So, I’m sick today, and I’ve been meaning to look through some of my old photos from back in the day… when digital photography wasn’t as prevalent and I didn’t upload everything immediately to my flickr. Its hilarious/scary/entertaining to go back and see how I’ve changed in the photos (as well as some of the friends who are in them!) without further ado… here’s some OLDIES:

Yeah. That’s me and my brother with members from Skillet. I feel like this was on their ‘Ardent Worship’ tour… but I saw them more than several times (eep!) so I can’t say for sure. Weird to think they’re still around and fairly popular. I haven’t listened to them really since ‘Alien Youth’ (of which, I was not a fan)

These photos are not related… the ones on the left are from a year at summer camp with my youth group, I’m guessing I’m about 16 or 17. Me and Megan (the girl in the top photo & bottom photo with me) are still friends and I had the honor of shooting her wedding last year!
And yes. I have no hair. It was actually a TON of fun having short hair… but, I sort of looked like a boy if I didn’t put make-up on. Not really a fan of that… and I’m too lazy to always apply make-up, so it probably won’t ever happen again…The photo on the right is taken the first time I left the country, and on the first missions trip I ever was part of… those were our armed guards. Yep.

These are just randoms from different years… the top photo is a group of us and our wonderful friends Josh&Sabrina who were moving away that year….and the second photo are three of my best friends from highschool/early college years: Megan, Becca & Nathan
Then was the year at summer camp everyone dyed their hair black. (seriously though, I was the first… just sayin.)….

Here is my sister the year SHE chopped all her hair off… and me at the height of my ‘emo’ years. I even had on a home-made t-shirt that had melancholy Death Cab for Cutie lyrics ironed on.
This was also my first year as a ‘leader’ at summer camp instead of a student…. seriously, way more fun as I didn’t have to participate in the mandatory sports competitions! (I was a “score-keeper” which meant I jotted down numbers at the end of games and had time to snap lots of photos)


There I am, hard at work. And yes. I am wearing a jacket in July on the sports field. It mystified many. But I didn’t get sunburnt, so, whatever… next up, photos from my second missions trip to Guatemala in 2003
