Here is a portrait of Babe Ruth that I digitally-restored. The original scan (above) is lacking in contrast and color. To retouch this file, I did the following: cleaned up the dust and scratches with the clone stamp; chose the cleanest color channel (from Red, Green and Blue) and discarded the others while converting to grayscale; added contrast; converted back into RGB color mode; and applied a sepia tone filter to the image.

These are the original signature scans. I used elements from both of them in the vector signature seen below.

To create this vector signature, I did the following:
1) scanned sheet of paper with a number of signatures on it – David selected the two he liked best.
2) imported the two chosen signatures into Adobe Illustrator
3) traced elements of the signatures with the pen tool, then merged them together
4) finally, I brought the signature into Adobe Photoshop, added a drop shadow and saved it as a jpeg.

Vector signatures are great for personalizing emails, websites and much more.

This is a small chapel – I think – at St. Anthony’s Catholic Cemetery on West Nyack Road in Nanuet, New York. I took three exposures of this scene, as I was intending to create a HDR image. Instead, I decided to do something a little different. To make the above image, I did the following: traced around the chapel rocks to isolate the chapel; turned background into black & white and applied water color filter; finally, I applied the posterize filter to the chapel.

A couple knuckleheads thought they could drive their sedans through waist-high waters on Route 59 in West Nyack by the Palisades Mall. Really?

I recently designed a website for a luxury bed and breakfast in Poland. The site was created in WordPress and customized using the Headway theme. Click here to check it out.

I photographed this costume jewelry piece with a Nikon D90 D-SLR and 105mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor Lens. To make the final image, I silhouetted the rings in Photoshop, added a white background and a slight drop shadow.

Original scans of sailboat at sea – image was scanned in two pieces.

To restore this image I merged the two scans, enhanced the color, added contrast and cleaned up all dust and scratches. It was formatted as a 11×14″ print with 0.25″ white borders.

This is a make-up case that I photographed, then silhouetted in Photoshop. The blush and lipsticks were from a different photo, so I copied their layers to this file and adjusted them slightly.

High Dynamic Range photo of 1950s Chevrolet Sedan.  Photos taken at Industrial Complex in Garnerville, New York. A HDR photo consists of multiple exposures that are merged together to create the final image. It is called High Dynamic Range because it captures the exposure accurately in both light and dark areas of the image creating a wide, deep range of color and detail.
