The day that Boik became bold

Although I don't quite remember which day, it was a sad day for Bouke's mom. Bouke came to my (welll, actually my mom's) place to get his pretty long hair, including some aging dreads, butchered by BigSmoke.

It started out with quite a bit of hair still on his head.

There was really nothing wrong with the hair as it was.

But that didn't help those first dreads.

You see? It didn't help them at all.

In fact, none of the dreads survived the evening.

After getting rid of all the dreads, I performed some more of my special moves. But with restraint. After all, I couldn't just destroy all his hair, now could I? No really, I couldn't.

Is that smile a hopeful or a faithful smile?

Regardless of his hopes and fears, I seem to be quite enjoying myself.

Now, some parts have less hair. Other parts are hairless.

Who's that sexy soldier boy? Still a little too much left-over hair though.

Salute, soldier boy!

Despite my disfunctional hair-clippers, It wasn't long before all the rest of his hair was removed.

This is what had come off at the end.

Suspense… Almost getting used to the idea.

Surprisingly, the reflection looks pretty good.

His side-whiskers remained. Looks nice.

The top view looks pretty cool, too.

Blue-eyed, bold-headed boy.

It's time to get dressed again. It's time to face the momma.

Such a dangerous metalhead… And now a skinhead too. Poor momma…

Looks good in front of his mother's garden. She was … surprised.

Look at all those pretty flowers! Such a flowery mommy, such a bold boy.

I hope you've enjoyed this as much a I have. Let me know if you have. I'm always looking for better captions and nicer design, so if you feel inspired, share your inspiration. Also if you feel inclined to post-process the photographs a bit, please …
