These are just a sample. You’ll have to wait until I start a photo blog to have anything more organized.
In the meantime, you can head over to my flickr page to see more.

Nice images! Thanks for sharing them.
I assume you used some type of software to tweak at least a few of those shots. Could you tell me which effects/filters you used as I would like give them a try myself.
Thanks! Glad you like them.
I used a variety of things for the photos. Most of my photos go thru Aperture, which is a nice management program from Apple. I try to do all my editing there if possible. I process the HDR photos with Photomatix, a great tone-mapping program that can either give you very realistic hdr pics or the more surreal ones I enjoy. (After photomatix, it’s back to Aperture for some more tweaking). Then all the iphoto photos are processed with a handful of apps. I can give you a full list if you are interested in that.
