Might be interesting to see various pics of ourselves as we age(d) over the years

You've aged very well, Alan. :)

Wouldn't mind looking like this again

How kind of you to say that Erin.  :)  I'm feeling empowered to post my latest webcam offering of me ... taken just a couple of hours ago.  8)  Here it is.  :)

Uhm ... once I get 'aroused' there's no telling what might happen. Well, I believe the female preying mantis does that to the male .... so a 'predator' ... anything COULD happen !

At least you could boast that you'd had the true experience of 'suck face' !  ;D

Ok....here are a few of me..through the years. ***(note....I've added a few more)****


Me as a baby:

Well, it has to be said ... and with all honesty .... like a 'vintage wine' ... you've improved through the years .... aged well .. just like ... just like  ???  ME !  ;D

Actually, speaking of 'wine' .. as usual ... I'm enjoying a glass or two of red around this time of the night (1am local time).

What's that old Everley Bros song? 'Dream dream dream. I could make you mine, taste your lips of wine' etc; etc;  ;D

Behave? Oh dear ... a gaffe on my part. 'Going down very nicely'. That was an innocent remark on my part. Now I realise ...  :-[



How embarrassing. Known for my lateral thinking/humor .. but I didn't catch that one ...  :-[


I think my 'boo-tay' needs a good slap !  :D ;D

Wow, I'm pretty sure I've seen the baby and the 6-year old one, as well as you at 19, but not the inbetween ones. I can easily tell them all as being you, though. Seems like you were having fun at the Halloween one masquerading as a baby! I think once you become too old to trick or treat, people put even more emphasis on dressing up, watching scary movies or just doing other things like that to make up for it (the candy is still good though, lol).

I don't think you've aged one second between 1996 and 2007. It's a little different perhaps (i.e. the glasses look, kinda shorter hair), but you're so cute like always. I'm sure when you're 50 you'll only look like a thirtysomething.


Since I posted here, I really better scan some past ones of me pretty soon now, lol.

Ya, the Halloween thing was fun....especially going with a group of friends. LOL!  Thanks for the compliments....I don't see too much of a difference either...some people's looks really change over the years...but I always have kind of looked the same. LOL! :P :D

Thank you! :)

Alright, here's a few 'cause I know I've never posted too many of me before. I'll go through later and pick out some more, but...

-This is me around 1984 or maybe early '85 on the steps of the very first house I remember living in. It was I think, one morning before I went off to preschool (I'm about 3 here):
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/old_biff/NovatoSteps85.jpg

-This is two from 1986 in Florida, when my parents and I got this Corvette and drove it all the way home, across the southern states. The first one is me with my mom in front of it, then with my dad (check out all the '80s, even late '70s cars in the parking lot! And the Ice Cream parlor signs, it's really old school looking in a good way). 8)
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/old_biff/FLCorvette.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/old_biff/FLCorvette2.jpg

-From the same timeframe, this is after the first time I beat the first NES Zelda game, with my dad congradulating me, lol.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/old_biff/BeatZelda.jpg

-The last time we were in Florida before my older grandma passed away. Me with her and mom (my dad took the pic, I also have one with it vice versa)
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/old_biff/GBea88.jpg

-Here's two of me and my parents on vacation in Hawaii on a little golf course near our hotel (the second was just me). I'm about 7 here.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/old_biff/HawaiiFamPic.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/old_biff/HawaiiGolf3.jpg

-Speaking of golf, this is my 8th birthday. At the time, we actually lived on a course, and used to go out there quite a bit. Anyway, one of my presents was an exploding golf ball that my uncle got me and I was testing it out, lol. I just realized I have a checkered flannel-esque shirt on here. This was 1989, so I was actually kinda ahead of my time, looking Nineties without even knowing it!
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/old_biff/GolfCourseBall89.jpg

-Standing in front of the TV in our living room (I forget what was on, but it might've been VH1 - big shocker, lol). I was about 11 here and I believe it was 1993.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/old_biff/Bullion1993.jpg



******************



-Skipping ahead quite a bit (I don't have any early teen ones that I know where they are - we moved around alot at that time, and didn't take as many pics, long story)...this was my yearbook picture for Junior year. I had just turned 17 here in late 1998.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/old_biff/Yearbook1998.jpg

-In 2003 when I met Bob Gale (one of the main writers of the BTTF movies - pretty nice guy with a dry sense of humor) at this Q&A screening that also had a DeLorean out front (someone else owned it) for authenticity. Here I am sitting in it, but it's not the best pic 'cause I wasn't quite ready for it, lol.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/old_biff/BobDeLorean-1.jpg

-There are two self-shots I did in 2004/2005 that didn't turn out that well. In the second one, I'm doing an Eighties rocker thing with the sunglasses - I looked like such a dork. ;D
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/old_biff/5505Night.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/old_biff/Sunglasses6105.jpg

-Summer of '05 on mini vacation, standing outside our hotel. Also a Polaroid shot, so not the best quality.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/old_biff/HotelEntrance.jpg

ahhh...what great pictures!!!! I actually copied each of them so that I could open them a bit larger (since my eyesight is not as good as it once was ;)). What a darling child you were.....and I must say...a very handsome school picture you took. ;) Keep them coming!!! :)

btw...I've added a few more pictures to my original ones. :)

Nice updates ! ^

Here's one of me very young... even I don't know my age here. Think it's my first ever .... and for that matter ONLY school pic. They're not big on that over in the UK ... or at least, weren't 'in my day' (an expression you use when you're getting old / ARE old !  :( :\'( ) .

You're sweet, I'm so glad you liked them. :) I'll be honest, one reason it took me so long to put anything up is because I was kinda worried that my early/kid ones (1993 and before) might be compared with my present day/fairly recent look (1998+) and people would prefer those over how I look now.

See, people always used to make comments about how cute I was up until about 11 or 12, but not in a "boyfriendish/good looking guy" way, in a "little boy" way. There were times I took it as a compliment. Like if it was some girl or younger woman that I thought was cute, lol. But I equally sometimes got annoyed with it, for that very same reason. I remembered thinking I couldn't wait to be older, just so it could happen in a different context. Once I got into Junior High it kinda did, and even though I never knew how to respond to it half the time, I was like "whoa this is cool. Not like it was 5, even 3 years ago".

Not to say it hasn't happened since late high school and up, it has, but not quite as widespread as it did back then. Because of that, there've been times that I worried I wasn't as cute as I used to be - and I just really hope I am, lol.



I liked your modified pics too. Speaking of darling, yours are the same way. You always have been, but I think you've just gotten cuter with the years. ;)

Yeah, mid-late '80s Brandy and Vaughn from right now do look alike. I mean really similar. If someone didn't know it was from different years, they could even pass as twins (which is also a compliment for both of them).

Oh, and yes, Brandy and Vaughn look SO much alike, it's rather scary!!!! ;D

^ Oh yeah, I'd be happy to. I'll also put up some of my uncle and my other grandma, or my cousins at some point. My parents still pretty much look the same today, although my dad has mostly white hair. By this point I don't even need to say it, but you're so sweet. :)

^YAY!!! I would love to see them. And...right back at ya kiddo! ;)

keep em coming, Alan. I enjoy seeing them! :)

I'm gonna be like Alan...and post some more pics...I'm bored...so why the heck not? :D

^ Hey, cool some authentic '80s pictures (and with all due respect, your dad looked like a singer songwriter with that facial hair and thick beard around 1979!). ;D I love the Halloween ones with you and Brandy - I guess alot of these were largely taken before Beth was born, or was she just not in the later ones?

You're cool with long hair btw, although not as cute as you are today, of course! :)

ya, he does look pretty groovy, huh? LOL! He looks about the same as he does in the 2000 picture...yet, he colors his hair and beard black again.

Thanks for the compliement...ya, I would have to agree..I like how I look today, better than 2000 (my hair looks better shorter, etc). :)

Yeah something about that thick dark goatee just screams Michael McDonald (and people like him), but it's cool and I'm sure lots of people looked like that at the time. In fact, one way for me to date the time is that the amount of big facial hair decreases the further into the '80s you get. :D

Totally agree. Seven years ago you looked probably more like Julia Louis Dreyfus or Ricki than you do now. I'm not sure who to compare you to now, but honestly you're really in a class by yourself with as cute/gorgeous as you are. :)

Patty..I just realized something. In that second picture (of you in red)...you look a lot like that adorable little girl on the TV show, "Medium".

Take a look:

http://www.marialark.com/page5.html

ah cool...I was probably about the same age (in that picture) as she is now.  I see the resemblence, I just never noticed until you said something.  ;D

She's definately more precosious then I was at that age.  Although I wasn't nearly as shy then as I am now.  Go figure!

So are you going to, or what?

Here is a shot from our Wedding:

Live Oak, CA.- May 25, 2002
SCA Event: May Coronet

Oh how nice you both look!  and happy.  :)  You had a ren fest wedding?  Cool.

Oh how nice you both look!  and happy.   :)  You had a ren fest wedding?  Cool.

Thank you for the compliment, Patty.

-Not "Ren-Fest". SCAvian.

The difference between Ren-Faires and the SCA is this:

Ren-Faire: You pay to watch actors have all the fun.
The SCA: You pay to camp, and YOU get to have the fun, learn the crafts, get into costumes, etc.
Which is better? The SCA, natch!

Melissa & her Matron Of Honor made our Wedding Garb.
It still hangs in our closet.

I scanned up some pics of myself.

My second birthday in 1988 That's me with all my cousins. I'm the one in the pink and white striped shirt with Bugs Bunny on it in the foreground.:

Cutest ever!  :)

Alright, here's a few 'cause I know I've never posted too many of me before. I'll go through later and pick out some more, but...

-This is me around 1984 or maybe early '85 on the steps of the very first house I remember living in. It was I think, one morning before I went off to preschool (I'm about 3 here):
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/old_biff/NovatoSteps85.jpg

-This is two from 1986 in Florida, when my parents and I got this Corvette and drove it all the way home, across the southern states. The first one is me with my mom in front of it, then with my dad (check out all the '80s, even late '70s cars in the parking lot! And the Ice Cream parlor signs, it's really old school looking in a good way). 8)
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/old_biff/FLCorvette.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/old_biff/FLCorvette2.jpg

-From the same timeframe, this is after the first time I beat the first NES Zelda game, with my dad congradulating me, lol.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/old_biff/BeatZelda.jpg

-The last time we were in Florida before my older grandma passed away. Me with her and mom (my dad took the pic, I also have one with it vice versa)
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/old_biff/GBea88.jpg

-Here's two of me and my parents on vacation in Hawaii on a little golf course near our hotel (the second was just me). I'm about 7 here.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/old_biff/HawaiiFamPic.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/old_biff/HawaiiGolf3.jpg

-Speaking of golf, this is my 8th birthday. At the time, we actually lived on a course, and used to go out there quite a bit. Anyway, one of my presents was an exploding golf ball that my uncle got me and I was testing it out, lol. I just realized I have a checkered flannel-esque shirt on here. This was 1989, so I was actually kinda ahead of my time, looking Nineties without even knowing it!
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/old_biff/GolfCourseBall89.jpg

-Standing in front of the TV in our living room (I forget what was on, but it might've been VH1 - big shocker, lol). I was about 11 here and I believe it was 1993.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/old_biff/Bullion1993.jpg



******************



-Skipping ahead quite a bit (I don't have any early teen ones that I know where they are - we moved around alot at that time, and didn't take as many pics, long story)...this was my yearbook picture for Junior year. I had just turned 17 here in late 1998.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/old_biff/Yearbook1998.jpg

-In 2003 when I met Bob Gale (one of the main writers of the BTTF movies - pretty nice guy with a dry sense of humor) at this Q&A screening that also had a DeLorean out front (someone else owned it) for authenticity. Here I am sitting in it, but it's not the best pic 'cause I wasn't quite ready for it, lol.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/old_biff/BobDeLorean-1.jpg

-There are two self-shots I did in 2004/2005 that didn't turn out that well. In the second one, I'm doing an Eighties rocker thing with the sunglasses - I looked like such a dork. ;D
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/old_biff/5505Night.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/old_biff/Sunglasses6105.jpg

-Summer of '05 on mini vacation, standing outside our hotel. Also a Polaroid shot, so not the best quality.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y203/old_biff/HotelEntrance.jpg


Lots of great pics, Marty!! Thanks for sharing. And you look just as strapping from day 1.

^ Aww thanks Kristen (I didn't notice this thread was bumped 'till now). :) I almost feel like I just posted a visual biography, but that's cool, lol.

^ Hippy Mr. Mister ... circa 1978. At about the peak of its length. I got it shortened a fair bit a few months later ... and that may have helped in my getting a nice encounter (of the 4thkind ?)  with a lady on a visit to Des Plaines a few months later ...  (note the fancy 'handlebar' type moustache ! )   :D













http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/7039/nov0137hv9.jpg

At the height of my looks (?) ...aged 34,  In a bar in Des Plaines, near Chicago, approx. Christmas 1988. I had just met that girl there. We got it on a few days (maybe a week or so ?) later ...

With my favourite budgie ever ... 'Chirpy'. He lasted maybe 12 years (?). He finally had a stroke ... was paralyzed ... and I sadly had to take him to a vet and have him 'put to sleep'.

I gave him a kiss before leaving ... and told him I loved him.  :\'( :\'( :\'(

Mr. Mister in 'funny hat' .. with Mr. Mum ...at my graduation in 1990 ... holding Bachelor of Arts degree. I was a 'mature age student'. Most of the student's were roughly half my age .. although one told me she was freaked out to discover that I was not her age ...  :o  ;D



















http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/9503/nov0147tr8.jpg
^ competing in the 'City to Surf' ... 1984. I was the first finisher in my company (not the event) ... and collected a trophy for the effort. That effort left me doing dry retches when I finally stopped .... as I'd given it everything I had ... and the kitchen sink.











http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/7002/nov0148dt4.jpg

^ More of that same pic. 55 minutes and 45 seconds was my time, for a 9 mile run (approx.) over quite hilly / variable terrain through the streets of Sydney. I'd only gotten into regular jogging the year before, at the age of 29. The run is held annualy in August ... and several people over the years have had fatal heart attacks from excessive efforts ....






















http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/525/nov0141vw6.jpg
^ competing in the marathon, 1984. I'm the guy at the rear. I'd never run the distance (26 miles ! )  till the day. I was pacing myself ... not sure how I'd go. It ended inside a stadium, having been through the streets of Sydney up until that point, going over the Sydney Harbour Bridge, past the Opera House. As it turned out, I had a fair bit of gas left in my tank, and ended up sprinting the last 200 yards ... very nearly catching those guys !

http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/2990/nov0144xo6.jpg
^ At a holiday camp ('Butlins' ... probably Bognor Regis). I'm on the right, looking at my beautiful mother with admiration / love. I think I told my dad (opposite, with my brother) .. that I wanted to marry her when I grew up ! :-[  Of course .. I was very innocent in those days ...  and had no idea what marriage might involve !  :D ;D




What a wonderful life!

What a wonderful life!


Thank you . That's a nice thing to say. However .... I'd have to say that whilst it HAS had it's moments ...... I have ultimately ..... failed spectacularly .... and ..... it has certainly not worked out the way a younger version of me might have hoped.  Since I've never had a clear sense of direction / focus, or purpose ...... and am somewhat like a rudderless ship at sea .... I guess it's not entirely surprising !

I would be quite happy to have my life as a 'groundhog day' where I'm stuck back in  the years 1974 to 1976 .... and just reliving those 2 to 3 years forever ..... never reaching the age of 25 .... if only that were possible ....

You did not have a portrait of youreslf in the attic back then

Look again .... it feature in my current avatar. Says the year '76, I think. That pic probably was featured earlier in the thread you linked to ....

The pic is a student one of me ..... I was doing electronics courses at evening classes to try to beef up my standing as the company's electrical incoming electronics component's inspector .

great pics Al, I don't remember seeing these. I like the long hair look, very 70's ish  and what a fine babe you have there. were you in Hawaii because it looks like you got lei'd. probably lots of good memories here.

Hey ! .... and thanks for your comments too, Mike.

However .... I just guessed you'd seen those pics some time back ... just never said anything (?)

Well, my hair will NEVER be THAT long again ... although it is long  now .... for my age (compared to my peers).

I used to fancy myself as looking like Jesus might have .... in those days, I still clung to a slight religious outlook ... and I wanted people to perceive me as kind, gentle .... wise ..... something like that (?)

I had the full beard at one stage .... to go with the look (Jesus look).

You said something about severed brain cells in another thread .... well, the descriptions below the pics ... seem to answer your questions (?)

Yes, her name was Jayne .... a nurse .....

She was kind enough to help cement 'Anglo-American' relatonships !  ;D

Hopefully, her current husband (who ever he may be) ..... doesn't subscribe to this site !  ;D

I can't believe my hair was so big & poofy, somewhat Stamos like and very black, no gray like I have now & wearing my favorite concert tee shirt I got when I saw Boston.  this is probably in 1994-95  isn't she the cutest  :)

Top pic Mike !  8)  (Oh .... and thanks for that latest pic ..... another one for my locker .... no doubt to emerge transformed at some future date ?  :P  :D ).

You say you don't have a scanner ..... that's why you've held back on more pics ? I wonder how you got that one up here then ?

I DO have an 'All in one' printer/ scanner/ photocopier machine ...... fact is .... I've probably had it a month or more now .... AND/ BUT have yet to fire it up !  :-[

How I got MY pics here .... was to simply place the photos in front of my very cheap digital webcam camera ......  adjust the focus, then snap the pic. After that, simply a matter of uploading to imageshack. They may be slightly  grainy / not the greatest quality .... but good enough !  :)

Thanks.  I'll have current ones up soon.

wow! That's a lot of pictures! That's a shame that some of them were damaged. We have a lot of family photos that were not kept up with/lost/etc...so I know how that goes.

The good thing is that most of the damage is around the edges so the people in the pictures are usually left in tact, so they are still fully useful thankfully. I thought I better scan em in now before they suffer more damage. Now they must be organized into folders!  ;D
