Turning Heads: Portraits of Grace, Inspiration, and Possibilities
By Midas / March 28, 2018 / 3 Comments / Inspiration
Hats and head scarves are nowhere to be seen in these portraits of women who have lost their hair during treatment for cancer. Each picture, taken by a well-known photographer, captures bald women too intent on work or play to be bashful about their looks among others, Melissa Etheridge belts out a Janis Joplin tune at the 2005 Grammys, a rodeo cowgirl poses with the cowboys, a surfer climbs a wave in Hawaii, and a nun scrutinizes her poker hand. A foreword and afterword by the author describe the genesis of the book, her own experience with cancer and hair loss, and the brave women who posed for pictures. Photo credits and profiles are provided for the photographers, who include Eddie Adams, Debbie Fleming Caffery, Reuben Cox, Rob Gauthier, Lauren Greenfield, David Hume Kennerly, Antonin Kratchovil, Harry Langdon, Gerd Ludwig, Jay Maisel, Catherine Opie, Harvey Stein, Nick Vedros, and Annie Wells.

I’ve given it as gifts to my doctors (I’m a breast…
Bald is Beautiful I have just two simple words to share with author Jackson Hunsicker for her efforts in creating this book. Thank You!I know that the author put herself at great financial risk to create this book and I hope she now is recovering all of her expenses and then some. I hope you make millions Jackson. This book was just what I needed. I found it first in my oncologist’s office and then I bought myself a copy and then I bought my aunt a copy and then my neighbors came by and took my copy…
Inspiring, thought provoking, and terrific pics! Photos of cancer survivors showing off their bald or very short hair after having lost their hair with smiles, friends, family, or alone. Cancer has not defeated them or their spirit. There is a short message from each woman of her observations and opinion about cancer and her life. I found them to be inspirational, thoughtful, and / or amusing. This is not a one-size-fits-all book. These ladies have a range of ages and stories. There is something for most people here.I found the…
