"Leonard, The lone Survivor of the Café Racer Shootings"
* click image for larger version
Camera: Nikon D90
Software: Photoshop CS5 & Colorbyte Imageprint V9
Printer: Epson 4900
Medium: EPSON Enhanced Matte Paper
General Info:
The shootings took place on May 31, 2012. Of six people shot (including the gunman) five died. Leonard
was shot through the jaw and in the arm pit. While lying on the floor in a pool of his blood he had the sense
to dial 911 with his cell phone. He then got up and walked to the land line phone to call the Café owner.
The miracle of all this is the fact that the .45 caliber bullet in his arm pit went between his aorta and
spine without damaging either.
These photos were taken on June 13, 2012, the first time Leonard was able to visit the Café after being shot.
On the following day all the memorial items were removed.
Taking photos from a distance was not an option because of obstructions so photos were taken vertically with
a wide-angle lens close up. The inevitable perspective distortion was minimized by using the center sections of
16 images to comprise the panorama. Unfortunately the only way they could be combined was manually

"Afterglow at Steptoe Butte"
Location: Eastern Washington - The Palouse - Steptoe Butte
Camera: Canon EOS 30D lens: EF70-200 F2.8 Focal
Lens EF70-200 F2.8 Focal Length 85.00 mm (with 1.4 extender)
Software: Photoshop(almost no manipulation)
Printer: EPSON Stylus Pro 3880
Medium: EPSON Exhibition Fiber Photo Paper
General Info:
To capture afterglow determine your location in advance. Get to your location a hour or so before sunset.
I set up two cameras set up on tripods with cable releases. I selected areas where I liked the composition.
I waited until sunset is over and took several captures -- all very different. I moved the camera on the tripod as
the light shifted -- time is limited so be prepared to work quickly. It is the atmospheric condition of the sky
that creates the afterglow. The colors reflect the fields and will be different at different times of the yeas.
My photo was taken in May. I did very little post processing in Photoshop -- the colors were real.
