Project 365 – Day 54
AMD Opteron
More fun with closeups and some High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging. This is the underside of an AMD Opteron microprocessor.
Shot with a Nikon D3 and Nikkor f/2.8 60mm Micro lens. Post-processed in Adobe Lightroom 2.2, Photoshop CS3, and HDRsoft Photomatix Pro 3.1.3.
Special thanks to Craig Huller for inspiring me to work more with HDR. Click here to view Craig’s HDR images. Beautiful work!

Project 365 – Day 34
OneFish2
My good friend Steve Fishman, a.k.a. OneFish2, and I met up for a late lunch on a snowy afternoon in Rockland County. Always a fun time with OneFish2. Be sure to checkout Sakana Japanese Restaurant in Nanuet, NY, if you’re looking for a delicious meal. Great service, decor, and prices too.
Shot with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 and post processed in Adobe Lightroom 2.2 and Photoshop CS3.

Project 365 – Day 32
Year of the Ox
My son Kyle and I decided to visit Chinatown in New York City to see the Chinese Lunar New Year Parade and festivities. It was a gorgeous Sunday for February… sunny and ~50 degrees (F). After a fun drive to Hoboken, PATH train ride to NYC, and subway ride down to Canal Street, we finally arrived in Chinatown. It was crowded, as expected, but we had a fun time wandering around and watching the pre-parade festivities.
By the time we finished lunch at Joe’s Ginger (which has awesome soup dumplings btw), Kyle was ready to go home… and the parade didn’t even start yet. No problem. I’m used to walking several miles when I visit NYC, but I realize that’s a lot for a 7 year old’s legs (especially with all the crowds to deal with). All in all, it was a great day spent with Kyle.
I posted a bunch of pics from our day trip to my Flickr. I decided to go with this shot for Day 32 of Project 365. I couldn’t even see what was on my LCD screen when I was shooting it, due to the sun. It was a nice surprise later on when I realized I had captured Kyle’s face in the bottom of the pic.
Shot with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3. Post-processing done in Adobe Lightroom 2.2.

Project 365 – Day 20
Can We Start Over?
A historic day… the inauguration of the 44th U.S. President, Barack H. Obama. This particular screen capture off my iPhone is the moment when Chief Justice John Roberts botched the oath by switching the words around. Apparently, this was the 3rd time in history this has occurred (and I’m sure not the last).
I watched the majority of the event via HD broadcast on PBS (they had the best signal), but also watched on my iPhone. Yup, a streaming broadcast via CNN and Ustream.tv… delivered to my 1G iPhone via WiFi. What a great proof-of-concept.
