Just want to throw it out there, the other day at work I missed a pic with a guy who 6'10" because the store was so busy, so I informed him that I would get him next time.

My AM Shonda brought this one to the front of the store smiling from ear to ear, talking about, is he tall enough. As you can see yes he was lol.

This pic is dedicated to one of my favorite co-workers Kristi. This is her BF and he's just hilarious for no reason. Rock on KP

So a couple of days ago, a guy was in the store while I was taking a pic with someone for the blog, and after the pic was done and the person was gone. He approached me and asked me what I was doing. After explaining the blog to him, he chuckled a little and told me that I should be ashamed of myself for such pathetic behavior. Shocked, I asked what he meant He replied that I was turning myself into the ass end of the joke, and he felt sorry for me because I was behaving like a little black clown for the man. And that it was because of people like me, that the African American people can't get ahead in life. I'm taking it that he felt this way because the pic was with a white guy. So after standing there and respectfully letting my elder speak his mind, I simply chuckled back at him, and told him that his brief had slid down his pant leg and was dragging on the floor.

So OMG, I was so happy this day. As you guys can see I got my first ever pic with a tall woman. She was really cool about it and he was hilarious. She told me sure you can have a pic, just make sure you don't be showing people talkin bout this my woman lmao. I think she was doing a short man thing or something behind my head because everyone kept laughing.
Good times.

So as I'm going through the pics to posts, and remembering the days in which I got the pics, I'm recalling so much stuff that led up to the getting of the pic. And I'm rather enjoying the journey of getting the pics, even when I'm turned down I still see it as a bit of a accomplishment, because I'm actually approaching strangers an asking to take a pic with them because of their height. And believe it or not I actually get more positive responses than negative. I also have been recognized a few times while out, just from the blog, that was kinda cool lol. So as long as I can keep getting the pics I'll keep up the post, so be sure to keep watching and sharing.

This guy was quite funny, he'd been in a couple of times this day. I can't remember if he needed extra help finding or change in a specific way or something, but I told him we could trade that for a pic,. He's pretty cool, he's from Jamaica, and he was cooking jerk chicken, which I'm still waiting for my plate of lol...

This guy comes in all the time. I'd been telling him for ages that I wanted to get a pic with him but I never got it, I always forget. But this day I did, he laughed the entire time lol.

So I know that you guys have been looking for the newest pics. I've gotten a few new ones, just haven't had the time to post them. I'm going to try my best to get them posted soon... Until then I appreciate all of the support I' getting from you guys. Much Lovums

This guy was hilarious. When I asked him if I could take a pic with him, he's like I love doing stuff like this.

I got this one Friday... I'd gotten to work and I wasn't really in the best of moods. I was standing there talking to the AM on shift and I turned around into this guy. He was really goofy, and really cool. He's 6'9" and only 18 years old, so he still has some growing to do lol.

This guy comes in the store quite often and I never really paid him any mind. I just happened to notice him and ask him how tall he was. And here's the pic...
 

This is me and my little goofy spirit. I didn't like being so short at first, but now I love me as I am. I'm working on getting more pics, it is a little difficult to get pics once guys find out that I'm gay(you know stereotypes) but those who have participated I sincerely thank you all. I am also looking to take some pics with tall women, but it is sometimes a sensitive subject. But I'm working on it, so keep an eye out, I may be snapping with tall people near you. And if you know some tall folks who wouldn't mind being in a pic, send them my way.



This guy was today, when my shift first started. He came in to buy hoop shorts, ad kept laughing because he didn't think that I was serious.



This one actually took some convincing. But he came around. No harm no foul.

This was actually he 2nd pic with this guy, because we couldn't stop laughing.

                                                              Got these 2 in the same day.

This guy was cool. And he had no problem with taking a pic with me.

This guy caught me off guard. He actually volunteered himself for the pic after he saw me take he first pic.

This guy was pretty cool. And for some strange reason I look really small next to him.

This guy was absolutely awesome. He's blind and was just the most kind spirited individual I've ever met. He told me he was going to make me feel really short, so he put his hand on my shoulder lol.

 

 

 

 

This one was a little difficult to get. Whenever he came into the store I was always super busy, or my phone was about to die. I finally got it when he needed to use the phone one day, so he waited. Don't laugh at my pants, I'm not sure what was going on that day.

This was the first pic I'd done in years, and I happen to turn around and see this very tall individual, I asked if I could take a pic and he happily agreed. He was a very nice guy. Notice I was in my full short glory, no shoes or anything lol.

This blog is a collection of photos of and the interesting to semi-interesting stories behind said photos. A little about me, my name is DeAndre and I'm 27 years old, I stand a proud 5' 3" and one quarter. I got the idea for the blog, from a rather quirky habit of mine, where I would ask random tall strangers to allow me to take a picture standing next to them. After posting one of these pictures to my FB profile I was presented with the idea by a good friend and it a born. So without further ado, I give you Me Standing Next To Tall People.
