Thursday evening a Ride of Silence was held in Portland to remember fallen cyclists from the past year. A worthy endeavor in which I wish I’d been able to take part.

For more coverage and info see bikeportland.org.

Just got this done for them today - we shot Adam (cello), Joël (boom box), and Joel (cymbals of death) in Joël’s living room against a blank wall with a sheet on the floor. Then I went home, picked the best poses and laboriously cut them away from the existing background using Photoshop, replacing it with the spotlit background you see, plus shadows for depth. All in a day’s work!
