Light painting

I shot this image during the last World Wide Photowalk but I guess I never got around to publishing it. After the “official walk” ended, a few of us gathered at Cape Spear, Newfoundland.

Another gallery wrap

I had the gang over at Metro Signs do another one of their amazing studio wraps. This one I had done a little differently. I had the image wrap all the way around the frame and the frame itself is much thicker. Unfortunately, this image just does not do the wrap justice, you really have [...]
