020915

I had taken a shower and noticed that almost all of my hair had gone.

I cropped the rest of it away.

This image is also a good example of how a point-and-shoot camera focuses.
The focus mechanism works using the CCD-chip and searches for the highest contrast within the image. As there was little contrast on my body (the room was dark and my Lady had to use the flash) and much contrast on the jalousie, the camera simply focused on the jalousie.

It sure seems funny and crappy, but when you understand why this happens, it's all very logical:-)

Not so bad. The hair loss isn't as noticable and it's even, but the smile! The smile is the thing. It's returned and how electric! Just wonderful.
