Memorial Day Weekend in DC

I got out to a number of events this past weekend and thought I'd share some of the images with you all. You can check them out in this online album. There are 24 different images and I posted color and black and white versions of each.

So you know the context, the first and last pictures (1 & 24) are of my roomate Gretal who spent most of the weekend napping. Shots 2-5 of the memorials and 6-8 of a local band are from Saturday night. On Sunday, I took some pictures, actually a lot, at the Rolling Thunder Motorcycle Parade for awarness of POW/MIA issues (9-15) and then made it to the Viva Vienna Town Fair in time to catch a couple motion blurs of the ferris wheel and rides (16-17). Sunday I went to Arlington National Cemetery and took some of my favorite images from the weekend (18-23). I took a few pictures of George W. there, which I found to be pretty overrated. The people in the crowd were much more interesting.

New York City Panorama

I was out in West New York, NJ (yes, West New York is in New Jersey) a while back and discovered a great view of the city. It also had available on street parking and lower rents than Manhattan. I took a bunch of shots a little after sunset and stitched the separate images together in Photoshop. Here is the resulting image sized to fit your monitor. The full resolution composite file is 38 megapixals and at full size would print to 9 inches high by 6 feet long.

New Website and Blog

Welcome! If you are reading this, then you already know I have now launched a blog and a new website for my photography. I will be putting updates on what I am working on and new images on this blog as warrented so check back from time-to-time if you want to keep up with what I am doing. I'd also be happy to hear from any of you with comments or questions, other thoughts and ideas, and of course lucrative assignments. You can reach me via email at peterbforman@gmail.com.

Finally, thank all of the people who have offered their support, encouragement, and advice toward my work over the past months and years.
