Here is another small collection of some of the first images I took with the Lensbaby Velvet 85 back in January:

I’m still going to go into some detail about what makes the Lensbaby Velvet 85 such a special unique lens at some point. Just not today.

This is your reminder that this week’s THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme is FACE:
![WEEK 295 - FACE](https://photos.smugmug.com/WEEKLY-PHOTO-CHALLENGES/WEEKLY-PHOTO-CHALLENGE-YEAR-8/i-LBrb5h3/2/ae1d178a/X2/295_AA_FACE-X2.jpg)
FACE
A FACE image is pretty simple. It is merely a picture where a FACE is a major compositional element. Everybody has access to a FACE. Almost everybody either has a FACE or knows somebody that has a FACE. But not just humans have a FACE. Animals have a FACE. Clocks have a FACE. Even cliffs have a FACE.
Think about the following quote when you are contemplating your FACE image:
Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.
-Victor Hugo
Happy photo harvesting!
