On Saturday the 19th of May, I was unexpectedly asked to leave work early. I also happen to live in Chicago, IL and the NATO protests were happening. And about half an hour after clocking out and expecting to hang … Continue reading

Progress has slowed but this is what I have to show! Updating my portfolio section shortly!
For the past several months, I have been in a class instructed by Peter Thompson. I have add the pleasure of basically learning how to professionally use photoshop and use smart organization techniques as well as making an image look believable and not “over edited.”
So what I have been planning for sometime is to go back and do extensive work on my collection of photos that already have been published to the web and reissue them with all new global and local adjustments, brand new softening/sharpening techniques and new HDR (for landscape only) techniques.
It is a huge undertaking but I am still in the position to do such a thing in my career and it would also be a really good learning experience.
This is also in preparation for me to print a professional portfolio.
Here are two reworked images:
First set of TREK Bicycles I have photographed! Also the newest generation in frame geometry! (Sloping top tubes)
Definitely a challenge at hanging them at first but the Soho was the easiest by far after the 1.2 WSD. These are also the first pair(or perhaps 3) to get my latest lighting technique that will be applied to all future bicycles that I will photograph.
More to come!

Today marks the first day of spring with a high 0f 80. I can proudly say I survived my first Bike Winter 2011-12 Chicago!
Despite forecasts of a bad winter, my bosses telling me I would hate it a lot, and other people thinking I’m crazy, well, guess what! It was super mild, dry and a blast! Yeah, there were some really cold days with temperatures down to 10F but I made it through. I know it’s still the end of March and things could still go awry weather-wise but the worst is over in terms of low temperatures and the probability of heavy snow fall is very small now.
Regardless, KEEP RIDING! BIKE SPRING IS HERE! And this warm weather is very rewarding after these past cool months.
Ride on!
