man you guys are funny, lol. As one of you said, the lighting is different in the pictures. I think I used a flash for the newer one and turned it off for the older one, I can't remember now. I shaved my head because I can only let my hair grow out so much before it gets tiresome, and then shave it off.
No, I do not have cancer, and I do have to agree that I look better in the one where I have the hair, which is why it's still my default pic on myspace instead of the bald one. but, I think it's because I didn't take too much of a good pic of myself for the bald one. Self pictures are hard to do because you expect it coming. I have to work to take a good self pic because of that, where it comes real easy for me to take good pics of other people because they don't know it's coming and I can catch them looking like they're a part of the scenery instead of outside of it. if that makes much sense.
I've shaved my hair off many times before, though this is the first time I took a razor to it afterward and finished the job completely, lol. felt very weird. Might do it again, but I'll more than likely let my hair grow out again just because I think I look better with hair.
Thanks for the compliments.
