Does anyone else take comparison photos? Not just before and after photos. I mean taking a picture at exactly the same angle on a regular basis to compare T changes and stuff.
I take a photo of my face every week.
I'd be really interested to see everyone elses photos.

I did for the first two months.  I also recorded my voice (speaking and singing) and did that for about 3 months. Got real lazy after that lol.

For privacy reasons, I won't be putting my picture on the site, but I like looking at other people's transition photos.  Go for it

Shame, I'd love to see them. I document my transition on YouTube, so that covers voice changes, but I never bothered with "this is my voice at x weeks on T" soundbytes or anything.

Just rammed all my photos in the first post

whoah! this is awesome.

Once I'm on T I may try it out.

please keep doing it.. id be interested to see more.

Haha, thanks It's definitely worth doing cause you don't really notice your face changing when you see it every day.

That's really cool, Ryan.  I can't put my finger on exactly what changed, but you look older from your pre-T photo (the second one) and your very last picture.

I wanna start doing that, its awesome to see your changes.  I am pretty obsessed with the photobooth program on my computer, and it is fun scrolling through all the pics from pre-transition to now. I look so weird with long hair.

Even tho I'm not on T yet, I feel like I can see changes from my earliest transition pics to now.  I just look way more comfortable in my skin.


First, oh noes I think i'm a BOY pic


And now, way better!!

It's like I no longer have this constant chant of "I hate myself, what's wrong with me" in my head.

cool idea Ryan, keep it up, its looking good

and  elvis, your hair in the second picture is just awesome haha

I can't believe you're not on T yet Elvis

And Ryan, i dunno why but at week 7 I start noticing some differences.

That's my got out of bed at 12pm hair haha.

lol better watch out i think that styles gonna be a big fashion hit soon 8P

eek! it is achieved by putting dax wax in my hair once or twice a month and only washing my hair with baking soda.  the wax just stays in and i only need to ruffle my hair a bit to style it.

you can wash your hair with baking soda?

Why yes! I am anti-shampoo, esp with real short hair.  It's an unnecessary scam. So yr hair produces its own oil, shampoo strips that oil, yr hair freaks out and produces extra oil.  That's how oily hair works. People think it's normal to shampoo every second day, but it used to be more like once a week.  Like how in old movies women will get out of dates by saying "I'm washing my hair" as if its an event.

So I stopped using shampoo, once a week/fortnight I wash with baking soda made into a paste, massage that in and rinse.  Then condition with vinegar diluted in a cup of water - that balances the PH. In between, I just wash with water if its a bit manky.  It can take a couple of weeks for yr hair to get used to it, but then it balances to its natural level and cleans itself. I used to use baking soda twice a week, now I'm more like one a fortnight.  It's cheap, easy, great for yr hair and the environment.

hmm you know, I may try that. you know, you can also use baking soda on your face.. the micro beads in the powder clean your pores

Yeah give it a go! Baking soda can do so much stuff.  It boggles the mind.

Alright, I can't resist...
You got baking soda! You GOT baking soda! EVERYONE GETS BAKING SODA!!!

Ryan that's what I plan on doing once I start T, but I'll also take voice clips. I'll take a pre-T photo and voice clip as well to compare. I hope I don't get lazy about it as time goes on LOL. After awhile I might only do it monthly or something.

I like the baking soda idea, for hair and face. The first couple weeks will drive me mad though because my scalp gets really itchy if I don't wash it every day.

How do post pictures in threads? I would love to add some of mine.
