This past week I had the opportunity to team up on shoot with my good friend Karl from Dimension Three Architectural Illustrations.  Karl was actually working while I was hard at play working on a shot for my latest #p52 post.   Karl does amazing architectural illustrations and hopefully he’ll let me share his finished work here when he’s completed it. But back to playing.  Karl’s not missing a twin but here’s...

Self portraits are just uncomfortable business. But then again so is putting up a blog and sharing imagery and thoughts. All part of this experiment’s learning process. I like this shot ok.  But it’s only just passable.  And really it’s only passable because I put four shots together and created the frame to make it semi-interesting and passable.  So again another learning experience for me but not a shot I’m...

I like the overall effect and subject matter but the color balance is god awful. I originally liked the car tail lights in the image but more and more they look amateurish to me.  Certainly this is not professional level imagery.  ...
