Surviving Cancer 


During the Censored Project I met many different kinds of women, a lot of whom surprisingly keep in contact with me. One of them is Ashleigh, who I recently found
out has Cervical Cancer at the age of 24. I shot some nice portraits of her with her long dark hair, and a few days later shot this. With the hair falling out in large clumps from the chemo, she decided to just shave it, and I really wanted to document that.

No one ever said much about the other pics I took of her, but now with the bald head a lot of people have been effusive about just how beautiful her face is and how penetrating her eyes are. Maybe more women should shave their heads in order to have their true facial beauty be appreciated.





In other news:
There are still a few dozen NEW PIN-UP 2009 CALENDARS left! If you'd like to order one, send me a message!

Also, I finally gave in and created an official "blog". Check it out.

And lastly, please add my as yet Unrestricted Flickr Profile.
