Driving through Dassel, MN and this beautiful trike grabs my attention. This is one of Bad Boy Customs "Radical" trikes, flawless in every detail. They have many others but this is the one I want. Thank you BBC for being kind enough to let me take these shots. Oh the toys!

HDR Gazebo

This is my gazebo. Site if much hanging out and many meals.
Took this pic at about 1 AM with virtually no light. Final exposure took about 30 secs. Turned out pretty cool. Need to figure out how to stabilize camera better. Probably need a better tripod.

HDR Three Amigos

These guys were hanging out.
I like the texture of the background.

HDR Volvo

This is my first attempt at HDR.
It looks a little animated, but its still pretty cool.

Super sick Photoshop painting

This image was created completly in Photoshop, from scratch.
It is a panorama of the Damen Station on the Blue Line of the Chicago Transit Authority.
Adobe Illustrator was used for generating the majority of the basic shapes as well as all the buildings in the Chicago skyline. The rest was created in Photoshop.
• The image size is 40 inches by 120 inches.
• The flattened file weighs in at 1.7 Gigabytes.
• It took eleven months (close to 2,000 hours) to create.
• The painting is comprised of close to fifty individual Photoshop files.
• Taking a cumulative total of all the files, the overall image contains over 15,000 layers.
• Over 500 alpha channels were used for various effects.
• Over 250,000 paths make up the multitude of shapes throughout the scene.
