Trevor, this is your fault.

[walterick]

I awoke, not thinking about taking a self portrait.

I ate breakfast - still nary a thought about self portraits.

Then I turned on the computer..

Let this be a lesson to you:

NEVER remind a self-portraitist that they haven't taken a self portrait in a while.

There, now it's all your fault.

Here's a shot my friend took of me, sporting her pink backpack out hiking. We both laughed at the humor of it and knew we had to photograph me "looking noble" with this pink backpack strapped to my back

We ran into a couple of guys that I think wanted to kick my @ss!

Anyway, here for your amusement:
Me sporting my "pink" side.

Hey, that third one is pretty good.

I guess I'll start being more careful about what I say Btw, you've got a nice pink sack there.

[walterick]

Hey, thanks! I can't say I was sad to give it back.

Yes, you have to be careful around us narcicists. Speed & Natalie are also prone to such behaviour, I hear.

Anyways, thanks for the inspiration.

HUH....whats with the vain self portraits of your own figure??

Gave me the sort of: "What the hell?" response

[walterick]

"vain self portraits of your own figure??"

Yeah, that's about the ghist of it

Sorry if it comes off as rude. My hope is it's within the confines of what's "normal" up here on PR.com. There was an "abstract body" thread a few months ago, I guess we can always consider it a late addition to that

Thanks,
Rick

On the other note, I do wish I had a body with your tone
I have been slowly drifting to flab
...and my 1-pack of course

[walterick]

Ah... the miracle of good lighting...

Believe you me these were chosen for their "flattering" qualities. There are many more that made me look... um... like a walrus?

[natatbeach]

Nice pics...that pink back pack one especially..it flatters...quite a few of your features butt (freudian slip) I digress ...I like the very last one...good balance and light.

It is disconcerting to find out that ones six pack abs have somehow become a kegger.

"We ran into a couple of guys that I think wanted to kick my @ss!"

YES, the EARTH TONE LOOK(I am an earth tone guy ) id RUINED by that SWEET looking pack.

You were SCARING nature(amoung others) with that sack.

btw.... nice tone bro !

My SIX PACK of my younger years has since been bagged for transport ;) STILL there, but disguised

Pink is NOT you color!!!

Sorry to be so brutal, but someone had to do it.

[Photo-John]

You're in the wrong neighborhood if you're interested in developing and showing your "pink" side. But you could sport that pink backpack all day long in your spiritual home - Berkeley. No one would look twice.

[walterick]

How true. They'd probably throw me in the parade!

[walterick]

Well, if it had to be said, I'd rather it be you than anyone else Speedo.

- sobbing -

[walterick]

I'll never have a six pack. I have scar tissue in my abdomen that prevents me from getting "ripped." However, I get a mean looking set of obliques

Yes, Richmond is definitely the wrong neighborhood to be walking around with a pink backpack on. Glad we made it out alive.

Is that a subtle calling for me to post another shot of my butt?

(cause you know I will )

[walterick]

I'm gaining hair on my back...

... losing it on my head (Rogaine works miracles by the way, fellas)

I no longer want sex 24 hours a day.

Did I just say that?

I actually have a cuttoff age for the first time in my life for how young I am willling to date.

I no longer want to spend the rest of my life traveling around the States in a pickup truck.

Sometimes I want to be a daddy.

Did I just say THAT?!

BUT! Luckily I'm not losing any muscle tone due largely to my job as a carpenter.

As I ween myself off this line of work and get further into grad school and counseling I imagine it will go to slop however.

Ah, I'm finally growing old

Ain't so bad.

ABSOLUTELY...NOT


cute as Paul and speed might think it may be
just pointing out that you have tendency to somehow squeeze it into a lot of your shots...

;)

[paulnj]

Hey.... a joke is a joke, but Paul doesn't like man butt.... Speedo on the other hand?????

The human body doesn't scare me one bit(in any form or [trans] gender )

Life is too short to be having hang ups or to be ashamed of one's body IMHO

words of wisdom ? ;)

[paulnj]

WELL SAID GENE!!!!!! KEEP ON KEEPIN ON

"You're just not gettin' enough" HAHAHA
