Fat Tire
I don’t normally shoot neon- I just don’t get it. While out and about shooting with Jeremy Brooks, however, I think I began to understand it a bit. It’s about shooting something you see everywhere- the mundane, the plain- but something that changes from place to place.
Put it this way: you have an opportunity to take one of two shots: the first is of the typical shot of the...

DMU Curator Galleries
Imagine you’ve been given the responsibility to curate a small show for the person above you in this thread. You have to go thru their stream and choose 10-18 images that will be displayed. They should be representative of the artists ‘style’ and showcase the best of what they are about.

Hear that Light, See that Sound
One of the photographers whose work I enjoy the most is Ivan Makarov. Each of his shots is striking, reminiscent, and master-planned to near perfection. His compositions are oft flawless and his use of exposure time nearly perfect.
There is one thing that has always gnawed at me, however, about his work and that thing is the amount of planning that goes into each shot. Perhaps its my lack of...
Not a Feeling, An Ability
For the longest time, I never really understood why I would ever want a wide angle lens (fisheye or ultrawide). That’s until I borrowed Isaac Pacheco’s (WarriorWriter on flickr) Nikkor 16mm f/2.8 fisheye and Jeff Wilson’s Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 ultrawide. This shot, of course, was taken with the fisheye, but isn’t completely circular because I shoot on a cropped sensor and...

I am doing the 2010 Bike4Life Winter Challenge (itinerary below) in Mali. As a condition of my participation, I had to raise $3000 in sponsorship, and having now broken that amount, I thoroughly hope to shatter that mark and hope that I can count on you to help me out.

Hard to Know You Still Care
I tried a different processing technique in Nik’s Silver Efex with this one- it didn’t really work with any of the other shots I tried it on, but I love the way it completely blacked out the sky in this shot and kept it. I know its not something that most would like, but I do and that’s all that ever matters when it comes to my photography.
