Behind the wheel of a stolen Chevrolet
I'm going to get a little higher
And see if I can hot-wire reality'...Jackson Browne

Dancing with the Stars, Lindy Hop

The Lindy Hop

Still in Vegas and still making images of Dancing with the Star at the fabulous Tropicana Hotel.

The Lindy Hop was probably started in Harlem, circa 1920/30's. Based on tap, jazz and Charleston the Lindy Hop eventually evolved into the jitterbug which became somewhat famous during the heyday of American Bandstand...

If you happen to be in Vegas stop by and say hello.......The show will be at The Tropicana until July 7....

Vintage Gas Pumps

Vintage Gas Pumps, Indiana

As of late I have been processing my iPhone Photography images using NIK software in Photoshop CS6-Beta. Additionally I use use Snapseed for the Mac quite a bit.

The image today, Vintage Gas Pumps was made using ProHDR and processed using this workflow - iPhone iMage moved over to the Mac and processed using Color EFX 4, Snapseed and Viveza along with curves and sharpening in Photoshop CS6-Beta. I find this opens an entirely new vision for my images and will continue to explore this post-processing technique.

Lake Powell

Lake Powell

Last Tuesday I stopped by Lake Powell on the way to the Valley of Fire....Arrived at the Lake about 3PM and had to deal with very hazy light but really enjoyed the juxtaposition of the water against the sky and mountains. Made a few exposures before moving on and today finally was able to find a few minutes to process.
