52 Assignments Exposure 03 - Otherworldly

This was an alternate shot for 52Frames-Rule of Odds.  Really liked the shot (and band) so applied an infrared filter to the processing for 52 Assignments.

Two Beards - Same Guy

On a photowalk at the Libertyville Farmers Market, I spotted the beard & long locks and, since we share hair color, struck up a conversation.  Alfredo said he's had the beard forever and just trimmed it and cut his hair for donation.  He found a photo before the trim and shared it with me (see 2nd photo below).

I'm including this shot as part of my "Beards" series.

Working with mid-morning sun and harsh shadows, I spotted these window coverings that formed a cool abstract subject with reflections creating context.
