This won’t be Ben’s photo for the yearbook. Those were taken at school. This photo will be largely for his graduation announcements as well as, of course, our memories of this special time.
Oh, probably ought to leave a photo like this alone, I suppose. It’s probably not sending the right message for a senior portrait.

Photo #1, but cropped a bit.
Haircut.
I tried to at least schedule a friend to trim or shape it up, but to no avail. I’m fighting two fronts on this one, Ben and the teen female crowd. 
Here’s my other problem. This is a photo of me from my senior year in high school.

Wow talk about spitting image
anyways i like number two,hes more the focus of the pic
I sure do like the beautiful background of #2.
Yeah, everyone says we look alike. I put the two of us together and sent it to my family. Can you tell we’re related?
If you looked like that back in that era, you must have been on drugs!!!
Only high on life, young Billy.
But you look like a hippie!!
Thus my dilemma. I really wanted Ben to get at least a trim before his photos, but if I looked like that in high school AND that’s the incoming style today, I don’t have much of an argument.
As for my photo, it’s like Zotz candy. It’s what’s on the inside that counts.
Edit: Okay, so what did the rest of you look like back in the 60’s and 70’s, and maybe, possibly, the early 80’s?
“You reap what you sow” is truly relevant in more than one way here.
Of course, years ago a father could say: Get a haircut! and make it happen…
Eh, I wasn’t much to look at back then…
Okay, I had to do it. I had to put together a comparison between Brad and me from our 9th grade years (Brad is currently a H.S. freshman).
Poor Brad, he has to be compared to THAT?

Thank you for all your expert advice. We appreciate it.
