Ultra Hipster Creates Faux-Faux-Aged Photos of Brewery

These photos were not taken with a vintage Polaroid camera. Neither were they taken with an iPhone armed with faux-aged filters ala Instagram and Hipstamatic. These were taken with a digital SLR, dragged into Photoshop, altered by one-click Photoshop actions (made by someone else) to mimic faux vintage prints. I call this faux-faux-vintage art!

A Few Photos from Italy

Megan and I visited Europe for the first time in June. We traveled around Rome and Florence, and spent a couple of days in London.

Photos of a College Town – Part 1

Evanston, Illinois is home to Northwestern University. Hence the predominantly younger crowd you see here. I am using an obsolete 24mm Canon FD lens.

Hovering your cursor over the images will reveal the title of the photo, some extra fodder for the imagination perhaps. Hope you enjoy it. Drop me a comment! VIEW PHOTOS
