"Well, this is unbelievable.."
 
"Honey, I know you're going to do fine in surgery."
 
"Well, if anything happens to me.."
 
"I'll take care of everything, ok?"

"Don't let anything happen to you! Don't go, alright?"
 
Statement
 
"These inkjet prints are from the series 'A Hair above Normal', a document of my year of treatment for prostate cancer. Each image contains the raw material of photographs, scans of ephemera from my treatments, and transcribed text from journal entries or recorded conversations with medical practitioners and family members." (Karl Baden, May 20, 2007)
