You be the judge.

David’s hair is growing out very thinly on his head, and in patches on his chin. I’d shave his head, but it’s more like peach fuzz, not very noticeable.

I took this pic a couple of weeks ago. It’s a tad stark, but we both like this photo. I see this look on his face often enough to call it a portrait.

Day 9 of David’s 4th hospital stay, and his immune system isn’t strong enough for him to come home yet. They’ve been given him white blood cell boosters, which help, but the counts are still low. He can’t wait to come home.

  1. heh. it’s a good photo in a strange way as it leaves you wondering what he’s looking at and thinking about. Fester, Star Trek (i’m not a fan, but give him a suit and i’m sure he’d fit in), or some avante garde rockstar! :D

    Yeah, he looks like a relative of Captain Picard. ;)

    Speaking of rockstar, Gerald, that (old) photo of you on your site makes you look like a diva! ;)

  4. heh, i nearly choked on my sandwich then with laughter. can a man be diva? :) tell david to remember the mantra – bald is beautiful :)

    Can a man be a diva? Oh YES! :)

    Well, with Halloween not too far away, maybe he could consider some black robes and a rig that would let him put a light bulb in his mouth. :)

    And I agree with the avant-garde rock star idea from above. That would be an interesting photo series, to pose him to look like one (have him recreate El Viejo Musico, for example).

  7. Eeep, forgot my name on that last comment. Hi guys!
