Daily Challenge Today 499

My daughter is starting her first 'real' job after college. Business consulting (virtually for now).
She needed a casual head shot to share with her new colleagues.

Today’s shot is a follow up to yesterday’s, being more documentary than artistic. I noticed today that the cold burn I got yesterday is more visible. Of course, it is on the two inch strip of skin between my gloves and cuffs that becomes exposed and unprotected when I stretch out my arm. It becomes an instant target for the very, very cold transfer line.

Thinking about photography and its evolution this morning...my own photography, as well as the general art and practice of photography. I reread the section from David Macauley's extraordinary illustrated book, The Way Things Work, published back in 1988 which seems both modern (in a timeless sense) but also a million years old today.

Is that Q or Q7?
 
Is that Q or Q7?

This is the original magnesium-bodied Q. I realize it's a bit hard to tell from the admittedly contrasty treatment I used in processing this image. But being a dyed-in-the-wool Pentaxian from my earliest days, I actually have both this Q and its plastic-bodied sibling, the Q7 (with its larger, improved sensor) as well. Here they are, side-by-side, waiting for their next excursion--
