"I just can't bring myself to be comfortable with the implant.."
 
"Y'know something? You've got some time to think about this. I would say that the disadvantage to the injection is that each time you want to have sex, you've got to get a needle, you've got to inject, and it does take away a little bit from the spontaneity of the moment.."
 
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)
