“I don’t really take pictures of myself that often, and when I do they don’t turn out great," Era explained as he scrolled through a camera roll of gnarly grimaces and close-mouthed half smiles. “I have a couple ones that are not too bad, but really only this one solid picture.”

In the photo, Era is standing in front of a tree, crossing his arms like a cool and relaxed guy as he smiles at the camera.

“I even put on a good shirt for the photo,” boasted Era about his solid-colored black shirt. “Then I fake laughed to myself for like three or four minutes until one of the pictures turned out to have a good smile.”

“It’s my Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profile picture,” Era admitted. “And this one six-year-old picture is my entire Tinder profile.”

At press time, Era was telling an acquaintance his only good story, which happened in 2011.
