Beast
Obviously this Personal Photo Project was completed well before I trimmed down and became a dirty naked-face. I kind of miss the guy in this picture.
Jay actually took the original image. Then I did some photo stuff and made a new image. Photoshop was not used in the construction of this image.

Distinguished?
Jill did say that I looked very wise and distinguished in the second picture. I have to confess that my wisdom is almost legendary. It kind of walks hand and hand with my modesty, which is also legendary.
The second photo actually reminds me a lot of some of the photos of Lincoln. Very sagacious.
I got an email response about this picture. That person was also reminded of a Civil War picture. To quote them:
“This here was Christopher Bennett, grizzled northern supporter that lost both arms, and part of one leg; in unnecessary amputations.”
