Action/SportS
Timothy Bailey, 22, Photographer, Phoenix, AZ
“I shot this for a project I’m doing with natural disasters and extreme sports. It’s a composite of
four different pieces: the background, the sky, the biker, and the tornadoes. The first two were
photographed in Northern California in late afternoon. The biker I shot in my studio. It’s my friend
Ashley on her bike, which was on a stand; she was pretending to ride it, but it wasn’t actually
moving. I created the tornados by manipulating cloud images. I like to use a lot of special effects in
my photography, and I like having a challenge.” See more at www.timothybaileyphotography.com.

Architecture
George Hatzipantelis, 48, IT Consultant, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
“I made my first visit to the Art Gallery of Ontario during lunch one day with a friend. When I saw this
Frank Gehry-designed staircase, I fell in love with it, so I brought out my camera and began climbing
up and down, trying to find the best perspective. I ended up near the bottom, hanging backwards over
the banister and looking straight up.” See more of his photos at www.shuttered-dreams.com.
