photo by PBmedia One of my shots of Mike Johnson made the parting shot in the January 2011 issue of Outside Magazine. I took it earlier this year while shooting for my slideshow project, Golden State. See Golden State and watch the full sequence of frames leading up to this ____ moment.

After seeing the shot, Mike joked about it getting a Picture Of the Day on pinkbike.com. I put it up and it actually got a POD. Now, the photo on pinkbike has 68K+ views and 526 comments. There's an ongoing discussion on the parting shot with words by Mike on ridemonkey.com.

Huge thanks to Mike for making this shot happen!

photo by PBmedia Golden State is finally done after 4 months of shooting for it. I got it up at the last minute before leaving for fontana Saturday morning. After waiting an hour, the rendering came out like crap. When I got back last night, I tried it again and got the rendering settings right. Check it out at http://goldenstateslideshow.us
