Illustrated BMI Categories – a Flickr photoset

Granted, I think BMI is a bit overrated, but I think the labels in this Flickr photoset are appropriate for most of the pictures. We, as a western society, are starting to get pretty thick around the middle. The question is “how do we address this?” Do we start loving our bodies in their current fattened state, or do we look at possibly unrealistic and potentially unattainable ideals for guidance?

Illustrated BMI Categories, a Flickr project where you can see what “underweight,” “normal,” “overweight,” “obese,” and “morbidly obese” BMI categories look like on real people.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
