this is me, then | the collection

In honor of my 30th birthday, I published a picture from each year of my life to the blog during the first month of 2005. Amazingly, I was able find a picture for every year but 1984, 1992 and 1994. Now that I’ve completed the project, here are the pictures:

1975 - newborn
1976 - hair!
1977 - young Newt Gingrich
1978 - clothes dryer
1979 - seriously rocking

1980 - bored
1981 - party
1982 - Easter
1983 - ironically stylish
1984
1985 - forever the stud!
1986 - orange
1987 - fat gut
1988 - madras!
1989 - all-vertical

1990 - stripes
1991 - bad contrast
1992
1993 - prop suit
1994
1995 - rather stunning
1996 - piƱata
1997 - very 'chill'
1998 - college

  1. LOL! What a great retrospective. It's always good to share unflattering photos and poke fun at the way we once looked.

  2. Happy Birthday Steve! You don't look a day past 20... well, in the 1995 picture anyways. ;)

  3. Tim: Very funny! :-)

    I really don't even feel 30 either. It's just a number right now. Hope that holds up! LOL

    Mitch: Glad you liked the pictures. You had some good ones on your site, too! We both were rocking the 'fros there for a while. hehe

    Before I scanned those photos, I hadn't looked at some of them in years! I was catching up on me, too. LOL

  4. I soooo remember when those laser-stripes were popular...every kid at school begged their mom and dad to shell out the few extra bucks to get the sweet neon laser beams in place of the classic blue school-photo background! Ah...the nostalgia!

    PS: Happy Birthday again!

    Carrie =)

  5. LOL. Our lasers were free, Carrie. And don't I look thrilled to be surrounded by them? :-)

    Thanks again!
