The first two images from a new generational project I'm working on with the Little's. I've named the series "iPad Apparitions". Rykr Chief was the primary target last night. Much more to explore...

Tony Schumacher.


OK, let's get serious.





This guy, in my opinion, is the king of cool. Nitro Funny Car driver, Jeff Diehl.



This is what it looks like a quarter second before everything goes BOOOOOM!



And it wasn't much better for Matt Hagan.



Lots more here.

Unfortunately missed all the action out at Gateway and El Centro this weekend. Was in Williams and rode the train to the Grand Canyon.

A friend and I made a journey up to Woods Canyon Lake the first week of March.  The road back to the lake was closed so we made an adventure out of it.  We wished we had our skateboards with us because the road back to the lake is some of the smoothest pavement in the world.  These are a few shots I took during our adventure.  We walked about three miles along the road then walked back.  The sun fully set as we hiked back to the car.  We underestimated how quickly the temperature would drop.  It got damn right chili. 

If you've noticed, I have been processing all my photos with a black and white treatment from the Siver Efex Suite included in the Nik Collection.  The more I shoot not only with a 50mm lens, but convert my works to black and white.  The more I am starting to see in "black and white".  Any critique on the composition/post processing/technique etc.. is most certainly welcome.  That goes for any image I post anywhere.

Amazing detail Jeff, I think your having an affair with Ms. Hasselbad Zeiss!

Thanks to my work, I got a copy of Photoshop CS6-I had only had Elements previously. Tried messing with HDR toning out at Tempe Town lake.
