Memories of Mike Miller
ByDerekLast Thursday, our good friend Mike Miller passed away. Many people knew Mike from the work he did for the Buffalo Central Terminal, Broadway Fillmore Alive, and most recently Preservation Buffalo Niagara.

Higgins vs. The Skyway, the return
ByDerekCongressman Brian Higgins today repeated his call for the Skyway to be torn down and replaced, and every news outlet ran with it like it was major news. It’s been four years since I’ve written on the topic, but the claims that Higgins made today seemed to me to be more over the top than…

for something like this, to replicate the feel I think you want, you probably want to feather edges of your faux-vignette a little more and add a layer or two of grain to give it more of a realistic, film-y feel. Very cool shot, though.
