These are some photos I took on a much deserved Caribbean vacation a few years ago. The miniaturization technique, called tilt-shift, was created in Adobe Photoshop following a few simple steps with masking and the lens blur filter. Pretty cool. Read the tutorial here.

Here’s what I saw at the Monster Jam event at the DCU Center on February 19, 2011. However, what I’ll remember forever is that my son and my brother were with me and we enjoyed the visceral treat of thunderous destruction and the awesome splendor of mischievous mechanical marvels together.

Franklin Square or Federal Plaza? It doesn’t matter what you call it, it’s downtown Worcester. Wormtown. The heart of the heart of the Commonwealth. And this how I saw it on February 12, 2011. It was a bitter wind-whipped day in The Woo. Hard and sad, the seven hills remained lifeless in their dirty winter slumber.
