The Golden Gate Bridge at 18,000 x 8,500 Resolution

by John P.


This is a photo I took at night by the Golden Gate bridge the last time I was in San Francisco. It’s ok. No big deal… But what makes it interesting is that I thought I’d try out a new plugin for Photoshop from onOne called Perfect Resize 7. I wanted to blow this image up to be able to print it 5 feet wide!

Cali Lewis and I had the rare opportunity to travel to Los Angeles for a Samsung sponsored event at the DreamWorks facility.

Street Artist

My friend (and Woopra partner) Elie Khoury and I were wandering around the Embarcadero in San Francisco when we came across this nice Asian lady who was doing portrait sketches on the sidewalk.

Los Angeles Fires Raging Uncontrollably

August 31, 2009

The fires in LA are seriously out of control. If you have any doubt, here is a very impressive time-lapse video that Brandon Riza shot, with his Canon 5D Mark II I might add. First of all, the fires are very scary, and I feel bad for the folks in California right now. I hope [...]

A Photographic Journey Through Muir Woods National Park

June 22, 2009

The Muir Woods are honestly one of my favorite places. Less than 30 minutes from the majestic Golden Gate Bridge, you can be standing in one of the last remaining giant redwood forests on Earth. Surrounded by these magnificent towering creatures, many over 600 years old, it provides a peaceful place to sit and contemplate [...]

Today I had to tell a couple of people about the Hollywood Walk of Fame and Mann’s Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, California. So I figured that I would take a minute and make sure that everyone knows about this place. Most people have probably seen movies and things that have the Hollywood Walk of [...]

This evening between intermittent rain and drizzle I walked around and managed to take a few photos in the area around the Hyatt Regency, where I’m staying, which is on the Embarcadero down by the Bay Bridge. In fact, Pier 14 is a fantastic place to walk out on the water and take photos of [...]
