He knows he's king. You have portrayed him quite majestically. Even licking one's chops can be seen of some historical monarchy. You have captured him well,Regis.
Thank you very much, Carly Sue. Tricky shooting through a chain-link fence. My wife took my picture today, so this will be my new avatar. Getting older and uglier.

Unfortunately, the hair is not real. It does cover up the 67 skin cancer stitches (scars) and baldness. I cannot let the sun to ever shine on my head again.
I wear a hat most of the time except for special occasions like church. Coming home from church today and wearing this wig, I asked my wife to take my photo
to update the old photo I have been using. I am lucky to not have many wrinkles but not so lucky to not have any hair since I was 24 years old. My father had hair.
I am glad my children took after my wife who has a lot of hair.
Below photos show my son, Eric (6'-2") with his new wife, Shannon and my wife, Cha on the right with all the hair. The other photo shows my daughter, Lisa and her daughter, Elarika (11)(granddaughter).

Well, one must do what keeps those cancer cells from eating away ! And seems you have instituted a good plan to do so. Your children are beautiful and seems they have inherited the best genes from each of their parents. I always have thought that biracial children have the best of both worlds in their looks, sometimes exotic, striking. Elarika is so charming and seems full of personality! perhaps I detect a bit of impishness in her smile! If Eric and Shannon elect to have children, they will be beautiful,as their parents make a strikingly handsome couple!

Thank you very much, Carly Sue for your kind words. Our granddaughter is a bundle of energy. She plays the violin very well and does many recitals. She does well with volleyball and plays in tournaments.
She is a straight 'A' student and is the student council leader. We are proud of her and of course she is 1/4 Asian. Her late father died 5 years ago of cancer, so our daughter is a single mom and running her own business.
I have skin cancer check-ups every 6 months and I am doing okay for now.

I thank you very much, Paulie. I have skin cancer check-ups every 6 months.
My hand is steady only because I have been hand holding my shots for about 7 years. I am used to the 7.5 lbs of lens/camera weight.

My checkups used to be every 3 months, then every 6, then once a year, then they would still like to see me (good insurance = steady cash flow), but I just decided not to go anymore - it was annoying...
