Probably my favorite snapshot portrait I've gotten in recent years.
I only wish it was from a higher quality camera.

NRCS has a proud history of supporting America’s farmers, ranchers, and forest landowners. For more than 80 years, we have helped people make investments in their operations and local communities to keep working lands working, boost rural economies, increase the competitiveness of American agriculture, and improve the quality of our air, water, soil, and habitat.
As the USDA’s primary private lands conservation agency, we generate, manage, and share the data, technology, and standards that enable partners and policymakers to make decisions informed by objective, reliable science.
And through one-on-one, personalized advice, we work voluntarily with producers and communities to find the best solutions to meet their unique conservation and business goals. By doing so, we help ensure the health of our natural resources and the long-term sustainability of American agriculture.
Farm Production and Conservation (FPAC) is the Department’s focal point for the nation’s farmers and ranchers and other stewards of private agricultural lands and non-industrial private forest lands. FPAC agencies implement programs designed to mitigate the significant risks of farming through crop insurance services, conservation programs and technical assistance, and commodity, lending, and disaster programs.
The agencies and service supporting FPAC are Farm Service Agency (FSA), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), and Risk Management Agency (RMA).

Day 155, 2011
Found in a field just outside of Saskatoon, this sight was the result of a late harvest that just wouldn't dry up combined with early snows.
Paunchy; having a moustache; a balding head; two-day-old stubble; perhaps aggresive; he is a typical Delhi male.
I am amazed and fascinated by the work of Martin Schoeller.
I would love to know how he produces such stunning portraits. My first attempt is not impressive, but it has taught me two things - the unusually wide angle needed to get his portraits, and the importance of lighting.
By comparison with my self portrait, which is lit from what was effectively a large softbox above the camera, his are clearly lit by two lights of equal power at about 45 degrees to the left and right of the camera.
OK, will try that.
You'll notice that this is almost the same view as a couple of days ago... but the method of transportation has 'gone analogue'. After admiring acres of stubble fields I just couldn't resist borrowing my mother's horse and having a bit of a canter. Surprisingly it's been about two and half years since I last rode. It's definitely the best way to travel cross-country, the ATV is too noisy!
