Yes, but if I use the axe, nobody can tell that it only needs a hatchet.

Very nice.  She did a good job getting some nice poses and expressions 
out of you.  And...as you get older you will find the axe can be 
replaced by a hatchet.  

I feel a lot more comfortable when I'm the one holding them.  The three sutures 
in my left hand are from some angle iron.

Long story: the place I work was broken into by someone ramming a car into the 
roll up door, in the process of repairing it, we had two different engineers 
(myself and Bob O'Bob) doing things, when only one (myself of course) should 
have been in charge, and the angle iron acting as one of the guides fell out, 
swung down and caught my hand.

photos of  the wound, and the roll up door, and the angle iron on the outside 
that hit me:

I got some black market CGMs (you Canadians can buy them over the counter, we 
need a prescription) and it basically taught me that I need to cut out almost 
all carbs.  I've lost about 15 pounds since October.

I love the first image;  great body, nice image!

All of Laura's portraits of you are stunning.  You are indeed looking good,
and she certainly know what she is doing.

For humor content and general enjoyment, I like the images with the ax.

I don't feel comfortable having sharp blades hat close to my vital organs.
especially since my hospital visit two weeks ago.

PESO, PG selfie

[Larry Colen]

The one benefit of my pre-diabetes induced diet is that I've lost pretty much 
all of the weight I gained in the past year.  I had been thinking about getting 
some fresh photos when a local photographer posted that she was looking for 
models for a project for her photography class.  We had a fun photoshoot last 
weekend, and that also got me to pull out the lights and do some selfie work in 
"the studio".  

My favorite is this nude, from the back. If there had been an actual 
photographer guiding my pose I think it could have put my figure in a better 
light, by better using the light, but even so, I think it works:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/52820141685/in/album-72177720307520597/

C, as always, are appreciated. 

For those that are interested, here's a bunch of the artsier photos.  Laura 
wanted to use my "costume" axe in some of the photos, so in the selfies, I 
tried some with it, and also a couple of my swords.She let me have the raw 
files from her shoot, and also gave me her finished JPEGS.  Her photos were all
