how come you always ride behind your wife?
Posted by tee at June 3, 2006 02:50 AMWow! I absolutely love this shot! It makes me feel like I'm moving along with the biker in front. I even get a bit dizzy looking at it too long! Did you shoot this using the program mode considering you were riding your bike and shooting at the same time too! However you did it, it's a brilliant shot!
Posted by Sarah at June 3, 2006 03:40 AMHappy birthday, Talayeh!!

Posted by John Piercy at June 3, 2006 06:42 AMHAPPY BIRTHDAY Talayeh!! you are beautiful! you have deep dark eyes like my son.
I love this shot- it almost looks as if she is traveling through a time warp...w older buildings on one side and more modern ones on the left
This is great! I love the motion blur.
Posted by Laurie at June 3, 2006 08:25 AMHappy birthday Talayeh!
And a great many more to follow.
wonderful shot...I have been trying to get one like this but my hand is never steady enough...that's means I got everything blurred...;-(
Posted by lisi at June 3, 2006 09:21 AMWonderful Sam, you did it again. This is a surrealistic scene. I know that area of course but my pictures of it would never do what this does.. great!
Happy birthday to Talayeh.
Talayeh! Happy Birthday!
What a glorious photograph! Sam's wife is very beautiful. Do we have a shot of both of you together?

Posted by Ali at June 3, 2006 11:32 AMWHo! 1/15 sec shutterspeed while not moving your hand? Thats a nice job! I like the speed thing and the depht in the picture.
Posted by michael at June 3, 2006 11:33 AMI love it .. so good !!
Posted by Easa at June 3, 2006 11:55 AMExcellent shot! You're brave to risk a shot while controlling a bike...one bump...whoops! Bye bye DSLR! :o)
Posted by Dave MacIntyre at June 3, 2006 11:55 AMFantastic shot, Sam. The motion blur is just perfect. Good job holding it steady.

Posted by Jill at June 3, 2006 12:56 PMWarp speed captain.
Very nice capture. I feel like I'm getting pulled into the picture.
Posted by Dave at June 3, 2006 12:58 PMExcellent shot. I thought you were stood behind her and used a zoom lens to create the blur. Thats some balance you've got there :)
Posted by Pete at June 3, 2006 01:41 PMHappy birthday Talayeh...:)wish you the best
Posted by Niusha at June 3, 2006 02:41 PMyour wife is beautiful! happy birthday to talayeh, and an unbelievable picture to go with it once again. it makes me feel so carefree.
Posted by stephanie at June 3, 2006 03:16 PMHey bud, I see my girlfriend's street is really popular. It must be OCAD. =)
Posted by Jonathan Greenwald at June 3, 2006 03:30 PMI think I'd say that taking pictures while riding, especially if you're trying to use the view finder rather than shooting from the hip - so to speak - would come under: Likely more dangerous than using a cellphone while driving ( a car or bike ). On a bike the streetcar tracks look inviting for a toss on your head if you drop into one.
You're crazy, Sam. Keep it up. Interesting how empty the street is. If you fell a driver would have to go out of their way to hit you.
And Happy birthday Talayeh! But you need to get a rear view mirror and keep watch on that dare devil husband of yours. Joy to your life.
Posted by Hugh Petrie at June 3, 2006 03:52 PMA totaly awesome shot man, awesome!
Posted by Kian at June 3, 2006 04:22 PMFantastic capture! I love how the street just stretches on forever. Seems like it really captured the moment.

Posted by mike at June 4, 2006 12:00 PMVery nice! It almost has a moving quality to it. Like it's being sucked away or something.
Posted by Addison at June 4, 2006 11:00 PMYou should have a gallery exhibit called "Motion Pictures" with a caption something like "Sam Standing Still." Include shots like this and your panning. It would be great.
Posted by Kevin at June 5, 2006 11:54 AMnice! I like this effect.
Posted by A thinker at June 5, 2006 02:48 PMSuch an interesting scene and great motion!
