to the torture of looking at them. But it was a ton of fun making them.

    I wonder if I would’ve even noticed your calf if you hadn’t pointed it out….

    And I didn’t know guys get bloated, lol. Funny….

    Either one is good to me, although the one on my right is maybe too shadowy.

    I wonder if you’ve already chosen…………

    Robin: I definitely haven’t chosen. I’m still examining shots. I may just have to whip the old tripod and remote and start shooting. ;)
