It's been a while since I've done a self portrait edit. I missed it, but thankfully I got new batteries for my camera remote today so I'll be back to taking selfies regularly.
I have a whole bunch of concepts in mind for future photos. I can't wait to start working on them. I'm even going to try editing photos that aren't self portraits. I'm really excited to trying a surreal manipulation of a photo of someone else. It'll be interesting.

"Here's what you need to know," he tells you as he places the ornament in your hand. "There are no meetings, no by-laws, and no dues, and if you lose the pin, you get another." Naturally, you join. There follows a wicked smile, as if to acknowledge his awareness that this is one of the few instances of human association that make it this easy.
Leon Weltiesier, New Yorker, July 26th, 1993
I had to take a shot of this in the mirror, so the photo is actually reversed...this is my left arm, not my right.
Chino @ King of Fools did an amazing job. Thanks, Chino!
Once the hair has grown back (probably a few hours from now, at the rate my hair grows), I'll take a second look and decide if I want the letters filled in with shading.
Although everyone will probably think I'm Jewish (due to the Star of David design), this is actually a Leonard Cohen tribute, and I'm still Catholic (with a lot of Zen, a dash of Native American mythos, and a sprinkling of Sufi).
Sorry about the hair, folks. It's genetic.
Update: Nov 10, 2016. RIP, Mr. Cohen. You are one of my heroes. God speed and good luck.

This week, the Pipeline Community Health Center in Monrovia, Liberia, is working to resume routine immunizations that have been put on hold due to the Ebola epidemic. The effort is part of a nationwide campaign led by Liberia's Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (MOHSW), and supported by UNICEF, known as the periodic intensification of routine immunization, or PIRI, which aims to rapidly reduce the number of children not immunized against measles. In Liberia, government data shows that monthly measles immunization coverage against target dropped from 71% in May 2014 to 55% in October 2014.
As cases of Ebola are falling in Liberia, health workers are encouraging parents to bring in their children in order to catch up on the mixed vaccinations. Dr. Rebecca Varney, the officer in charge of the Pipeline Community Health Center, said that some children coming in are 22 months old but have not completed their vaccinations.
Varney also noted the risk of unimmunized children spreading measles to other children in school, as well as the importance of vaccinations as schools prepare to reopen. "Children would come down with measles and the parents would not notice, and would send them to school…and it would pass on to other children." At this time if we can vaccinate the children to prevent them from getting measles, it will be so much better for our school system and other children will not get infected.

Photo: Applying a dissolving microneedle patch. The microneedles dissolve within minutes after insertion into skin to release encapsulated drug or vaccine.
A National Institutes of Health-funded study led by a team at the Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University has shown that an influenza vaccine can produce robust immune responses and be administered safely with an experimental patch of dissolving microneedles. The method is an alternative to needle-and-syringe immunization; with further development, it could eliminate the discomfort of an injection as well as the inconvenience and expense of visiting a flu clinic.

Quezon City, Philippines May 17, 2011. A Filipino boy Gabriel age 7 of Barangay San Antonio in Quezon City Philippines receives a free vaccine shot for measles launched nationwide by the Department of Health dubbed as "Iligtas sa Tigdas ang Pinas" or Saved Philippines from Measles, a door-to-door Measles Rubella (MR) Immunization Campaign targeting 1.5 million Filipino children ages between 9 months and below 8 years old to eradicate measles such as Rubella Measles or German Measles. The campaign started April 4, 2011.
When a critical portion of a community is immunized against a contagious disease, most members of the community are protected against that disease. This is known as "community (or 'herd') immunity." The principle of community immunity applies to control of a variety of contagious diseases, including influenza, measles, mumps, rotavirus, and pneumococcal disease.
The top box depicts a community in which no one is immunized and an outbreak occurs. In the middle box, some of the population is immunized but not enough to confer community immunity. In the bottom box, a critical portion of the population is immunized, protecting most community members.

Village Ð Alikia, Block-Chandanpur CHS, Dist-Puri, Odisha, INDIA..Supriya Pradhan, 20 days child, being immunized after Purnachandra Sabata, 44, an autorickshaw driver, delivered cold chain boxes of vaccines to Anganwadi centre. Every Wednesday, Purnachandra Saba, delivers boxes of vaccines to anganwadi centres.Immunization is one of the most cost effective public health interventions, preventing around 2 million child deaths each year worldwide, and IndiaÕs Immunization Program is the largest in world with respect to the quantity of vaccines used and the number of beneficiaries. Here, Routine Immunization (RI) saves the lives of 400,000 children annually. In OdishaÕs 30 districts and 314 blocks, it is not easy for health workers to reach a population of 4.1 crore. With 30% of the areas difficult to reach, 22% tribal population, 48% people in the BPL category and 17% schedule cast population, Odisha has been one of the most challenges states for them in terms of geography and demography. Despite these odds, during 2013-14, the state provided immunization services at a cost of Rs 30 crore to 8,54,619 children between 0-1 years and 9,40,081 pregnant women to prevent seven diseases such as tuberculosis, diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, polio, measles and Hepatitis B. In addition, vitamin A is also administered to children. The current level of full immunization coverage is 62.3% for children (AHS 2011-12), officials say. Since 2009, the program has manifested itself in the Teeka Express, where participation of civil society, NGOs, porters, rickshaw drivers and volunteers strengthen the vaccine delivery logistics. This system has been implemented in 280 out of the 314 blocks of the state, and has reduced vaccine shortage, improved vaccine quality, improved timeliness of reporting, ensured regularization of immunization in hard to reach areas and improved immunization waste management..

South Sudan, 2020: “To keep children healthy, parents must bring them to the health centres for vaccinations. That is how we prevent infections,” says Lucy, holding her boy Amin. The world has made such tremendous progress that, in 2018, 86% of the world’s children received the vaccines they need to grow up healthy. But unacceptable gaps remain. Here in South Sudan, just 44% of children receive the recommended vaccines. That leaves communities at serious risk of outbreaks and, as the COVID-19 pandemic has shown, an outbreak anywhere is a threat to countries everywhere. We are only as safe as the most vulnerable communities. So as we celebrate progress for children like Amin, we must also commit to reaching those who have been left behind.
