I swear I didn't do anything. But at some point my finger felt itchy. And so I discovered the nasty bits of wood that had worked their way under my skin. I tried to use suction to remove them, but then realized, upon failing, that it was best to wait till I got back.
Yet I'm back and they are still under my skin. Because I can't find a proper pointy needle. Tomorrow I will have to find a safety pin or something to get it.
This is a portrait of Tim, 60. He's a steelworker at Splinter and tries not to get too involved in woodwork if he can help it - although he is on hand if he is needed.

Saturn's shadow interrupts the planet's rings, leaving just thin slivers
of the rings visible in this image, which shows a pair of the planet's
small moons.
This view looks toward the northern, sunlit side of the rings from just
above the ringplane. Most of the main rings are darkened by the shadow of
the planet, which stretches across the center of the image, but the thin F
ring can be seen extending across more of the image. Helene (33
kilometers, or 21 miles across) is in the center top of the image.
Epimetheus (113 kilometers, or 70 miles across) is in the lower right.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft
narrow-angle camera on Nov. 7, 2009. The view was acquired at a distance
of approximately 2.6 million kilometers (1.6 million miles) from Helene.
Image scale is 15 kilometers (9 miles) per pixel.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the
European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion
Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in
Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate,
Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were
designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging operations center is
based at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colo.

For this photo i took a piece of really grungy and rustic looking wood that i found while walking around. I planned on a studio setting for the photo but i was at my neighbors house and noticed that their granite counter top had a really interesting pattern, texture, and color to it. I used this as the new background and used a desk light for the lighting. I wanted to emphasize the cracks and indents in the wood. Am i the only one who sees a face?
