I'm not a photographer, but I'm thoroughly intrigued by the photo "Philly0908-29.jpg." How did you capture the guy as stationary and the background as moving, instead of the reverse?

I absolutely love the first shot!

It's easy. Basically, I set the camera to a fixed time (about 1 25th of a second). Then I follow the subject with the camera while I hit the button. Since I'm moving the camera with the skater, he stays in one place in the photo, while the rest becomes a blur.

It's a technique called "panning"

That's awesome! Thanks for taking the time out to explain it. :) Cool effect.

I went to the Chestnut St loc for years without even knowing what was around the corner. More relaxing than international coffee.

You mean that little green garden? I thought it was just a public park.

Hey, I love your icon, man. Is that you in the pic or did you take it? (or both?)
