I was on the way to the Barak Obama rally in St Paul when I came upon this car accident... needless to say I had to stop and shoot some pictures... Hilarious!

I don't do a lot of "photoshopping" on my photos. Most photos on my site are "as shot", but sometimes it's fun to play with a photo like this to highlight something interesting. In this case I destaturated everything except blue and purple to highlight Typhanie's crazy fun gloves.

Another shot from Jay & Linh's wedding in Mexico. I like shots like this that give you an alternate perspective on an event. You could have been there, but this is almost definitely not how you saw or recall the moment.
