Sunday (28-August-2016) — New Jersey

Indoor Selfie.

Beard or No Beard. My passport is valid for less than 6 months, and many countries will not let you enter with less than 6 months, so I need to have the passport renewed. I decided that I wouldn’t have the bushy beard on the passport photo so started cutting it off today. The battery on the electric razor ran out at this point. Should I take the rest off? Images taken with a Fuji X-T1 camera and 56 mm f/1.2 lens. I had to guess at the focus point, trying to get the eyes in focus as I moved from the camera on a tripod to standing in front of the “Tree of Life with Birds” sand painting from Bagan, Burma.
