I stumbled across these photos from back in the mid 90’s. I used to wear these shorts to the mall when I was in my 20s. These images are scanned from prints; sorry about the dust.
I took these photos on film with my 35mm camera. I had to pre-focus the camera and use a 10 second timer. These were not the most difficult photos I took that way, but it’s much easier to do this kind of thing today, with my digital camera.
My goal is to look this good by the end of this summer. I’m on a new exercise regime, and I’m trying to lose some of my abdominal fat. If I’m going to be prepared for another cold winter, I will need to cut and split a lot of firewood this spring.
I don’t have those shorts, anymore. I miss them. I suppose I could tailor a new pair, so I can do “then” and “now” photos.
Dang, sorta looks like my old shorts. I still have a pair, but a couple sizes larger. When you find the secret to losing the old age belly fat, let me know. Lady up the road knows me as the guy with the short shorts.

Yes, I think short shorts were in style when I was a teenager and I’ve never been able to let them go. What I find really hilarious is when someone says my longer shorts are “short shorts”. I want to tell them they haven’t seen anything, yet. I refuse to wear shorts down to my knees.
Regarding the belly fat: If I keep eating like I have been these past few days, it isn’t going to happen.
