\"BabyI’m on paternity leave with my 5-month-old, Finn. Halloween is coming soon, and while thinking about costumes I noticed that Finn’s hair was starting to fill in. I realized that this was my last chance<\/strong> to take advantage of his relative baldness for costume purposes.<\/p>\n

So, over the past couple weeks I’ve been working on a fun project to photograph my kid in as many geeky costumes as I can before we hit Halloween. Or before his hair grows too much. Whichever comes first.<\/p>\n

The rules I’ve set for myself are:<\/p>\n

1. Bald or nearly-bald fictional characters only. The geekier the better.
\n2. No spending any serious amount of money each costume.
\n3. No spending any serious time on each costume.<\/p>\n

Here are the ones I’ve done so far:<\/p>\n

1. Avatar Aang<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Captain Picard<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. Krillin from Dragon Ball Z<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

4. Professor Xavier from the X-Men<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

9. Korben Dallas from The Fifth Element<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Korben<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These were all put together pretty quickly, and as I get time I’ll try to create some tutorials on how. Mostly I’ve been using double-sided fabric tape, onesies, cheap kid T-shirts, and post-it notes.<\/p>\n
