Jerry McCracken, Webmaster FTM Informational Network - Photo essay Self promotion isn't easy. Most of us are taught from an early age that it is just not polite or proper. I've been very lucky to have a few folks who were interested enough in taking my photo so there is a visual record of the changes my body has gone through. The more recent shots of me are thanks to my wonderful wife. My addoped sister, Gwen Smith, has a few more I haven't seen as of yet... Jerry Kellen McCracken Webmaster, FTM Informational Network
	Click on image for larger view   Taken in October of 1993 I knew I was FTM but was still in denile. A year later, a fall from a telephone pole convinced me that life is too short to be unhappy. After a 40 day stay in the Wacko Bin, I'd had enough!   I have this nude pre-transition photo thanks to Laurie Toby Edison and her book: "Women En Large" Images of Fat Nudes, Books in Focus PO Box 77005 San Francisco CA 94107 ISBN 1-885495-00-5 Click on image for larger view   Taken in August of 1995. Outside the First FTM Convention in San Francisco. Dean was amazed at the time that I had no problem taking my shirt off. I was happy to show the 'boob' shrinkage. My Second photo was taken almost a year after starting Hormone treatment. At the first Annual FTM Conference in 1995, I was approached by Dean Kotula. He asked if he might have a shot of me and take shots each year. I had/have no problem with it and had fun. In Seattle, the next Conference, he took another photo but I haven't seen a copy of it. If anyone knows how to get a hold of Dean - please have him get in touch with me - Thanks. Click on image for larger view   Taken in October of 1997. I was working for On Q and needed a shot for the people online to have an idea of what I looked like. Notice that the hairline is already receeding.... The funny part of this hair loss is that I look very much like my Uncles.       Click on image for larger view   Taken in December of 1998. I can no longer get away with a flat top hair doo as there isn't much left....           Click on image for larger view   Taken in December of 1998.

We drove to the Scottish Games and I had quite a few ladies who wanted photo with me! Go figure! The Balmoral sure does cover the lack of hair. LOL!                         Click on image for larger view   Taken in September of 2000. The wife wanted one showing my smile.

Taken 06/02 by DeDee Dewey, my ex. The top photo shows how long my hair has become. The wife thinks I can get it long enough for a ponytail like Sean Connery in the move "Medicine Man".   The bottom photo shows how much hair is - isn't left on the top of my head....
