Roger Ebert – Self Portrait 2006 – Day Before Surgery
The above photo is a self-portrait created by Roger Ebert in 2006, the day before he went in for cancer surgery to have parts of his jaw permanently removed.
If you were going to have facial surgery that would forever change the structure and appearance of your face and your expressions, would you take a self portrait on that day?
Roger did.
Interesting.
Beautiful.
What expressions or compositions would you choose if it was the last day?

wonderfull!
Me gustan mucho las imágenes,
los textos no los comprendo muy bien
porque mi inglés es básico, pero
puedo decir que las fotografías son
preciosas. De verdad me gusta mucho.
Saludos!

Roughly Translated:
I really like images,
texts do not quite understand
because my English is basic, but
I can say that the photographs are
precious. I really like it.
