Area 53 (2011) - Photo 12 - Sunset Ditch

Cale and I actually went out together to take some pics.
We didn't think the sunset was going to amount to much but after some aimless county driving it proved us wrong.
There wasn't enough time to really get anything I liked except for this one, which is actually the first photo I took all night.
Cu next week.

Area 53 (2011) - Photo 11 - Sauce Funky

This is a photo of John Rodgers from the band Mic Lordz & Sauce Funky from their performance on Monday night at the Hayloft in Mt. Clemens, Michigan in support of Cen Dog from Cypress Hill. I messed with the saturation on this pic and colourized it a little bit to give it an almost sepia tone with only a hint of the green from his gloves and headbands as well as the red from the light shining on him.

Area 53 (2011) - Photo 10 - Party's Over!

This is a photo I had to ask permission to take of what used to be the Party Warehouse on Walker Road in Windsor. Which is why I named it 'Party's Over!'
The building also housed The Clean Depot and Champion Products.
Arrests were made and I understand they were charged with arson.
Hope you like my happy photo of destruction.

Area 53 (2011) - Photo 09 - Playing With Myself

Cale is always big on doing self portraits, and me, not so much. Except for the one I did of my reflection in a glass of Dr. Pepper, remember? But I don't think it qualifies. This is an idea I had for a while but needed the time, set and the know-how to pull it off in Photoshop. I took four separate photos on delay with the poker table and all the props set in place not to be moved. I changed between each photo. Other than that, I had to think out what each player's hand would be and ultimately what each of the four of me would be doing in that second of time. Otherwise, I learned how to use stacking and masking to make it all come together. This is my test image, I'm going to go back and improve on it for sure. I hope you dig it. t Click here to see Cale's photo(s) of the week.

Area 53 (2011) - Photo 08 - A-Rod Stadium

This is a photo I shot in macro of an Alex Rodriguez action figure standing in front of a New York Yankees team guide with a photo of an early Yankee Stadium on the cover. It's a little mix of the old and the new. I thought it would look cool anyway. t Click here to see Cale's photo(s) of the week.
