My Photo in the Sudbury Paper (online article)

Bo's gut... trick photography or real? Well, this one is a slight exaggeration of the real photo, but close enough. The photographer took at LEAST 50 photos and this is the one they chose. To set the record straight, I have a 35 inch waist (36 after dinner) and I do not wear my pants pulled up to my chest. When I look down, I COULD still see my toes. So what happened? Here are my current theories:
1) The photographer didn't like me
2) As the photo was being taken, i got bit by something on my lower back and arched, thus pushing out my gut
3) a gust of wind swept in from the windowless room, pushing out my baggy shirt
4) the camera adds 10 pounds -- to your gut
5) I really am that fat -- I have a skewed self-image and am living in denial
6) Anyone see "Junior" starring Arnold Schwartzenegger?
What ever the case, I am grateful that the article was posted. It was very well written.
