is relax, enjoy, and immerse myself in the natural world. Here I am catching some of the last sun's rays on a wonderfully warm fall day in the yard of our Montana home. (5D3, 24-70 f2.8 @ 50mm, 1/20s, f/13, iso 400, tripod and 10s timer)

Oh Mark,
10 second timer - Hey Man your working to hard to push a button and get to your chair and put on your relaxed face in 10s - Wheeeee - Seems like 30 seconds would be a more relaxed pace. enlightened

That's the kind of portrait I like! It tells much more than just a head shot. ... although what's on your head (that gray and white stuff) does give us a hint as to what your occupation is. Whenever people ask me what my job is, I always answer "I have the best job in the world -- RETIREMENT!" Great to see you enjoying your "job" in style (and still being productive, making images the rest of us can enjoy). :D
