Dr Nigam agrees to doubling slick NW6/NW7

[garethbale]

Probably a disposable one from the local corner shop.

That isn't necessary

You're right, but it was a little bit funny.

[Arashi]

You're right, but it was a little bit funny.

So what is your opinion Gaz. Cause I really don't get it anymore. Does Dr Nigams really not care about presenting credible photo's ? Does he just not know any better ? Am I just being suspicious here ? Probably, right ?

But all I know is that if I had cured hairloss and wanted to convince the world that I did so, then there's just NO WAY I would even think about shooting horrible photo's with a 1 Megapixel cam like that. I'd hire a professional photographer to do the session. Isn't that what anyone would do in that position ?

I'm sitting on the fence!

You have to ask yourself if you were Nigam why ask Mwamba over to India if you're not confident in your own procedure? You'd have to be stupid!

I think Dr Nigam should make a promise to himself to never upload photos of this kind of quality. I don't think he has any bad intentions, perhaps just naive and/or too busy to care.

Ok let´s go with the assumption he was just naive and that he figured shooting 1 megapixel photo´s with a $169 *video*camera was the best way to convince the world of his technique.

He promised to show us better photo´s soon, so let´s wait for that.

Lets pretend I'm Tracy and I have a 'Good Quality' camera. Now lets pretend I'm Dr. Nigam with said 'good quality' camera. Its a Canon 7D, costs about $1,200 for the body. Let's put a macro lens on this bad boy.. say, a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM Lens which also costs about $1,200. This lens is capable of producing shots like this:



Here's the equipment:





Here's a similar camera with the lens mounted:



So now we have Tracy's 'Good Quality' camera. Great.

And now the big question:

Does anyone want to put money down that Dr. Nigam knows how to use it?

[crafter]

im having my doubts :S

Well, like I said, my collegue shot this photo with a $1000 cam:http://i.imgur.com/QosxBQP.jpg

And he knows NOTHING about technique or shooting photo's. He just pressed a single button. It's not a perfect photo by far, nor is the cam a professional camera, but its 100x better than the one Nigam's shot.

But what any doctor would do if he had solved hairloss and wanted to demonstrate that to the world is, hire a photographer and have him shoot some pics. Is it really that hard to figure that's going to make the case 100x more credible ? I really don't get it.

The dude is apparently loaded with money. And he has to be. If he's got all that lab equipment for all of his work with hair multiplication, stem cell work, etc. there's not a chance in hell that he can't hire a professional photographer to document the case.

But, heres another major problem. 99% of people know jack shit about hair loss, follicles, hair growth, hair transplants, scarring, etc as a COLLECTIVE. You'd basically have to have a photographer who would ideally be familiar with before and after photographs of a hair transplant patient who's had close up photography. Otherwise, its not at all crazy to assume that the photographer is going to think 'Oh yeah I just need generic pictures of the back and top of a guys head'.

No, we need that AND proper macro photos of the individual hairs popping through scalp skin.

My god, I'd so be all over this if I we're within proximity of Nigams office.

[TO YOUNG TO RETIRE]

Dr Nigam what is the density you will make joshi recipient? hair per cm^2

That would be ideal. But I can live with sub-perfect photo's. As long as they're sharp, high resolution (at least 10M, preferably higher), shot with a decent DSLR cam with good lense and in focus, I'm happy. And yes of course you're right that to make a really good case, a LOT more is important, like getting the lighting right and have that match in before-after photos'. But again, I can live with sub-perfect photo's. Just not with horrible blurry 1 Megapixel ones.

He managed to shot Thanes photos and they were great. Did he use the same camera?

How many grafts is joshi getting? Invitro or denovo?

He used different cams, Joshi will be getting 15k, denovo.

[Arashi]

Also guys, Dr Nigams will bring me in contact with Thane. The thing I saw as difficult in the whole process was the part of the money transfer. Using a notary, escrow etc, it's all complicated and I guess it's going to be costly too. And when should the notary release the money ? So I just thought of a much better idea: if Thane agrees, I'll ask Spencer if he wants to be the 'notary' here I'll wire the $10,000 to Spencer right after Thane agrees. And then Spencer can be the judge here and see if he just should release the money back to me (in case Nigams failed to get Thane 15k grafts @ 2.5 hair/graft) or to Thane (in case Nigams did what he claims he'll do). Pretty frikkin' awesome idea, right ?
