Saturday night i chased the sun and the photo ops it leaves in it's wake. When you shoot with the sun to your back the scene become very evenly lit which allows you to crank saturation and contrast without looking too fake, I'm amazed with the color effects that i can get away with post processing a picture taken in twilight versus a picture taken in the day where small color changes are very obvious. Huge shout out to Ken Rockwell for giving me the courage to max out saturation and wake up at 6 in the morning to get those shots.



I found a lot of new places by just driving towards the sun away from the skyline trying to find fresh perspectives with great lighting.



There was a huge difference in the vibe of shooting Saturday night versus Sunday morning. The night was a rush of a adrenaline running from one spot to the next with party people and the homeless and a few other photographers making me a spectacle, "hey that photographer guy is still there". It's hard to be low key while carrying an extended tripod. Shooting in the morning was a totally different experience, it was colder but extremely peaceful, i saw nobody pre-sunrise and then only three joggers in the following hour. I felt like i had the city to myself while the sun rose forever with no sounds like the most under noted event. I wasn't as blown away with sunrise photos as with sunset, and subsequent long exposure night shots, but i still got some cool pictures that i couldn't have gotten any other time of the day, now i just need a nude model to lay in front of the pictures. Notably the river was much stiller in the morning, i think that the absence of the sun slows the wind which adds to the peaceful state.


I also ran into a guy that i used to work with who is an incredible designer and he happened to be taking pictures that morning as well! Small world! Here are the rest of the pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/riaz/

What do most people tell you when they hear that "losing weight and making money can be had through Network Marketing"?

Lie #1: "it's a scam!"
Truth: Not even close! Everyone that I've seen use Network Marketed Weight Loss Products have lost weight, often quite a lot too. And everyone that i've seen join Herbalife has made money even me.

Lie #2: "it's Illegal / pyramid scheme"
Truth: Only if you don't pay your taxes on all of the money that you make. Actually this is a throw back from a time when people sold business opportunities and made more money from the membership fees than the product sales royalties. It is an important distinction to make but if your going to join one of the big ones like Herbalife, Mary Kay, Avon they have already got a good reputation so you don't have to worry about anything being shady. In fact some of them are publicly traded companies which means that they get very closely scrutinized by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Check out the stock (NYSE: HLF), I wish that i had bought some.

Lie #3: "Only The people at the top, who got in early, make any money"
Truth: In most plans you start making money as soon as you start to sell and the amount that you make is only self limited. The residual income builds up a over time but every year is seeing More people qualifying for the big bucks then every previous year.

Lie #4: "It expensive and most people give up anyway"
Truth: These days the joining cost is way down, with Herbalife being one of the cheapest, and the retention rate is near 50% after 12months!
