Trevor in costume as Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet (11th Grade)
I was interviewed for a documentary about gay male culture and masculinity, and afterwards the filmmaker requested that I try to dig up some old photos of me for the project. It was perfect timing, as I was interviewed last week just before I was to fly home to North Carolina for a day before my cousin's wedding (more on that in a future post!). I dug through my parent's dozens of photo albums and came up with these gems. My BFF Karen from high school (the nurse in R&J above, to my right, and who accompanied me to junior prom) also donated a few to the cause. I couldn't help but share!


Easter.... 1989, I think? I was going for that gigolo look


'89 or '90 again. Fishing at the beach. I was trying to show that I was a pretty average boy


I LOVED to catch bugs! Eek, can't believe it now. But here's me with a freshly captured locust, I think.


Oh, the awkward middle school years. I believe I was 13 here -- so it would have been 1996. That's our new puppy, Dunhill. He sadly passed away last year.


Me and Vanessa in high school! And my fugly blonde hair. Oy vey. Probably 1999 or 2000.


Oof. Junior prom with Karen. She had just come back from Miami (hence her skin tone). 2000.


Who's that cutey in the orange sweater! Senior year chorus trip, 2001.


2001, I think. I wore this gem of an outfit when my grandparents came to visit. No, really.


Oh happy chorus line! Fresh from the chorus awards. 2001.


Probably 2001? Maybe 2002. One of my birthdays; probably 18 or 19.
