Merry Christmas from us to everyone. On this beautiful winter morning, it is nice to remember what Christmas is all about.
After all, it was Jesus who died for our sins so that we could be saved. It is humbling to know there is nothing we can do, it is all through God’s grace that we are forgiven our sins. God bless you.

So many of you know I’ve been playing around with Tilt Shift photography. I’ve been basically, making miniatures out of life size reality with the help of Photoshop.
Well, someone has outdone the concept and has created a video by taking a TON of photos and running them through Photoshop via the batch edit. The final result is a miniature stop motion video created from real life, live action!

Okay, so there has been a boom in the popularity of what is called “tilt shift photography.” This is a type of lens that can rotate around 90 degrees and is used for architectural photos.
The effect creates an extreme depth of field and looks like a model. The following images are from my own Flickr account from trips I’ve taken. They are all real locations, not models, and blurred in Photoshop.

The first picture is a welder’s mask/helmet. My grandfather was a welder his entire life and used this mask in his shop. He even used this mask when he was contracted to be a welder for the Bay Bridge in Baltimore.
The second and third pictures are of Zoe. She’s our 5 1/2 month old German Shepherd and Black Lab mix and she just loves the camera, as you can see in the pics!

It has been a very busy past few weeks. The video production and animation business has been keeping my freelance video pipeline full. The magic has been going full force.
In fact, I was just performing at Philly’s Electric Avenue celebration on Wednesday. They had all the buildings light up in a choreographed light show to music. Broad Street was shut down to cars so we could fill the streets and watch the show. I was strolling around doing magic for the crowd.
While it was very cold (so much for global warming!), it was a beautiful evening and lots of people showed up for the celebration.
I had to laugh. At the end of the night, we all went back to the green room to get coffee, unload, and head our own ways. While I was dressed in my typical magic attire (black suit), there were a few other, more ‘noticeable’ entertainers. This one was unwrapping his lights!
