So it's probably been done before, but it's always fun to do! Take a picture from a while ago (doesn't really matter how long I guess, a couple years) and take a picture from you now and viola! Comparison between you then and now

I really hated old me I was very angst and wounds do not heal blah blah blah.

Anyhow. 14 to 17

Cartilage Head · « **Reply #1 on:** 15 Aug 2008, 14:46 »

Me at 14 or 15

Me at 16

Now (18, though this picture was taken just before my birthday)

I think I made some pretty alright changes, even though I don't look any older.. just better.

StMonkey · « **Reply #2 on:** 15 Aug 2008, 14:46 »

The most marked improvement is I got a bit better at smiling it seems.

ledhendrix · « **Reply #3 on:** 15 Aug 2008, 14:55 »

Then 14 or 15 I think

Now 18 at belladrum.

Not much has really changed. I have a bit more facial hair, don't skate and drink more.

Oli · « **Reply #4 on:** 15 Aug 2008, 14:58 »

This is me when I was I don't-know-how-old, probably 14 or 15 maybe.

And this is me being 17 on holiday this July.

The beard and such is because shaving is a real hassle while camping.

BlakeJustBlake · « **Reply #5 on:** 15 Aug 2008, 15:01 »

13 or 14 or or something like that.

Most recent picture of me

I tried finding an even older picture of me from whenever I was like 12 and made a Skateboard Team web site, but I guess Google stopped indexing it or angelfire finally deleted it.

In order to most accurately portray me, I have tried to recreate the same picture, with the same crappy webcam.

Man, I am so ready for this. Last time we had this thread I missed it by a couple days, but now I have a photo album. Pictures are a little big, but I don't care.

Here is me as a little baby!

And as a cute little toddler at my 3rd birthday (this is one of my favorite pictures of myself).

Moving forward a bit, age 9 at a local park.

Aaaand my most awkward stage. This picture is laughable.

Just a few years ago, still in high school.

And me now! Still awkward, but this time with better hair and clothing!

Boy that was a trip down memory lane. I have been doing this 'alternative' thing for a long time now it seems.

jodizzle · « **Reply #19 on:** 15 Aug 2008, 18:31 »

Oh, I should have resized those I guess? I just went on a clicking spree through my photobucket, so i didn't know they would be so huge! Sorry guys, I am too lazy to fix it now. WHATS DONE IS DONE.

Also jodie at 17 has bad hair and glasses.

This thread is great!
What is making me feel old is that I remember most of everyone's teenage photos from when they used them in Photo Threads.

Finished highschool

2003ish

Mid 2005?

Mid 2006

Last month

negative creep · « **Reply #23 on:** 15 Aug 2008, 19:52 »

18! And angry.

20! And purple. Also drunk.

21! a few weeks ago, still drunk. I seem to the only person who's hair is getting less cool as i grow older.

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #25 on:** 15 Aug 2008, 21:01 »

Here I am, very small (maybe 2?) and dressed as a tiny gay sailor.

Here I am again, I think about 15.

Last day of highschool, I would have been 18 here

Beginning of 2006, I think I would have been 19 here.

20 years old

Significantly more recent

And finally, a taste of things to come!

allison · « **Reply #26 on:** 15 Aug 2008, 21:09 »

When I was maybe 2 or 3? So either '92 or '93.

Who knows. I think I was 7 or 8.

2002. My rebellious phase was over quickly, thank God, and mostly amounted to me listening to punk rock and dying my hair red.

2005. Purple hair and a guitar necklace is as hardcore as I get, really.

And this was taken a few weeks ago.

Cartilage Head · « **Reply #27 on:** 15 Aug 2008, 21:22 »

Chuck, when you were 19 you looked like a Backstreet Boy.

jodizzle · « **Reply #28 on:** 15 Aug 2008, 21:42 »

Jimmy, I love your tiny gay sailor outfit. Also, when you are old you look Mexican.

RobbieOC · « **Reply #29 on:** 15 Aug 2008, 22:21 »

Me at like, 10 or something.

This must have been me at like, 13.

Like, 2003ish

This is probably in like, 2006 or something.

Me a few weeks ago at a wedding, getting jiggy wit' it.

celticgeek · « **Reply #30 on:** 15 Aug 2008, 22:33 »

Me, in 1941

Me, in 1958

Me, in 2006

No real change, I'm just taller and hairier.

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #31 on:** 15 Aug 2008, 22:39 »

Hm, this will require some digging and a trip to the library.

celticgeek · « **Reply #32 on:** 15 Aug 2008, 22:40 »

It's a great shirt. I am the husband of a (retired) librarian and the father of a (non-retired) librarian, so it fits well. I also bought one for my son-in-law, who is married to the (non-retired) librarian, and he likes it, too.

Plus it was a lot of fun to wear when I was doing FOSS library system installations.

Ladybug · « **Reply #33 on:** 16 Aug 2008, 02:20 »

Me at about, hm, maybe 5? I have no idea. With a bad fringe, but nice hat.

At 15, looking all uncomfortable because the photographer made me do weird things that wasn't very comfortable or "me":

On May 17th this year, at 21:

Basically I peaked at around 15-16, before I gained weight. And the weight (and length of hair) is pretty much the only thing that has changed since I was about 13, which is sort of sad :p

Dominic, you probably get this a lot but in the last photo you look uncannily like John Lennon when he had short hair post-Beatles.

I have actually never heard that since i cut my hair. When i was 16, though, with long brown hair and round glasses, well, a certain group of people outright refused to refer to me in any way other than "John". I think that is because the stereotypical image most people have of John Lennon is either that of the early '60s or that of him with very long hair.

Unfortunatly I don't have a picture from that period.

Durin · « **Reply #36 on:** 16 Aug 2008, 09:12 »

I used to have a picture of me in like 6th grade. I also have some pics from earlier but I can't scan them.

Anyhoo

8th grade around summer or so. So that dates this mid 2006. I'm fourteen here

Early 9th grade. Late 2006. Fourteen still.

Summer of 10th when I visited Spain. Sixteen here.

At the end of sixth form - 18 years old? 1997, anyway. This is officially the worst photo of me, ever:

The wierd part is that I had a girlfriend then.

About five years ago, with ill-advised facial hair and bleaching:

and a few weeks ago:

Here is me in February 2002, I would have been 11, I believe.

Here is me in June 2008, a day or two after my 17th birthday.

edit: I just realised that the first photo is of the year I started high school. Fucking hell I remember thinking I was really old then, and I looked like that?!

I liked that look, although (and you can't tell from that photo) the facial hair was really terrible. My hair is headed back in that direction, though; maybe I'll bleach it again.

Leinad · « **Reply #46 on:** 16 Aug 2008, 14:15 »

Thank God, no offense about your current do, but it is not NEARLY as flattering as the other one. You look good with bleached hair.
