It’s nice to be back with a few hundred images to work through. I need to remind myself to get out and continue to get the Suburban images when the light is right. Tomorrow looks like a good bet, with relatively warm temperatures and sun in the afternoon.

In the mean time, I’m developing this theme of motion in the black and white urban travel series. I’m working on gesture here mostly.

My way of working has been to load images into Aperture for scanning, rating and cataloging, then going to the rated photos to choose one for post processing. It gets exported, opened in Capture NX and optimized as a Color NEF. Then exported as a TIFF and opened in Photoshop.

In Photoshop, I try a few approaches, but leave it full screen on the big monitor unmanipulated until the next day. By then I generally have picked a firm direction to take the image.

I'm an MD, PhD Neurologist who left a successful academic career on the Faculty of The Johns Hopkins Medical School to develop new treatments in Biotech and Pharma. I became fascinated with how people actually make decisions based on the science of decision theory and emerging understanding of how the brain works to make decisions. My passion now is this deep explanation of what has been the realm of philosophy, psychology and self help but is now understood as brain function. By understanding our brains, I believe we can become happier, more successful people.
