new thread
Hey I just felt inspired tonight to post an old pic of myself as that seems to be the trend as of late.This one was a standard photo I had digitalized at a photo store back in 1998 because at the time I wanted to e mail a pic of myself to someone and I had no scanner which I still don't have.LOL. Anyway with new years approaching at a blistering pace towards 2008 lets just say this is my 10 year backdate!LOL. Obviously you can see how much shorter my hair was back them and it was around that time I started thinking of going with ultra longhair:)Oh well enough blabbing and he is the pic.Let me know what you think.Mark
Ahh vintage Hairball, sounds like a fine wine! :)
You are definitely one of the lifelong longhairs doing it for several decades! You aren't all that different looking in this picture from now, like me being in that long period of time where you don't really change all that much. To find a short hair picture of you you would be so young that there would be no easy way to see what difference the long hair hair alone makes, like in my pictures that were taken a bit before 1998. My face looked just the same from then to now so you could see what difference the hair makes. If you can dig up some more old pics post them they are always interesting to see. Some time I should get a scanner but I can never justify the need lol
Good picture Mark, you look happy with your truck!
Take care my friend :)
Hi Chris I'm honored you are the first to respond!LOL. Well I agree that my appearance has not changed hardly at all in those 10 long years other than the length of my hair.I even still own that truck and still have that shirt and shorts as well:) Yea with all the vintage pics showing up I kind of wanted to join the bandwagon. I do have some older pics but the are not yet digital so I think over the long weekend I will go to a Kinkos like you suggested and have that done.You'll love the pic of me in 1989 with my permed hairdo!LOL. Just looking at that one makes me laugh.As for my shorthaired pic that will take me back to 1982 so stay tuned!Mark
Your hair looks lovely in that old photo Mark. Even then you had good length. You have had long hair for a very long time. I started growing mine in 1992.
Scott
Hey Scott thanks for your input.Its kind of funny to think how long I have had longhair.Probably about half my life by now as my last short hair days were around two years out of high school.I'm even amazed that I never cut is short from that point on so I guess you can say I am a natural born longhair:)Its been a great run so far and I can honestly say I see no end in sight!Mark
Mark, Great shorter? hair and long legs. Who needs the truck. Looks like you could run a marathon.
peace, jonalbear
Hi JB thank you for your comments.Well I know by most standards that would be considered quite long hair but since I was able to improve on that I guess for me its short looking back at it now.Unfortunately I haven't ran any marathons but can say I'm ready should I feel the urge to do one:) Catch you again on this great board.Mark
Wow, what a classic image, I love seeing pictures from particular eras, the styles of dress, vehicles, great stuff. Your hair looked excellent even at a shorter length. Thanks for sharing this picture with us Mark.
Take care, Dave
Hey Dave!
Yea I guess after 10 yrs. it qualifies as classic.LOL.The funny thing is that I still have that truck and clothes I was wearing that day. Well maybe less the t shirt as I think that got worn out.I'm sure you'll love my upcomming classics I'll post once I get them digitalized.Hopefully in the next few days.Thanks for your input Dave as I have always admired your wild and crazy hair:) Mark
Hi Mark,
Your hair looks awesome in this photo from the days gone by, and it continues to look fabulous today. You are a very well established longhair, and even back in 1998 your hair is longer than my current length. It would be a dream of mine to have hair even close to your length some day.
I would also like to add that it has been a pleasure getting to know you on the hyperboard, and I am looking forward to meeting you in 2009.
Take care,
David
Hi David,
Thank you for the kind comments.As I looked back at all my old longhair photos its fun to see how my hair has changed over the years.Mostly just got longer and longer!LOL.The funny one was when I had my hair permed in 1989 which will be one of those I'll post once its digital.Well David you have made tremendous hair progress yourself especially since you found this board so I'm sure you future hair growth will be awesome.Also it will be a pleasure to meet you once you begin you road trip in 2009.How I'd love to take a trip like that.Take care my friend.Mark
I could have never told that this was a backdate and your long hair of that many years ago looks just fabulous. And back then and even now that IS still quite long hair! Almost reminds me of the 70's except your mane looks to have been better cared for than the average.
Hi Justin
Thanks for your observations about the condition of my hair back then.I always tried to take good care of it as it meant a lot to me not just something you have and forget about.I think you'll like my next set once I get them ready to post.Mark
As a longhair stuck in a short hair vortex in the mid 90's I would have been inspired by you to pull myself away from the stylist's grip! Long hair forever!
Bruce
Hi Bruce and great hair you have today which is all that matters anyway:)So what if your hair was short then as you came to your senses and finally saw the light!Mark
Hi Mark. Great picture and great hair. You are truly a devoted longhair. I look forward to seeing your longhair picture in 2017.
Del
Hey there Del where the heck have you been???LOL Anyway I don't even want to think of 2017 yet!Yikes.However all I can say it when that day arrives I hope my hair is at least to my knees but regardless it will be long:) Mark
Hey Mark, If you wouldn't have mentioned that this picture was taken in 1998 I wouldn't have even noticed. Your hair was already long when that, seems like you've had it long for a long time. The only minor difference I noticed was your physique. You seem a bit thicker and your muscles seem to have more mass. Now a days you seem more defined and ripped. Cool picture Mark, Keep em' commin'.
Hi there Chris!
Thanks for your comments and I do agree that I haven't changed all that much in that 10 yr. span.However you are right about my physique as I lost around 10 to 15 lbs. since it was taken as I have been very loyal to the gym. Even though I may be more defined I know I'm probably underweight for my height but I'm happy with how I look and I'm not really looking to be Mr.Atlas anyway. Anyway get ready for the next installment of "Hair from the Past" as I'm ready to submit my next backdate!LOL.Take care my friend and have a great Thanksgiving:)Mark
hey
Mark
Im slim build to I get told i could do with a good meal inside of me lol but i fail to put weight on no matter what i eat looks like your of jogging in the picture fancy running the London Marathon next year ??? Hair looks good to needs tie back for running though especially in windy weather .
Axel
Hi Axel hope alls been well with you.You are the second person who brought up running in a marathon!LOL. Well I do like to exercise and stay in shape as I never really got into running that much.For outdoor activity I like to ride my mountain bike for hours!Been a bit delinquent this past year but I do enjoy riding.As for my build I am quite thin as I have a hard time finding jeans that fit me in my waist size and with my long leg length. They are out there but you really have to look a bit.Thanks for you comments my friend:)Mark
Like wise its great to have awesome friends here such as yourself
Axel
