I Used to Have Hair
ready for action
This has been a long time coming, so I'll make it short: I used to have hair. Long hair, to be precise. "Long" like "down to my ass" kind of long. Long.
I had it a long time. Thirteen years, if you count from when I started growing it out. More than eleven years, if you count from the time that I had something that could reasonably be called "long."
really ready for action
Then, in January, I finally got it cut.
Now, it's short. "Acceptable for business" short. "Won't scare away clients" short. And, so I've heard, "sexy" short. Sometimes it's even Heather who says that. (The last comment; I don't think she'd really care about the others.)
Anyway, you want pictures. Well, I've got pictures. From the first to the last, almost every minute of that landmark winter evening was captured in photos.
Preemptive replies:
- Yes, I was smiling like an idiot for the whole time. I really don't know why.
- No, I wasn't drunk.
- No, no one made me do it. I finally just got tired of having long hair.
- No, it doesn't "feel weird." Neither the haircut (process) nor the length.
I might eventually get around to adding comments below the photos. For now, the sequence can speak for itself.
(updated Wednesday, 25 August 2004)
I've added comments to several of the photos, as well as a contact sheet that shows all the pictures. Also, each image is now available in a larger format, besides the medium and thumbnail sizes.
Nothing special, but I thought I'd mention it.

Lookin' good!
Indeed, a fine new look. Now add the greased curly handlebar moustache, et voila! Ze frenchman eez here!
Very well done, mon ami. You're looking good. I heartily approve, and I'm sure Pepe LePew would say, "Zee cute female skunks, they cannot reesist you! ... You are zee handsome French guy now, mas oui!!"
Lookin' good, indeed. So what I want to know is, what did you do with all of the leftover hair? Also, if you got all of this cut in January, why are we just finding out about it now? I'm thinking it took you this long to get around to uploading the photo sequence...
Yeah, I'm really slow about getting pictures developed even under normal circumstances. The months following my haircut varied from "busy" to "insanely busy," so the pictures fell by the wayside. Plus, scanning a whole set of photos is a royal pain in the ass. I really need a decent digital camera.
impressive! perhaps the left-over hair could have been used to wrap around the big belly and keep the zygote warm?! it's getting chilly up here...Fortunately, as I suspect you didn't save the hair, I have grown my own belly-beard, which is veeeeery becoming, not to mention the fury sideburns that have appeared recently!
pour une nouvelle, c'est une sacrée nouvelle :) le résultat est pas mal, dirait la cousine...
Woah! Mister Suave now! You look great :)!
