The above collection of downtown cityscapes is a sampling of the various frames put together through Adobe layering, or similar. The majority of these pictures constitute twenty or more individual ‘shots’ massed together to complete one. Almost always they are snapped on the same days excursion and then studied in whole or parts on how they can contribute to the end project. The after print additions embellish the final piece – such as glass, wire, glow paper, newsprint etc – but cant easily be shown here.

CityScapes resulted in bicycling downtown San Diego Sunday mornings during the Great Recession. That was a time when construction activity halted and you could also get about town without injury. Yep, try to do snaps from a moving bicycle while avoiding traffic and potholes.
