This was taken at the new park in Chicago late at night after a concert. Those blue and red lights move slowly around the metallic surface and combine to make interesting magentas against the skyline.

I am excited because I upgraded and got the Nikon D2X. This thing is like carrying around a small tank. It’s so large that it actually sucks other nearby cameras into it, automatically amalgamating all their megapixel power.

I took this at the top of the John Hancock this evening as night fell.

It was done with 9 exposures. I figured, why the heck not.

I recommend you click here for the Large version on Black. I keep all my images like that inside Flickr if you check the description below the picture.

I have a very busy two weeks coming up. Tomorrow I go to Chicago (thus the picture below of the Cloud Gate in the new park), then Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia then Amsterdam then Seoul then Chicago, then back to Austin finally to get ready for the Austin Game Conference.

This was taken about 11 PM in the middle of the new park in Chicago. I forgot to bring my iPod while I was walking around with my camera, and then I realized how addicted I am to listening to music while I take pictures.

After my meeting I headed downtown to see the new Millennium Park that recently opened. It was incredibly surreal and awesome. Here is a nice shot I grabbed… these are video walls that cycle in and out different pictures.

Here is a technique that lets you take pictures and turn them into images that look like tiny hand-built models.

I went up to Chicago for the day and met one of my good friends and old business partners Denis. Here he is, chilling out in a coffee house with me before a meeting. He looks shiny and relaxed.

I would have grabbed more pictures, but I was just there for the day and it was freezing and raining outside!
