Question Mark

By Jason Hines | Published June 9, 2011

Just a quick post for today. This is an image I took in Downtown Phoenix a few months ago. I used a pretty simple treatment of this one with Photomatix and Lightroom. I have no idea what this is supposed to be, or really what it looks like to me, let me know what you think it looks like in the comments. Thanks!

The Bowtie

One more photo from my time in Downtown Phoenix not long ago. I’m pretty happy with how this one came out even though a few people walked in front of the camera while I was taking the photo. The shutter was open for so long that the camera didn’t even register them in the image. I hope you enjoy!

Thank you for your support and have a great weekend!
