February 23, 1996 (still).

February 23, 1996.  I had just gotten into pipes.

February 23, 1996.  I was 25.  Big ring cigar!  I stick to 60 ring these days. Don’t have that jacket or pants anymore.

March 30, 1995.  I was 24 at the time.  These are my first ever leather pics.  I had been into leather for about 6 years at the time; I had just gotten into cigars and uniforms.

February 18, 1999.  Classic shots still.

February 18, 1999.  Yeah, I am definitely Edge at this point.  This series was VERY popular.

May 27, 1999.

May 27, 1999.  My favorite Oompaul.  Just smoked it today!

May 27, 1999.  My first partner John took these shots in Duluth, MN.  Classic bear plaid–gotta love it.

Jun 17, 1998.  Still doing the cop thing.  Helmet still not working.

May 4, 1998.  Some guy who had a website at the time with cop pics took these.  He wasn’t the best photographer but he did give me a pair of cloth uniform breeches (still got ‘em).  I used some of these pics when I joined BLUF.  I am member 7 (well, technically at this point I believe it’s member 0007).

September 21, 1996.  My pipe collection at the time.  I had gotten my first big Boswell by then!

September 21, 1996.  The friend taking all the photos (and I mean we spent ALL day taking photos) lent me the shirt with logo.  Thanks man! Sorry I can’t remember who you are [sad face].

September 21, 1996.  So-so, I know, but I like the one of me with my back turned lighting the cigar.

September 21, 1996.  Same shoot.  Not my favorites.

September 21, 1996.  It’s not as easy to get a UPS uniform as you’d think.  My source was a group of lesbians in Ptown (long story).  Still got the uniform.  These pics were a hit too.

September 21, 1996.  Actually, we’re still in the same photo shoot.  In those days, we had to scan pictures in–imagine! I still like these shots.  They were quite popular in the day, too.

September 9, 1996.  Still have the same chaps.  Trying out the “layered” look.  Fortunately, I got better at it.
