Of course the episode completely forgot about his days before suiting up, but I can’t remember which season that was. We either assume he still took great photos with long hair or that he’s completely blocked it out when explaining every good picture. Plot holes are fun! Actually if anyone can explain this, go ahead. Haha
haha I love picture 20, the face he makes is priceless
Yeah so cute, I love how much emotion is in there!
I know right! Couldn't have been a better picture!
