A few years ago I scanned about 50 family photo albums and about 20 slide trays into the computer. All of those pictures were fairly normal. They covered the 1800s through until about they year 2000. These were the growing up years of the four girls (oldest) and the younger years of my four brothers. It was also before digital cameras.
Now, I've secured a whole slew of pictures from my parent's computers that were taken over the last 9-10 years. I've been uploading them to Picasa so we can share all our photographs.
Interesting stuff. Lots of pictures of trips, of relatives, of flowers, of house remodeling and all of my brothers taking turns posing for the camera. Yes, that's right. We always think women are spending all the time in front of the mirror, but I'm fairly sure that I have evidence that this is not so. There are hundreds of pictures of boys flexing their muscles, boys posing in the mirror sucking in their cheeks to make their cheekbones look more defined and hundreds of pictures of partial haircuts and beard growth/beard shavings. To me they are basically all one in the same. We might as well save 5-6 of the pictures and that covers them all. But, alas, each has significant meaning that only people who know will know.
Don't believe me? Proof below:
Like I said - hundreds of these throughout all of the digital folders.
I mean, how else would we know that Brett used TWO shavers to get his head ready for a swim meet?
Very important historical documentation.

Quite a hilarious but true post! I'm the runt of the bunch, and I remember taking my first muscle pictures when I was 12 or 13 years old. Good times... at least I'm not as scrawny now, hahaha!
Well, I found these in one of the last folders I was uploading. Believe me, there are hundreds more. I have an entire album in Picasa filling up with them. So, perhaps I will show some before and afters.
