Bike Salute . com

I am working on the photos and I will post them soon.

The plan for the summer is to shoot cyclist holding their bikes over their head while submerged in a body of water (most likely lake Michigan)

The photo mosaic and the 1024 bike salutes merged will be on display at the Chicago critical mass Bike Winter Art Show that opens today

I’ll have shirts for sale at the Bike Winter Swap Meet and Urban Bicycle Expo on Saturday, February 6, 2010 between 11:00am - 6:00pm Jaks tap 901 W. Jackson Blvd.

This is an early test of an interactive video effect. Each pixel in the big image is the top part of a bike salute. I am working on a way tou use real photos instead the illustration.
The music was added to the video to make it jolly and more fun to watch.

The next series of bikes salutes will have a theme that is not geographical. The next series is going to be the video series. Short videos of people lifting their bikes over their head. I am trying to procure a large room where I can shoot this. contact me if you have any ideas.

this post is a little late but never than not at all. I had lots of fun cycling in the countryside and the event was well organized. The photos from the Hilly hundred constitute the Indiana series.

This weekend I’ll be riding the Hilly Hundred in Southern Indiana and make a new series of bike salutes over there. The plan afterward is to do several series of bike salute in a photo studio with several themes. I have so many ideas it is hard to choose the right one.

another way to browse the Chicago series is the brand new photo mosaic. Created with MacOSaiX and the a Zoomify export from Photoshop.

Welcome LA readers, shout out to my cousin Hanoch In LA.

One of reasons why I continued pass the 1000 photos mark to 1024 was so I can create a large image with all of them tiled together.

Berlin was a bliss and I feel that my visit was way too short. I went on a bike tour on one day and rented a bike the next day. I got to see Knut, Nefertiti,a floating swimming pool and Lola’s house. For bike salutes I went to Keirin cafe because I read that it is a bike messengers hangout. Over there I talked with locals and had their photos taken. They were all friendly and the Barista even happened to wear a Chicago cubs cap. When I asked them how come hardly no one was wearing a helmet the answers ranged between “Because we are fashionistas” to “Because we are not American”.
