Just some puffy clouds

Sometimes you just want some blue sky and puffy clouds. I took this photo this past summer on my drive out to Orgeon. This somewhere over the near the east border of Washington state.

Golden Gate Screen-Lapse

Click to embiggen.Recently I got to spend a few days in San Francisco and I'm finally finding the free time to dig through some of my shots. Who can go to SFO without doing the whole Golden Gate Bridge thing.

This particular photo consists of about 75 different shots to get this look. I wish I had more time that day to wait for the sun to get into the right position. I hope the fact that I've removed all the cars from the Golden Gate Bridge comes through on the final image as well.

To give you a sense of what all goes into my work I've created a screen-lapse of my retouching process. Enjoy.

Niagara Falls

Click to embiggen.I did a road trip last fall where I drove from Minneapolis to Canada to Niagara to New York City and back.  The goal of this whole trip was to take some photos.  I've already shared some of these with the world but I finally got around to working on some that I took at Niagara Falls.

Snow Cones of Fury

IClick to embiggen.'ve been doing some work with Brew Creative and William Clark Photography over the past few weeks and below is a photo I took during my shooting for the job with them but it didn't work for the project we were working on so I'd share it with the world because it's still a pretty cool image

I took this particular photo out at the Minnesota State Fair Grounds.  I just LOVE that snow cones sign.

Photoshop Disasters

Every morning you wake up, reach for your laptop, and check on your list of crack sites.  My crack sites include digg.com, www.dvorack.org/blog, www.gizmodo.com, www.facebook.com, and my ever so favorite photoshopdisasters.com.

This little beauty here is a great example of some horrible photoshop work.  Listen.  People.  Because you can do photoshop doesn't mean you should.  There are things in this world called perspective, and scale, and also fucking freaky kids.

Please, remember.  Photoshop is a lot like Elmer's glue.  A little goes a long way...

Also, if someone knows you did retouching on the photo, you did something wrong.

I swear to God those eyes follow me accross the room like that painting of Jesus.
