Brooks, I'll trade you my woodworking skills for your photography skills, you up for a trade?! Man, you work never ceases to amaze me, no way those smokes can look that good in real life. Fantastic work as usual.

You should open a pay site for cigar porn, I'd subscribe!
I agree however I'm pretty sure most of his photos are post-processed since most of them are applied too strongly with a DoF software filter and sometimes in the wrong areas that make it look unnatural. Don't get me wrong, I love viewing Brook's photos as much as everyone else.

Hey!

Actually, it is the lenses I use that give it the DOF (Depth of Field), as I do very little Post Processing of the images...

However, you are right that I tend to push the boundaries of focus (and DOF), I do that in my wedding work as well LOL!

But I assure you that SOMETHING is in focus in each of my photographs I take :)

Thanks for the comments!

I agree...I'm always impressed and humbled by your photos. I'd love just to have moderate skills, but you really have a gift, Brooks!

I just point and click. Then I hope there is no red eye and that the picture is in focus. Your photos are pretty impressive.

Brooks! Are you a photographer? Probably a stupid question, but I dont want to go searching for past posts. If so we should talk tomorrow night!

I smoked a porkchop this afternoon after having picked up a couple last week. It was truly a great smoke. Will have to go back and get some once he gets more in. BTW, Jose is a very cool guy and his shop is great. I definitely recommend checking it out when in Boston.

Can't wait to see some reviews of this stick! Sounds great, though I'm not holding my breath to get any--I can't keep up with all of Petes special releases, lol.
