"Narrows"

"Narrows"
November, 2010 | Fort Wadsworth, SI, NY.  Shot from the top of a hill at Fort Wadsworth during a rare solo weekend day, this was a shot I had been thinking about for years.  It didn't really take much sizing up but I did take several similar, thought this was the best of the set.  Shot with a Canon EF L-Series 17-40mm lens and my trusty 5D Mark II.

"M. Ali"

"M. Ali"
Summer, 2010 | Brooklyn, New York.  This is a photo of Muhammad Ali's "Underwater Training" shot from an angle that ensured his body took on distortion, changing the entire dynamic of it - almost cartoon-like.  The focal point was on his head while using my 50mm lens, which is how the blur was created (shallow depth of field).
