The fall burning of crop stubble has begun. Smoke from the fires burning unfortunately adds to air pollution. Not Asthma friendly !
Bit busy. Beard. Ginger. Smoking. Me.
Also, planning on having my hair cut tomorrow and beard trimmed at the barber as a treat.

Mike Mozart has been growing out his beard for three weeks from stubble. Here are some more Beardy Pictures!

It's been a couple of years since I last shaved my head, so I decided to go for it again, this time cutting it myself with an electric trimmer and my Gillette razor. The back is hard to get right when you can't see it in process, but I managed to get it pretty even by the end.
Should I have facial hair? Here's the another partial beard option. See the others and comment on your favorite!
Another inhabitant of the dry plains. The Stubble Quail is more easily found in daylight than the Plains Wanderer posted earlier. I've never seen a Stubble Quail from the front, only this rear-side-on view.
Stubble Quail 3 shows how well they can hide - shown just as it decides to go to ground. 5 seconds later after burrowing behind a few stalks it was completely invisible even though we were only a few metres from it.
Mono self portrait, taken whilst practicing for a headshot shoot. Was quite late by the time I shot this so I'm looking a little rough around the edges. That's my story and I'm sticking to it, lol. Prob should have pinned my big lug back too 😂
Doing my usual walkabout on State with the intention of finding a stranger with some sort of story to tell I heard someone call out "local paparazzi!" as I turned to look I saw a young man crossing State looking in my general direction. I stepped into the street, and quizically responded "If you know me by that name I feel I should know you, but I don't" extending a hand the man he introduced himself as "Kirby" and I instantly knew who he was. None other then fellow Madison photographer Kirby Wright. If you don't know of his great work with the camera be sure to click the link in his name (as it takes you to Flickr account. It's been interesting how many people I've met in the last 6 months who've identified me on the street through my Flickr ID as well as identifying me through countless selfies posted here (for such the purpose!).
Having done photography for the last two years as more a hobby then anything else Kirby has been hooked on Nikon since day one. Starting his senior year of high school in 2011 with a D5000, he quickly advanced himself to a D7000 (which he presently still shoots) as well as a "forever loaned" D3, Which at that is a great gift in itself, as I have recently come to the realization that full frame is the world was meant to be seen. But enough camera geeking, and a little more about Kirby (as my stranger for the day). One of his resolutions for the year of 2014 is to gain more exposure for himself as a photographer, but as a student of Geology at UW-Madison his days are filled with lots of FUN classes. His income while studying has been supplemented by working as a line cook at "The Old Fashioned," where he creates plate after plate for many a hungry Madisonion or visitor to the isthmus. Recently a friend helped him get his foot in the door for photography work, with the right connections Kirby is now just beginning to work with the university newspaper the Badger Herald.
He is looking forward to the opportunity to work with the herald as his hopes are that he get more designated work flow. This beats the alternative of just snapping photos to snap, as finally the photos will have a purpose and his excellent skill with the camera will be seen by more of the public then just an online community (such as Flickr). More then likely with a D3 and D7000 and a variety of Nikon mount lenses for his gear, I feel that Kirby is meant to be a Nikon fanboy for life. As we chatted I got the feeling that we were two alike individuals, and I was thankful for the opportunity to get to know him more on this chilly January afternoon. It seemed like a given, but I did request to take his photo for inclusion in my 100 more strangers project as although we have communicated through Flickr, this was a first meeting face to face (and not planned at that). Graciously he agreed to let me take his picture for the project, (which if you haven't any idea what a *100 strangers* is click this link to go to group and learn all about the 100 strangers . The truth is, not everyone we meet is strange and sometimes they are no more stranger then ourselves. Thank you Kirby for allowing me to include you in the project.

My replacement EF 50mm f/1.8 'nifty fifty' arrived today so I tried it out earlier with an unretouched 'straight out of the camera' selfie.
