I was inspired by Dave Ex Machina's pic of a Rabid Batman and wanted to try it out myself with some of my different heads.

photo cred: Laura

A good friend Barry came to help me in the studio for my final unit.

I thought I'd share a couple of images from the shoot about conveying the choice in personal styling.

Keep an eye out for my new website!

This Bodega Pulenta worker was concentrating on moving the grapes into the processing stream.

At work at an Oddwheels vintage working day at Hail Weston, Cambs.

I was totally blown away to learn this one receieved Best in Show in SOHO Photo's Krappy Kamera IX.

Obviously that means a lot to me but the subject of the photo made it even more special.

Most of the corn has been harvested in the fields in Central Illinois, the soybeans are slowly being gathered too. This is a scene just outside of any town in the area at this time of year.

Under the wide prairie sky, full of clouds and heading towards sunset, the tractor sits idle next to the farm shed and grain bins. The harvested corn field, cut down to stubble, seems to stretch out to an endless horizon.

My travels that day took my through countless scenes such as this. A meditation on the cycle of food production. As much as I see it, I'm amazed at how deeply ingrained the culture of farming is throughout this land where I live.

Sure, it can become monotonous to many. To me, it's where I grew up and where I prosper today.

The scenes from home.

Stubble field after the maize harvest

I probably shouldn't have posted this picture. It isn't a very nice picture.

You may have to view a larger version of the photo to see the details. On my right side of my face I'm clean shaven. That's how I appear 5 days a week. On the left side of my face is the stubble that grows on the weekends. So my face is a contrast of textures.
