Loved the blend from brown to green on this one. Had to shoot it. Given how cold it has been, it’s kind of nice to look at this one. Sure, it’s no beach shot from a sweet vacation, but we take what we can get.

iPhone 4S shot. I edited this one in Flare (on sale in the Mac App Store for $9.99!), an inexpensive and fun way to give sterile digital images a bit of analog grit and whatnot. Flare also has non-destructive editing features for some tonal work (Brightness, Exposure, Contrast, Saturation, etc.) and some quick and fairly powerful ways to add transparency masks to filters. There’s also a website where free presets can be downloaded.

As part of Movember, 2011, I am part of a larger team of dad bloggers and writers. We’ve raised a bunch of money as a team; $19,036 as I write. Thank you to all of you who donated! It’s been really amazing to be a part of something like this instead of being behind the scenes with my day job. On top of the money the team raised, Philips Norelco ponied up an extra $15,000 and donated a couple of sweet bits of kit to aid with the removal. I was sent a beard trimmer (QT4070 Pro Vacuum stubble and beard trimmer) and a sweet electric shaver (1250XCC Jet Clean Electric razor GyroFlex 3D Shaver). The last time I shaved with an electric razor was sometime in the 90s. I had a previous version of the Norelco rotary shaver, but as my facial hair experimentation impulses expanded, I abandoned the Norelco for the Mach 3. E.g., Experimentation Phase II:
I was nervous about what would happen to my head neck and face areas if I touched it with an electric razor. I didn’t need to worry.
