Bio:

I worked as a web application specialist (among other things) for Time Warner Cable for 12 1/2 years. Of all the duties I preformed for them and of all the computer related things I have ever done, my absolute favorite is to process images.

I also enjoy publishing Catholic books. Saint John Bosco (aka Don Bosco) paints such vivid images in my mind when I read about his dreams. His dream of the two columns inspired my first non-fiction work. Discover Tim's book: Dream of the Great Ship ~ Interpretations of Saint John Bosco's Dream of the Two Columns.

Here's another spin-off of Lunch atop a Skyscraper (Charles Ebbets). The skater is actually jumping off a ramp and the photo is taken at ground level. It lends itself very well to an arial shot though! This project was inspired by a tutorial in Beginner's Photoshop Vol. 1 titled Photoshop atop a Skyscraper. Of course, their tutorial was inspired by the famous photo taken by Charles Ebbets. The tutorial showed how to superimpose your family eating lunch way up high but I thought it needed a little more oomph to make the image really grab the viewer. The city-scape and I-beams are stock footage with a shadow I added using a gradient. The Skater (now my son-in-law) is really on ground level. The claw is clipped from a public domain image and I added a radial Gaussian blur. Lastly I used a slight fisheye filter on the entire set of composited images to mesh them together and add a touch of photorealism.
