It is my sincere personal belief that every person should have a photo album full of self portraits. A home for those photos of yourself that your mom sends you or the silly shot that proves to the world that you conquered the ropes course in 8th grade. I’ve got a Me Album- it’s modest and only holds 3 1/2 x 5’s, but it represents me in all of my glory and stupidity, even dating back to 4th grade. Here’s a very typical nerdy photo of me at the 7th grade science fair.

I would like to point out that this was my first perm (ack- did I just admit to having more than one?), for which I saved both my allowance and babysitting money. I was so proud of my frizzy mop.
