Before and After
May 9th, 2008
I’d been growing my hair and beard long for the past year. This was the longest they had been since I left college back in the 70s (seems like there was more on top back then, though…don’t know what that’s about). I was going for an “eccentric artist” look, but it was tending more toward “unabomber,” I’m afraid. I was getting a little tired of seeing fear in stranger’s eyes when I passed them on the street. Then I did an outdoor shoot early this week. Between the heat and the wind blowing my hair around, I knew it was time for a change. I don’t think that career as a mall santa was really going to work out anyway.
So I went to the barber and told him to just leave an inch of hair. Now it’s shorter than it has been since the army cut all my hippy hair off in 1971. I like the result. My wife, not so much. But it grows. I think this is pretty much the look I’ll be keeping for a while, though. I like the lack of required maintenance.
I’ll get back to posting nudes and dance photos soon. Sorry for the less attractive detour. But you may have to read a photo-technical rant first. Just fair warning.
