A question my parents have asked me many times when they see a picture of themselves. I first recall this happening when I was either in 8th or 9th grade and we had pictures done for the church directory. I thought the picture was fine, but my dad kept going on and on about how OLD he looked in the picture...and alas the question, "Do I really look this old?" Now, at 14, my reply was, "Well, you look like that all the time." As I've grown older I realize this is an inappropriate response. "The lighting was bad, the photographer was an idiot, that color washes you out," are much more acceptable.
However, this got me thinking. I look at myself in the mirror each day, as do most people I'm assuming, and we never see the aging process on us as a whole. Not until we cannot fit into our "skinny" jeans, a flight of stairs turns into a nightmare, and you can tell when cold weather is coming, do we ask, "When the hell did I get old?"
I've very curious at pin-pointing when I begin to age, as least when my face begins to, so I've decided to take a photograph of my face everyday. Like I said, looking at these now I will not be able to see a difference, I'm not going to wake up one day and say, "Wow, I really aged yesterday!" It will however, be kind of interesting to see when "it" begins happening.
So...I'm putting it all out on the line...with make-up, with out make-up, adult acne, crows feet and things that I cannot even imagine....here we go!
