If you haven’t had a chance to check out the new West Ave developement on Kirby, it’s going to be a great inside the loop destination for shopping, living and eating. I had the opportunity to photograph the beginning phase and it turned out great! (click on image for full gallery)

Wow, these photos look surreal! HDR? Love em, and they make me wish I hadn’t moved out of the area.
Only the last two images in the gallery are HDR. I was looking for the headlight streaking effect for many of these, so the HDR process doesn’t quite support that. Thanks for the compliment!
