I Love Me Post, Idaho Edition

Taking a Break at Toxaway Lake (Aug 15)

I sometimes get complaints, usually from the family, that I don’t take enough pictures of myself when I’m off on some grand adventure. There’s a simple reason for this, of course. I know what I look like, and it’s the places I go to that I’d rather feature.

It’s not that I don’t take photos of me. I do. They just don’t fit into the narrative very often. If I have a spot for one photo of a particular place or feature, then I’ll almost always choose one that doesn’t have me taking up some of the real estate. You know, the old better door than a window concept.

So, for the odyssey to the Sawtooths, I thought I would just gather up 14 photos of me taken during the trip and dump them all right here. It’s like a virtual “I Love Me” wall you see in lots of people’s offices — scads of photos of themselves. Other than the one above, these are in the order in which they were taken.
